Melchsee-Frutt is a car-free village perched on a high plateau in Obwalden, on the shores of Lake Melchsee. The ski area extends up to an elevation of 2,255 meters and enjoys reliable snow conditions throughout the winter.

It is accessible by gondola from Stöckalp in the Melchtal. Sixteen lifts serve about 40 kilometers of varied slopes, ranging from easy runs around the lake to steeper descents on the Bonistock and Balmeregghorn.

The plateau is also ideal for cross-country skiing, winter hiking, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. An 8-kilometer-long toboggan run leads down to Stöckalp.

The Frutt Ski School offers lessons for children and adults. With its gentle slopes and car-free village, Melchsee-Frutt is ideal for families.
