The Melchsee-Frutt sports lifts connect Stöckalp with the Melchsee-Frutt high plateau and open up a varied nature and leisure area in the heart of the Obwalden mountains.
The Melchsee-Frutt cable car take guests from Stöckalp to the Melchsee-Frutt high plateau at 1,920 meters above sea level in just a few minutes. The modern gondola lift provides access to a car-free nature and vacation area, which is characterized by its vast landscapes, clear mountain air and the lake of the same name. Melchsee-Frutt is a popular starting point for hikes, fishing, family excursions and bike tours. Restaurants, accommodation, an adventure playground and barrier-free facilities round off the tourist offer.

In winter, Melchsee-Frutt is transformed into a versatile winter sports area with ski slopes, toboggan runs, winter hiking trails, snowshoe trails and cross-country ski trails. The well-developed destination offers snow sports for all levels as well as family-friendly offers and modern infrastructure.
