Lenk

Lenk combines a compact Alpine-village character with an expansive high-valley setting in a way that reflects its position at the upper end of the Simmental. The Simme rises nearby at Siebenbrunnen, where several springs emerge from a rock face before the river continues north through the valley. Meadows, working farms and timber chalets remain part of the settlement’s identity, while Betelberg and the Wildstrubel massif shape the surrounding terrain. The Simmental gave its name to the internationally known Simmental cattle breed, recalling the valley’s long agricultural tradition. Lenk is also a base for skiing and hiking in the local mountains.
