The world of Grimsel

27 July 2020

The world of Grimsel (die Grimselwelt) is a world of hydropower, waterfalls, mountain and reservoir lakes, and Europe’s water castle.

The mountains and glaciers and their granite rocks, gorges, the trift cable car, alpine meadows, bridges, hiking trails, deep valleys and the 120-meter high Reichbach waterfall are part of it.

Sherlock Holmes challenged his arch-enemy Professor Moriaty to a fight at this waterfall.

With its 106% gradient, the Gelmerbahn is also Europe’s steepest open cable car. The Aare Gorge is the gateway to this world. The gorge is 1400 meters long and 200 meters deep.
