Diemtigtal Nature Park

Seemingly secluded from the rest of the world, this lowermost but typical side valley of the Simmental is a cosmopolitan and welcoming place. The Diemtigtal valley is a 16km-long oasis of wilderness and pristine beauty.

The village of Diemtigen with its church and magnificent wooden houses is a feast for the eyes. It's no coincidence that this village at the entrance to the valley was awarded the Wakker Prize for its intact villagescape. The “Diemtigtal House Trails” guide visitors to the most beautiful buildings in different parts of the valley.

Offering a magical experience of nature, the Grimmimutz adventure trail gives visitors all manner of wondrous and fantastical sights.At the end of the valley, children can hear the enthralling story of the “Grimmimutz” and the “evil pepper witch”.

Meanwhile the Wiriehorn bike park provides for a commensurate adrenalin rush, while Switzerland’s largest Alpine cheese dairy offers delights for the palate, and the magical Seebergsee enchanted moments.
