Frutigen Tropical House

Experience the wonderful greenery

At the foot of the Bernese Alps, there’s a paradise waiting to be discovered – the Frutigen Tropical House. The Alpine water, the fish farm and the tropical gardens – a harmonious trio under one roof, as well as a triply innovative energy concept.

Dank der Wärme, die durch das Bergwasser des Lötschberg-Basistunnels gewonnen wird, können seit 2009 in Frutigen Wärme liebende Fische und Pflanzen in Gewächshäuser gezüchtet werden. Die Gewächshäuser im Tropengarten sind frei zugänglich, man sollte aber einen Besuch der kostenpflichtigen Ausstellung nicht verpassen. Denn um zu lernen wie ein grünes Wunder mitten in den Alpen entstehen konnte und wie das natürlich warme Wasser aus dem Lötschberg genutzt wird, um tropische Früchte zu züchten und Kaviar zu produzieren, ist eindrücklich. Für die Kinder gibt es eine spezielle Entdeckertour. Am Schluss hat man die Möglichkeit die tropischen Früchte im Shop zu kaufen oder diese im Restaurant zu degustieren.

Der RegioExpress Lötschberger bringt Sie in weniger als 45 Minuten und ohne Umsteigen nach Frutigen. Ein kurzer Fussmarsch bringt Sie direkt zum Tropenhaus Frutigen.

Permanent exhibition

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.
