2025 Gimmelwald Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#winhkflight #waterfall #Stechelberg #switzerland After we explored Lauterbrunnen, we walked along the valley then we spontaneously diverted out to take bus at Trummelbachfall to Stechelberg. Stechelberg is part of the Lauterbrunnen valley, the entrance to the upper valley. Then we took a walk beside Parking Stechelberg to enjoy the nature, river and waterfall. There’s a place for you to barbecue too if you wanted to do so. We had a pleasant walk around that area before we take the cable car to Gimmelwald. You also can take the cable car to Murren. I want to travel to Hong Kong to explore a different culture, nature, and food.

Perched high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley in the Bernese Oberland, the tiny village of Gimmelwald is one of Switzerland’s best-kept secrets. Unlike its more famous neighbors, this alpine hamlet has resisted the tide of tourism — and that’s exactly what makes it so special. There are no cars here. Just winding paths, wooden chalets with flower-draped balconies, and the ever-present sound of cowbells echoing through the meadows. The first time I stepped off the cable car from Stechelberg, I was greeted by a sweeping panorama of snow-capped peaks, waterfalls cascading down the cliffs, and a profound silence broken only by the breeze. Life in Gimmelwald moves slowly — and intentionally. Locals still farm the land, cheese is made in traditional huts, and hikers pause to take it all in. I found myself doing the same. Whether sipping fresh milk from a roadside vending hut, chatting with a mountain farmer, or simply watching clouds roll across the Eiger, I felt deeply connected to nature and tradition. This isn’t the Switzerland of postcards — it’s better. Gimmelwald is untouched, unhurried, and unforgettable. Best Time to Visit: May to September for hiking and alpine blooms; December to February for a peaceful winter escape. Location: Gimmelwald, Lauterbrunnen Municipality, Canton of Bern, Switzerland #Gimmelwald #HiddenSwitzerland #AlpineEscape #SwissMountains #SlowTravel #NatureRetreat #BerneseOberland #AuthenticSwitzerland #MountainMagic #TravelTranquility
