Melchsee‑Frutt cable car station

Highlight • Rest Area

The ascent and descent costs 37 SFR... it's worth going up and down by train, then you'll have more stamina for the beautiful mountain tours up here

Tannalp Alpine Cheese Dairy

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Every day, the fresh milk from the alpine cows is processed here. In the alpine hut, the cheese is produced on the wood stove with cheese kessi and traditional appliances.

Engstlensee

Highlight • Lake

This natural reservoir is not only beautiful to look at, but also benefits the surrounding communities. Part of it is tapped and generates environmentally friendly green electricity further down the valley.

Tannensee

Highlight • Lake

The Tannensee is a true gem. Depending on the weather, you get a wild highland feeling or a liberating bathing feeling in a Swiss mountain lake. A little less touristy than the Melchsee.
