  • 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.

From here we followed the milky glacial meltwaters of the Lutschine River to Lauterbrunnen where we boarded the train for the last leg of our journey to Wengen, perched high on the alp above. It was a short walk to our hotel where we had time to settle in and admire the amazing scenery. It had been a very hot day with temperatures in the mid-30s and, as we enjoyed our evening meal on the terrace, we were treated to a superb alpenglow on the Jungfrau. Day 2 Monday 27th June The hot sunny weather of yesterday looked set to continue, so we took the cable-car up to Mannlichen. We were immediately in a different world, surrounded by a panorama of mountains, dominated by the imposing north faces of the Jungfrau and Eiger, and with a wealth of alpine flowers at our feet.

  • 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.

  • Lots of Snow on the Lauberhorn - Unfortunately No Spectators
    Verein Internationale Lauberhornrennen Postfach 385 CH-3823 Wengen Tel. +41 33 856 66 66 [email protected] www.lauberhorn.ch CHE-107.310.838 MWST Wengen, 31 December 2020 Lots of snow on the Lauberhorn - unfortunately no spectators An important test shortly before the 91st International Lauberhorn Races in Wengen has been passed: The snow inspection by the International Ski Federation FIS. The organizers are looking forward to exciting ski races in the Alpine World Cup despite the tough Corona conditions. They ask all ski fans to watch the races on TV due to the pandemic, as no spectators are allowed in Wengen. The International Ski Federation FIS checked the Ski World Cup courses on the Lauberhorn today, Friday (December 31, 2020). The snow inspection turned out to be positive throughout. Thanks to the snowfalls in the past few days, the entire mountain is covered in deep snow. This means that the slopes and also the scenery are ready for the 91st International Lauberhorn Races in Wengen. "So far this year, all in all, we have been lucky with the weather. The temperatures have been below freezing for a few days. The cold is perfect for the snow on and also off the piste," says a pleased OC President Urs Näpflin. Preparations in Wengen are on track. Please watch the races on television This year's Lauberhorn races, as in all areas of our lives, are strongly influenced by the ongoing pandemic. As is well known, the races will therefore be held without spectators. The spectator areas along the course, such as the popular Girmschbiel facing Hundschopf, Minschkannte and Canadian Corner will be closed.

  • Switzerland - June 2009
    SWITZERLAND - JUNE 2009. We decided to visit the area around Wengen for a week in mid June, in the hope of locating a few mammals and birds, and enjoying the superb scenery. We stayed in the excellent Hotel Berghaus www.wengen.com/hotel/berghaus which is a small family run establishment. As we were aware of the high cost of living in Switzerland, we opted for half board which allowed us to have a four course evening meal at a pre determined cost. This was a good move, although it did somewhat limit our flexibility in the evenings. As Wengen is a largely car-free town ( the only vehicles being licensed to residents ) having a hire car is not an option. Therefore travel is by cog railway, cable car or on foot ! We pre-bought Swiss Passes prior to our visit. These entitled us to free transfers from the airport to Wengen and back, and half price tickets on the trains and cable cars, for £ 107 each. As someone who rarely ( if ever ) uses public transport, I was slightly apprehensive about how easy all the travel would be. In fact, the signs throughout were excellent both on public transport, and on the walking trails and it proved simple to get around. The weather was mixed during our week. It is fairly obvious that on sunny days concentrate on the higher areas, as if the cloud or rain sets in the visibility falls to near zero !! Mammals: Alpine Ibex - 2 males seen on the slopes above Biglenalp on 17th. This seems to be a favoured area, as others have seen them here in previous years.
