There is also no shortage of unforgettable events: from the musical highlights of the Jazz Days Lenk in summer to the pure excitement of the international sled dog racing in winter. If you are looking for adventure, you will find plenty of it at the lofty heights of the Stockhorn. The climbing parks, bungee jumping and paragliding on this 2190-metre-high mountain will make your heart beat faster.

Hikers can watch the groundhogs sleeping while the Wildstrubel glacier is laid bare in front of their eyes. Various mountain herbs grow along the wayside. Whether it is the intense sunlight or the fertile ground, the aromatic panacea thrives in this environment. A tour through the Simmental’s nature is worthwhile.

In Lenk-Simmental traditions have always played a major role. Groups in traditional costumes and yodel choirs are part of every village show and hungry visitors are treated for an aperitif with local delicacies, such as mountain cheese and air-dried beef. Even the little ones are introduced to the art of weaving and yodelling. The unique alpine culture can be discovered with all your senses and it demonstrates its timeless charm.
