Are you interested in the construction of the Naters fortress and its missions during the Second World War?
Experience at first hand the army positions at the outbreak of war, the retreat of the Swiss army into the Reduit, the former armament and much more.
The Second World War is tangible and omnipresent in the historic tunnels. The Simplon Fortress Naters gives you an unforgettable impression of that ominous time.
The tour takes you to the artillery and telephone exchanges, the sick room, the detention room, the death chamber, the officers' mess with its wall painting and the National Bank money chamber. In addition to anti-tank guns and machine guns, there are also two 10.5 cm and four 7.5 cm cannons to admire.
