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.

 Latest updates on Penang Travel Tips

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
