Frutigen

Tucked into the Kandertal in the Bernese Oberland, Frutigen is a place whose character is shaped by the Kander River and the steep Alpine slopes enclosing the valley. The town stands on the main route toward Kandersteg and the Lötschberg rail corridor, a link that has long connected the Bern region with Valais to the south. Above the settlement, the ruins of medieval Tellenburg recall Frutigen’s valley-route history. Frutigen is also known for Tropenhaus Frutigen, where heat from water emerging from the Lötschberg Base Tunnel is used for tropical cultivation and sturgeon farming.
