Tropenhaus Frutigen, Botanical garden in Frutigen, Switzerland
The Tropenhaus facility contains greenhouse sections filled with tropical plants maintained at temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius and 70 percent humidity.
The botanical garden opened in 2003 as part of a sustainable initiative to utilize geothermal water from the Lötschberg Base Tunnel for tropical agriculture.
The garden functions as an educational center demonstrating the characteristics of equatorial plant species from the Amazon Basin, Congo, and Indo-Malaysian regions.
Visitors can explore tropical plant exhibits, purchase local fish products, and participate in escape room activities within the facility complex.
The facility combines sturgeon farming for caviar production with tropical plant cultivation using thermal spring water from deep mountain tunnels.
