Die Tour beginnt im Besucherzentrum der BLS in Frutigen. Zunächst erhalten Sie anhand eines Modells einen ersten Eindruck vom Tunnelsystem und seiner Funktionsweise. Mit einem Kleinbus fahren wir anschließend zum Nordportal und besichtigen die Interventionstreppe. Weiter geht die Fahrt nach Mitholz und wir tauchen in die faszinierende Welt des Lötschberg-Basistunnels ein. Dazu gehört eine Besichtigung der Technikzentrale Mitholz, der Versuchsstrecke im Massstab 1:1 sowie ein exklusiver Blick in den Eisenbahntunnel, wo die Züge mit 200km/h dicht an uns vorbeirauschen.
