  • General Information About Gimmelwald and Your Accommodation, the Chalet "Anneli"
    General information about Gimmelwald and your accommodation, the Chalet "Anneli" "Do you realize you're living in paradise?" And in fact: Our guests could not have said it more precisely! Gimmelwald, the small village in the Bernese Oberland on 1367 meter over sea (4485 foot), overlooking the UNESCO world heritage area Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn. The intact, pedestrian, Alpine village is located in the heart of the Swiss alps perched high on the edge of a cliff and embraced by Mother Nature herself, and one of the last car-free villages in Switzerland. It is accessible only with the Schilthorn-cableway or by foot. On icy winter nights, while the snow crunches softly under your feet, the stars are so close you could practically touch them. After a full day on the ski slopes or an impressive hike through the silent winter wonderland, you’re in the mood for a warm apple cider or spiced wine. Let yourself be enchanted by the native landscape, while skiing or hiking in the quiet winterworld. In summer the strenuous hike to the top of the Schilthorn is rewarded with an incomparable 360°- panorama view. See the ibex, chamois, and groundhogs in their natural environment. Discover forays of wild flowers like gentian and edelweiss. Travelling by car: Take the highway Bern, Thun, Interlaken, then direction Wilderswil, Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg. There is a big parking-place at the base-terminal of the Schilthorn cableway (subject to charges). There are transportation trolleys, which are taking your luggage free of charge up to Gimmelwald. Travelling by public transports: Take the train to Interlaken Ost, here you change the train to Lauterbrunnen.

  • Dorfchronik Niederried Bei Interlaken
    "Nidirriet", Niederried, wird kurz vor dem 15. April 1303 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Doch belegen einige wichtige Funde, dass bereits viel früher Menschen auf dem heutigen Gemeindegebiet gelebt haben. Somit beginnt die Chronik mit der Zeit dieser Funde. An- schliessend finden sich diverseste geschichtliche Themen aus Europa, der Eidgenossen- schaft, des Herrschaftsgebietes Bern und der Region, welche die Entstehung der heutigen Gemeindeform mit prägten oder zumindest beeinflussten. In all dies eingebettet sind ältere und neuere Be- und Gegebenheiten aus unserem Dorf. So ist es möglich, je nach Lust und Laune unser Gemeindegebiet zusammen mit seinen Einwohnern im Umfeld der Frühgeschichte, dann das Dorf Nidirriet in der Zeit seiner erst- maligen Benennung "56 Jahre vor 1303" (!), weiter die Bäuert Underried und später Nie- derried auf dem langen Weg hin zur Gegenwart kennenzulernen. ~ 4300 bis 1800 v. Chr. "Neolithikum" oder "die Jungsteinzeit" 1913 wurde beim Bahnbau westlich vom Weiler Ursisbalm in Niederried ein Hocker- grab aus dem Neolithikum gefunden. (Lage 637010 / 173675 / 584; unter dem nördli- chen der zwei Felsvorsprünge.) Das Grab aus 'Goldswilplatten' mit 1 m Länge und 0.4 m Breite enthielt ein Skelett einer 20 bis 25-jährigen Frau, den Kopf nach SW ge- richtet. 1924 wurde der Schädel von Prof. O. Schlaginhaufen als der niedrigsten bis dahin bekannten Variante der schweizeri- schen Neolithikerkapazität zugeordnet (kleinwüchsig, vergleichbar Pygmäen) und ist demzufolge um die 6'000 Jahre alt. Ausserhalb des Grabes im Nordosten la- gen wirr durcheinander Knochenüberreste zweier 7- bis 14-jähriger Kinder und eine Platte mit Asche. Vmtl. waren dies Spuren vom bereits damals üblichen Totenbrand. Weitere vier Gräber, "in nächster Nähe", wurden ohne Ausgrabung weggesprengt.

  • Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27Th August 2019 to Sunday 1St September 2019
    Capital Walkers- Trip to Wengen, Switzerland – Tuesday 27th August 2019 to Sunday 1st September 2019 Wengen The Bernese Oberland is a great place for walking. Wengen is a car-free village perched on a terrace in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, reached by mountain railway and with spectacular views to the high Alps. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains make a splendid backdrop to the area. Walkers are spoilt for choice for excellent walking trails in the area with stunning scenery. The walks will range in difficulty from easy to moderate/strenuous. You might wish to extend your trip to Switzerland by either coming earlier or staying on afterwards. Wengen Accommodation I propose staying at the Hotel Bellevue, where I have previously stayed a number of times, at the edge of the village on a ‘half board basis’, as this offers good value. The hotel has 3 stars. The rooms are simple but comfortable with en-suite facilities. The evening meal included on the half board basis is five-course. It is a set menu but the hotel, will accommodate dietary requirements if advised in advance. The hotel also has a small a-la-carte menu. 1 The owner of Hotel Bellevue has offered the following discounted rates to Capital Walkers if you would like to stay there. Price per person per night in single rooms (1 person) or in twin rooms (2 persons per room) Bed and breakfast with half-board: North-facing (facing road) CHF 96.- (approx. £81) South-facing (with view) CHF 116.- (approx. £98) Bed and breakfast only: North facing CHF 80.- (approx.
