Gimmelwald
A tiny village below Mürren, with barns, wooden chalets and cows facing the three great peaks. It is a stop on the Schilthorn cable car.
Gimmelwald sits at 1,363 m between Mürren and Stechelberg and has about 130 residents. It keeps the look of a traditional mountain farming village, with wooden chalets, barns, hay racks and the clanging of cowbells. It faces the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, as well as the cliffs of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. In the village, a self-service “honesty shop” sells cheese and drinks, and a few small inns suit backpackers. Walking down from Mürren takes about 30–40 minutes through spectacular scenery. Getting there: take the first section of the Schilthorn cable car from Stechelberg.
