Intro

Discover the green paradise. At the foot of the Bernese High Alps lies a paradise waiting to be discovered: Tropenhaus Frutigen. Mountain water, fish farming and a tropical garden - a harmonious trio under one roof with three times the appeal, as well as an innovative energy concept. All of this and more at Tropenhaus Frutigen.

The tropical atmosphere, fish farming and alpine setting form a unique combination worldwide. For example, it relies upon closed, resource-efficient material cycles and renewable energies.

"How the fish came to the mountain": the permanent exhibition
The permanent exhibition at Tropenhaus Frutigen takes young and old visitors on a surprising journey of discovery. In five distinct areas, they delve into the themes of water, sturgeon, caviar, pleasure and energy, closely aligned with the activities and the philosophy of Tropenhaus Frutigen: an overall interactive experience full of sensory and virtual fun elements.

Audio guide and themed trails, tours and workshops
Tropenhaus Frutigen places particular importance on sharing knowledge and experiences. Those who wish can be guided through the exhibition using an audio guide or can learn more about coffee, bananas and orchids along the themed trails in the garden. Four one-hour tours – "Tropical Garden", "Sturgeon & Caviar", "Aquaculture" and "Energy, Technology & the Cycle" – and a range of interactive workshops complete the programme.

Restaurant Tropengarten
Tropenhaus gastronomy is inspired on a daily basis by the high-quality products from fish and caviar farming and the abundance of fruits and spices from the tropical garden. They are the stars that the kitchen chefs passionately combine with seasonal – usually regional – products. The special atmosphere in the restaurant amidst the tropical plants is captivating, as is the cuisine – mouth-watering delicacies that make visitors feel as though they are actually in the tropics.

Banquets, celebrations and corporate events
Thanks to the special atmosphere at Tropenhaus Frutigen, it is not just a wedding that can be one of the best days of someone's life. A company event, conference or family get-together create unforgettable memories thanks to a guided tour through the tropical garden, or thanks to the relaxed workshops where guests are invited to participate and, quite literally, spice things up.

The professional event organisers can put together tailored programmes, making each occasion a seamlessly organised event, whether for 2 or for 120 people.

For groups there is the possibility to have a behind-the-scenes tour: Here you can experience geothermal and alternative energy, aquaculture and sustainable production of food resources all under one roof in a informative tour. The qualified guides will give you great insights in german, english or french.
