The history of Melchsee-Frutt Bahnen began in 1935 with the construction of the longest aerial cableway in Switzerland at the time from Stöckalp to Melchsee-Frutt, built by Otto Reinhard. Over the following decades, the region developed into a popular excursion and winter sports destination. The first Erzegg ski lift followed in 1951. In 1957, a new aerial cableway from Stöckalp to Melchsee-Frutt with cabins for 33 people was put into operation. The infrastructure grew continuously, including the opening of new ski lifts and hotels.
In 1976, the Stöckalp-Melchsee-Frutt aerial tramway was replaced with a gondola lift system and modernization continued, for example with the new 15-passenger gondola lift in 2012 and the expansion of snowmaking facilities. Today, the area offers a wide range of leisure activities in summer and winter, and new developments such as the Fruttli Trail (2017) and the "Uf dr Wildi" playground (2020) make it particularly family-friendly.
