Melchsee-Frutt: Mountain fresh breathing space
Surrounded by an admirable mountain backdrop at almost 2000 meters above sea level lies the family-friendly vacation resort of Melchsee-Frutt, which can be reached by cable car.
Starting from the Stöckalp valley station at the end of the Melch Valley, the gondola lift takes you up to the Melchsee-Frutt high plateau. Situated on the shores of Lake Melchsee, this sunny little village offers an alpine playground, fire pits and a themed trail in summer.
Its location between the Brünig and Engelberg valleys makes Melchsee-Frutt a central and popular hiking area.
Summer
In early summer, Melchsee-Frutt is known for its impressive fauna and flora. The deep blue and trout-rich mountain lakes Melchsee, Tannensee and Blausee not only delight passionate fishermen, but also anyone who wants to escape the heat in the valley. The sports climbing garden in the striking Boni rock band offers a sporting adventure. The "Fruttli Trail" is very popular with younger guests. Fruttli and his animal friends teach children about marmots in a playful way and encourage them to be active.
Various tasks can be solved on the educational trail and completed with a "Fruttli Pass". This turns family time into a fun adventure.
The Hasliberg - Melchsee-Frutt - Engelberg high-altitude hike is one of the great hiking classics. The six-hour four-lake hike from Melchsee-Frutt via Tannalp, Engstlenalp, Jochpass and Trübsee to Engelberg is particularly popular. Chairlifts and mountain railroads make it easy to shorten long stretches of the hike.
Our younger guests also benefit from a great offer. When accompanied by an adult, children up to the age of 16 travel free of charge on all cable cars of the Melchsee-Frutt sports lifts during the summer season.
Winter
The high plateau offers a wide range of sports activities in the winter months. Wide ski slopes, a freestyle park, snowshoe and winter hiking trails, a variety of cross-country ski trails and various restaurant and accommodation options stretch from 1080 to 2255 meters above sea level. Fruttiland" has a free practice area for the little ones. At the Vogelbüel ski lift, the more experienced can learn how to ride waves and troughs or slap the Fruttli's hand in the Fruttli-Cross.
Despite the ice and snow, fishing is not just a summer activity. On guided tours, you can also say "Petri Heil" during the popular ice fishing on Lake Melchsee in the winter months. The 8 km long descent from the Melchsee-Frutt mountain station to the Stöckalp valley station is unique for all sledgers. Fun that will certainly be remembered for a long time.
