Lenk in the Bernese Oberland is a place to enjoy winter in its purest form. Being a wide valley, it is a most inviting place for long walks, while skiers can choose between the Betelberg and Metsch, from which they can even cross over into neighbouring Adelboden. The hiking trail along the upper reaches of the Simme really is a fairytale, with ice floes bobbing downstream and snow-clad trees and bushes as far as the eye can see. The hike follows the Simme all the way up to Simmen Falls, where the stream down off the mountain before dispersing in the broad plain of Lenk.
