Fort Famelon
Overview
Looking for adventure? Fort Famelon opens its doors to its hidden secrets in the mountains. An underground exploration to learn more about the history of the Swiss army with a beautiful view of the whole region.
Located 400m below the top of the Tour de Famelon, this WWII military fort has approximately 300m of corridors and 400m2 of rooms on 3 floors.
The lower floor houses all the facilities for the troops - dormitory, refectory, toilets and 4 combat rooms. The second and third floors are accessible via metal ladders (equipped with a safety line) which lead to a radio room, an emergency hatch and several observation posts - the view over the whole area is breathtaking!
Visiting this secret fort is a real experience and an ideal place for a great adventure.
