ALPINE LODGE
The «Frutt Lodge & Spa» concept is the response to new requirements in the upmarket segment
by guests with a preference for a contemporary lifestyle. Investment in the «Frutt Lodge & Spa» thus
means far more than merely owning property: it symbolizes the privilege of residing in exclusive surroundings.
Alpine comfort and security, authenticity and mountain adventure combined with discreet luxury.
This high-Alpine interpretation of the classic lodge is unique, creating an attractive hideaway nestling in
a mystical landscape in the very centre of Switzerland.
The unspoilt nature and inspiring Alpine world on the sunny Melchsee-Frutt high plateau at 1920 m and
complete with a lovely mountain lake offers a wide range of sport, leisure and natural attractions as well
as rest and relaxation in privileged seclusion.
The modern external architecture is in charming contrast to the interior, where much wood and natural
materials exude a cosy ambiance. The design of the rooms and public areas ensures plenty of light
and space.

Frutt Lodge
Rooms & Suites
58 Rooms and 3 Suites in 4 categories, from 34 to 71 m 2 in area, offer a spacious living area with

The large open fireplace adds a very special ambiance to the bar-lounge in the entrance area. Top
priority is placed on choice cuisine and fine wine. The food is fresh, naturally from regional produce,
and the expertly compiled wine list is one of Switzerland’s best. The style of service in the entire lodge
is personal, uncomplicated, service-oriented and professional.

Melchsee-Frutt
Location
Melchsee-Frutt is located at 1920 metres above sea level and belongs to the municipality of Kerns
in Canton Obwalden. The sunny high plateau is a historic health resort (since 1865) and enchants
visitors with its stunning scenery in unspoiled nature and the Alpine world with an idyllic mountain lake.
Melchsee-Frutt is traffic-free with restricted access for cars.

20 21
Melchsee-Frutt
climate
The climate is typically Alpine with pleasantly warm days (to 25°C) and cool nights in summer
and heavy snowfalls and minus temperatures in winter. The clearly defined seasons are summer (June
to October) and winter (December to April).

22 23
Melchsee-Frutt
Flora & Fauna
The Melchsee-Frutt high plateau fascinates visitors with its wealth of Alpine flora and fauna
including rare Alpine flowers and herbs. The relative isolation and proximity to a large ibex colony are
a rich source of encounters with wildlife. And chamois, marmots, snow grouse, wood grouse and eagles
can also be spotted in addition to ibex.

The New Aerial Gondola
The new Stöckalp – Melchsee-Frutt aerial gondola will start services in December 2012,
making the holiday destination much easier and faster to reach.
With 30 gondolas carrying 15 persons each, transport capacity will increase by about 75%,
to 1325 persons per hour. The planned aerial gondola and wind-sheltered top station will ensure that
Melchsee-Frutt can be comfortably and safely reached even in adverse weather conditions. There are
also plans for bus parking and a three-storey parking garage with two sheltered floors and an open roof
next to the bottom station. The parking garage will be primarily for guests staying overnight in Melchsee-Frutt.
This means that hotel and holiday apartment guests can arrive at any time and benefit from
reserved parking spaces. The more comfortable ride, shorter travelling time and much improved access
to the aerial gondola are convincing reasons for also making use of the aerial gondola in summer.
At the same time, a vertical lift will be installed at Melchsee-Frutt to overcome the 32-metre
height difference between the lake and village with ease. The exit is just five metres above the level
of the «Frutt Lodge & Spa» Hotel. This vertical lift, with a unique, breathtaking vantage platform, is
guaranteed to be another great attraction, as it means that reaching the lake from the top station will
be effortless. In addition, the top station will be located in the centre of Melchsee-Frutt, within easy
reach of most of the hotels, holiday homes and ski pistes.
The proposed overall project means that Melchsee-Frutt will remain competitive in future,
offer guests increased comfort, safety and quality and thus secure long-term jobs in the region. The
government of Canton Obwalden has also recognized the potential of Melchsee-Frutt and defined it
as a tourism focal point in the 2006-2020 strategic planning.

Melchsee-Frutt
Leisure & Sport
Melchsee-Frutt is an ideal starting point for all Alpine sports: hiking, Nordic walking, mountain
biking, climbing, alpinism, snowshoe trekking, cross-country and downhill skiing. The snow-sure wintersport
area has 32 kilometres of blue, red and black pistes as well as a snow park for freestsyle skiers
and snowboarders. 14 modern transport facilities provide access to the mountain slopes surrounding
the high plateau.
The longest sledge run in Central Switzerland is yet another attraction. In addition, the tranquillity,
security and an untouched natural landscape create the ideal environment in which to relax, unwind
and rediscover your inner self. It also offers a captivating contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life.
The nearby area around Lake Lucerne has an inviting all-year-round array of attractions, historic excursion
destinations and cultural events.

Investment Model
Guaranteed interest yield
The investor receives a guaranteed interest yield of 3% per annum on the investment sum (ROI), during
the first 5 years from the opening date of the «Frutt Lodge & Spa». In this case, own use of the hotel
room is limited to three weeks per year and excludes the high-season periods of Christmas and Fasnacht
(carnival). If own use exceeds three weeks or takes place during the above mentioned high-season
periods, the guaranteed interest yield will be reduced accordingly. The basis for this calculation is the
published room rate.
The concept of co-ownership already functions to perfection in other sectors and regions. It is the
fastest growing investment model in the fields of resorts, the hotel industry and residential development.
Participation on rental income after expiration of the 5 year period
The above-mentioned interest yield guarantee expires after the first 5 years of operation of the «Frutt

subject to prior reservation and sole payment of a fee for ancillary costs (heating, water, electricity and
cleaning). If the owner decides to occupy the hotel room for more than three weeks or during the highseason
periods (Christmas, Fasnacht carnival), he will be charged 80% of the published room rate. This
will be deducted from the guaranteed interest yield/rental revenue. Reservation for own use should in
principal be made 6 months in advance.
