Grimselwelt

Your children can have their holidays for free in June and October at the Hotel and Naturresort Handeck (children under 16 years of age in their parent's room).

The Grimselwelt is a world of hydropower, waterfalls, alpine lakes and storage dams. It is Switzerland's water catchment area. Find out more about this fascinating area with a guided power plant tour, a ride on the thrilling Gelmer funicular and enjoy a delicious 3-course meal in the historic Grimsel Hospiz.

Every Sunday from 7 July in the Grimsel Hospiz: generous Sunday breakfast buffet with hot, cold and sweet regional dishes. Tea, coffee, juices and a glass of bubbly is included in the price.

Hydroelectricity explained in an interactive and exciting way. How is electricity produced? Why storage dams? How does electricity get into the sockets? The answers to these and more questions will be explained in Handeck 3 power plant.

Everyone, big and small, feels at home at the Hotel Handeck because there is lots to see and do: a big childrens’ playground behind the hotel, the steepest funicular in Europa, a well maintained network of hiking trails, barbeque areas, crystal caverns and an alpine dairy.
