What's New at Kempinski

The World of Kempinski

From Europe to China; Africa to the Middle East, here’s what’s new in the world of Kempinski. We show you an alpine lodge that’s the perfect hideaway all year round. We head to Hangzhou for a taste of traditional German cuisine and on to Nairobi to sample take away food Kempinski-style. And we tell you about West Africa’s largest luxury spa, created by Resense at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City.

Frutt Mountain Resort: your secret hideaway in the Swiss Alps

Melchsee-Frutt, Switzerland

Frutt Mountain Resort sits on the shore of the Melchsee mountain lake at 1,920 metres above sea level, with spectacular views over the lake and surrounding mountains.

Frutt Mountain Resort sits on the shore of the Melchsee mountain lake at 1,920 metres above sea level, with spectacular views over the lake and surrounding mountains.

Frutt Mountain Resort is a modern alpine hideaway, perched on a plateau, in the small, unspoiled holiday resort of Melchsee-Frutt – a pretty village on the shores of the Melchsee mountain lake, a short distance from Lucerne.

With a nod to craftsmanship and the charm of traditional mountain lodges, it is the perfect escape for families, groups of friends, or couples - particularly honeymooners.

At Frutt Mountain Resort, you are enveloped by the beauty of nature in a traffic-free, family-friendly resort. At 1,920 metres above sea level, its spectacular panoramic views of the neighbouring lake and surrounding mountain range are bathed in sunshine during the day and illuminated by twinkling stars at night.

In winter, when the snow creates a glittering white wonderland, adventureseekers can travel 40 kilometres of the Melchsee-Frutt slopes by ski, snowboard or sledge. If you’d rather explore hidden paths and picturesque landscapes, you'll also find trails for cross-country skiing or a slower-paced morning of snowshoe hiking right on your doorstep.

And when the snow melts, and the season changes, spring arrives and the wildlife awaken from their winter hibernation. This is the perfect time to reconnect with nature on hiking and mountain bike excursions. Leisurely afternoons of fishing and visits to local farms are great opportunities to unwind and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings.

Back at the resort, two spa areas, together with a wide array of leisure activities, will delight guests of all ages.

Whatever season you choose to visit, Frutt Mountain Resort is a wonderful base for an unforgettable alpine escape.

There’s so much to do outdoors, but when you want to unwind, head to the hotel’s luxurious spa for some indulgent ‘me time’.
