We spoke to Livia Bühler, the digital media manager of the Lenk-Simmental Tourism Board. She shared with us insights about the incredible experiences and natural wonders this Swiss gem has to offer. Nestled amidst picturesque mountains, Lenk boasts a peaceful atmosphere and a variety of outdoor activities. From hiking and biking tours to skiing and snowboarding in the winter months, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this amazing town, and that’s why we chose it to be the site of our autumn workation.
One of the advantages of Lenk is its close connection to nature. As you stroll through the village, you’ll hear the gentle chimes of cowbells, adding a touch of Swiss authenticity to your experience. The village is surrounded by magnificent mountains, creating a breathtaking backdrop, especially during the autumn season when the light paints the landscape in vibrant hues. Be sure to explore the Sibe Brünne, the source of our river, the Simme, where you can witness the water flowing directly from the mountains into the stream, accompanied by stunning waterfalls along the trail.
Beyond the natural beauty, Lenk also hosts a variety of local events and attractions. If you visit during the Alp season, you can partake in the Alplenfest, a delightful celebration featuring cow parades, a market showcasing local products, and the crowning of Miss Lenk, the most beautiful Simmental cow. For sports enthusiasts, the Hornmussen Tournier offers a glimpse into the traditional Swiss sport of Hornussen. Additionally, in December, you can experience the festive spirit by exploring the charming Christmas markets in Lenk and the surrounding villages.
