Gimmelwald is a small Swiss hamlet in the mountains of the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. As of 2011, it has fewer than 200 inhabitants, many of whom are related.

Gimmelwald is one of those pristine car-free villages in the Swiss mountains. It supports itself with cottage industries such as the making of fresh cheeses. It has a few hotels and guesthouses offering accommodation to tourists who come to admire the spectacular sceneries.

Gimmelwald is one of those places that time seems frozen. You see farmers going about their daily routine, tending to their cows and small vegetable plots. Nobody seems to be in a hurry to go anywhere.

Visiting Gimmelwald

Gimmelwald is reached by the Schilthorn Cable Car. It is between Stechelberg downhill and Mürren uphill. The cable car continues on until the summit of Schilthorn.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
