Gimmelwald

Gimmelwald is a village in the Bernese Oberland at an altitude of 1,367 metres. Originally a Walser settlement, it is included in Switzerland’s inventory of townscapes worthy of protection. Chalets, cheese stores and farm animals are features of its village setting.

Editorial interpretation: the combination of settlement history and everyday agricultural elements suggests a reading of Gimmelwald through its built fabric. Looking at storage buildings alongside houses offers a way to consider the village as a working place.
