Only half an hour's drive from Brig, a world full of character, tradition and impressive nature opens up here. The charming mountain village with its typical stone slab roofs looks back on a turbulent past. Over the centuries, the Simplon Pass shaped the lives of the inhabitants - as an important trade route between Brig and Domodossola. The famous Kaspar von Stockalper, one of the most influential Valaisian merchants, used the route, just like Napoleon later, who realized his legendary Alpine crossing here. The historic village center with its carefully preserved buildings is listed in the inventory of protected village images in Switzerland - a true testimony to alpine architecture and cultural continuity. Surrounded by blooming meadows, species-rich flora and a diverse fauna, the Simplon area presents itself as a well-maintained, intact agricultural area. Agriculture still forms an important basis for the community's livelihood and shapes the authentic character of the village. Those who hike through nature here feel the peace, the vastness and the scent of the Alps - a place where tradition and naturalness are in harmony.
