Gimmelwald is a small traffic-free village in the Bernese Oberland in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, and is located between Stechelberg and Mürren, at an elevation of 1363 meters (4472 feet).

[2] Gimmelwald is one of the few traffic-free villages in Switzerland where access by car is not possible due to a missing road connection.

In winter, farmers often work as well for the Schilthorn cable car by performing jobs like running ski lifts or ski-slope grooming.

Gimmelwald was stopped from being developed into a large ski resort by having it declared an avalanche zone which is only partly the case.

[citation needed] Gimmelwald has a 2.2 km long via ferrata connecting the neighbouring village of Mürren.
