Experience how the naturally warm water from the Lötschberg is used to grow tropical fruits and to produce real sturgeon caviar. In five thematic worlds, visitors are invited to an interactive exhibition. The topics of water, sturgeon, caviar, pleasure and energy, always in close connection with the events within the tropical house, are animated and communicated in a playful manner, giving the opportunity to learn a lot of new things and to try them out. At the beginning, virtual figures – a groundhog from the region, a sturgeon, a scientist, and a cook – welcome you and guide you through the exhibition.

A tour of the greenhouses enthuses and surprises with the multitude of exotic fruits, spices and plants. Bananas, papayas, mangoes, carambolas, dwarf bananas, guaves, mangosteens, grapefruits, pomegranate apples, avocados, pineapples or kumquats are all over 170 varieties that can be discovered. Different thematic trails lead visitors through greenhouses and allow them to discover a wealth of information on coffee, bananas or spices. Access to the greenhouses is free.

With a tropical rainforest, Siberian sturgeon, Alpine caviar and an interactive exhibition entitled "How the fish came to the mountain", at Tropenhaus Frutigen there's always something new to discover. Young and old adventurers alike can learn all sorts of valuable knowledge in a fun way on current topics such as nutrition, the environment and sustainable use of energy.

How about a voyage of discovery from the age of the dinosaurs all the way into the future? And to ensure that the youngest visitors don't miss anything, Lili the marmot will provide them with information in a fun way.
