Simplon

The municipality of Simplon consists of several villages. Simplon village is located on the south side of the Simplon pass at 1476 m above sea level. The village has an authentic village center, which reminds with its buildings of Italy. Simplon is even classified as a place of national importance. The Simplon Pass leads through the narrow Gondo Gorge and was already used in the Stone Age. Today, some sections of the Gondo Gorge are lined with granite walls. Along the pass a unique view awaits the visitors. Here the Valais Alps merge with the Italian surroundings. Simplon and its surroundings is a true paradise for biking, hiking and skiing enthusiasts. Snowkiters will find ideal conditions at the pass.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
