Walk the Downhill Trail to Gimmelwald's Honesty Shops

Instead of riding the cable car down to Gimmelwald, take the gentle downhill walking path that winds past lush mountain pastures, timber chalets, and grazing cows. This easy stroll offers breathtaking views of the Jungfrau massif and gives you an intimate glimpse into traditional high-altitude Swiss farming life.

Once in Gimmelwald, explore the village's iconic unstaffed honesty shops. Local farming families put out wheels of alpine cheese, cured sausages, and mountain honey right outside their homes. Leave exact cash in Swiss Francs (CHF) or use local payment apps to buy authentic, farm-fresh souvenirs directly supporting local families.
