7 Isenfluh The idyllic mountain village with the fabulous views and powerful paths Many a legend is told in this small farming village situated above Lauterbrunnen. It lies away from the main stream of tourists and has to this day maintained its originality. The road to Isenfluh is narrow and winds its way high up in a series of corners and includes a tunnel that makes a 360° turn within the mountain. The old road was covered by a landslide at the beginning of the 1990s, leaving Isenfluh accessible merely by chairlift for a certain time. Perhaps this is why the tranquil village has maintained its originality. Nature, legend and strength places – the theme path of the same name leading from Isenfluh via Alp Sulwald to the Suls-Lobhorn hut takes you past strength places and heightens your perception of the natural surroundings. Standing at the edge of the precipice, high above the Lauterbrunnen valley with the Lütschine river far down below, the legend of the „Haagenmanndli“ is told. He is said to have used his hook to pull children down over the rock wall should they have been standing too close to the edge. In contrast to the other villages in the Jungfrau Region, a different dialect is spoken here. Whereas Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren and Lauterbrunnen were originally settled by the Walser people, the dialect in Isenfluh shows influences from the northern side. Tip: A«Sulwaldkaffi» and «Hasli-Chöche» in the Sulwaldstübli.

8 Gimmelwald Peace and authentic alpine culture in front of a grand backdrop So much care and attention has been paid to the decoration of the facades of the chalets that this small alpine farming village could be part of a museum. The village is located half-way up to Mürren and is a prime example of the power and beauty of the glaciated mountains. The idyllic mountain village is situated half-way between Stechelberg and Mürren, after the first section of the Schilthorn cable car up the steep rock walls. Those staying here are so close to the grand backdrop of the north faces of the Bernese Alps that it virtually takes your breath away. Walks to Tanzbödeli, to Mürren and the Schilthorn, or the hutting tour through “Hintere Gasse” to Kandersteg start here. It is just the right place for families and guests not looking for great luxury. Tip: Try the via ferrata from Müren to Gimmelwald and enjoy the spectacular views into the Lauterbrunnen valley and a Nepalese bridge as the grand finale.
