Simmenfälle

The Simmenfälle waterfall descends 40 meters through multiple cascades, creating a powerful water display in the Bernese Oberland region.

The waterfall system connects to the Simmenquelle, where water flows from the Rezligletscher glacier at 2,700 meters altitude through underground channels.

Local Swiss communities have developed a network of maintained trails around the falls, allowing visitors to experience different vantage points.

Visitors can access the falls by driving to Oberried from Lenk, then walking a short distance from the nearby restaurant parking area.

The waterfall forms part of a complex system including the Siebenbrunnen, where seven distinct springs emerge directly from the mountain face.
