Fortress experience

Visit the Simplon Fortress in Naters on an exciting guided tour, followed by a traditional dish from Swiss military cuisine.
The experience begins at the Brig train station with a ride on the Kleine Simplon Express through Brig’s old town and the historic village of Naters. You’ll then walk along a narrow street to the Simplon Fortress in Naters, where an exciting guided tour of this unique fort awaits you. After former fort guards, reserve officers, and soldiers of the Swiss Army have let you in on the long-kept secret of the Simplon Fortress in Naters, you’ll be served an aperitif before finally enjoying a “Spatz” in the gamelle—a meat stew prepared in the style of Swiss military cuisine.
After the meal, you’ll walk from the Simplon Fortress in Naters back to the starting point, the Brig train station.
