Good to Know

Peace, quiet an genuine alpine traditions in a magnificent setting. The arrival in Gimmelwald is alone spectacular - a cable car swings high over the rocks past the highest free-falling waterfall in Switzerland. The intact, pedestrian, Alpine village with its 7 farms and many houses decorated with an aaray of flowers, has maintained its original character. Above all, families and young people from all corners of the world come together here.
