The area around Grimsel and Susten is packed with history and treasures. The traces left by the traders of yesteryear can still be seen in these mountains. Today, the Kraftwerke Oberhasli AG with its thirteen power plants utilises the power of water and transforms this into electricity for one million people. The symbiosis between nature and technology has left its mark on the landscape and gives people an abundance of renewable energy. The Grimselwelt offers a lot of unique and fantastic things to do, from high-adrenaline mountain activities to relaxing spots by the river, and from gourmet delicacies to hearty farm shops.
