Caving experience in Melchsee-Frutt

We all love hiking up the mountains, but have you ever wondered what the inside of these mountains looks like?

This trip is led by Niklaus Kretz, international mountain guide.

What’s the plan?

Meet your guide in Melchsee-Frutt (Bergstation) at 09:30.

Under the guidance of Niklaus, you will discover the souterrain of Melchsee-Frutt and explore one of the largest karst caves in Switzerland. We will spend over three hours inside the cave.
