A warm welcome to Gimmelwald!
Gimmelwald, the small village in the Bernese Oberland at 1367 m above sea-level (4485 ft), overlooking the UNESCO world heritage area Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn. The unspoilt, pedestrian, alpine village lies in the heart of the Swiss alps perched high on the edge of a cliff and embraced by Mother Nature herself. It is one of the last car-free villages in Switzerland. Chalets decorated with flowers, a cheese storehouse in the middle of the village, cattle grazing all around: Gimmelwald is like something out of a fairy tale. The approach is spectacular, giving you butterflies in your tummy as the aerial cable car rises from Stechelberg along the cliff walls as you pass magnificent waterfalls.
