zweisimmen

We’ve been spending 2 - 4 weeks in summer in Lenk for the past 10 years. This year we decided to stay in a nearby town - Zweisimmen. Location - Simmental The Simmental (Simmen Valley) is 30 miles long and runs south following the Simmen River from Lake Thun ending up in the mountains at Gstaad...

One of the many beautiful older houses.

Along the river walk.

A quiet, hot afternoon in Saanen.

Looking down into the Turbach valley.

A profusion of wildflowers at higher levels.

We go here most days! Great bread, gipfel, sandwiches, pastries, coffee.

The smaller river from Gstaad meets the river from Lenk in Zweisimmen, which means “two rivers”.

Ruins of a medieval castle overlooking Zweisimmen.

It’s like walking in a fairy land sometimes.

Buy eggs any time!

New chalet with 6 rentals, 2 on each floor. We were on the middle floor.

We hiked from here down to the river and then back to town.
