“Awesome day with a great ranger”
Mels
Mels is located in Sarganserland in the Seez valley and therefore belongs to Heidiland. The Weisstannental is as well as the mountain Pizol part of the municipal area of Mels. The Weisstannental is very quiet and has many waterfalls. Since there is no through traffic, chamois, bearded vultures and ibexes also feel at home here. The mountain Pizol rises between the Tamina valley, the Weisstannental and the Calfeisen valley. Mels as a village has a beautiful old village center with many shopping and gastronomic facilities. It shows especially many old chapels and churches. There are also many information boards about the historical development of the village, a castle ruin, a small castle and a prehistoric-medieval hilltop settlement. The scenic surroundings are a paradise for hiking lovers. A beautiful mountain scenery, many rivers and streams and abundant old church buildings characterize the landscape.

“Claudia was very knowledgeable and answered all questions.”
“A trip worth taking! The short hike was easy and pleasant. Marc is very friendly and explained to us how to handle the animals really well. We had a lot of fun and definitely want to come back!”
“On our innkeeper’s recommendation, we booked the 07:40 cable car from Mürren to the Schilthorn, as well as an 08:00 brunch reservation at Piz Gloria. The views were breathtaking, and the brunch buffet offered plenty of choice. We had 90 minutes at our table, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the changing scenery from the revolving restaurant. We also explored the other viewing areas and enjoyed the James Bond film memorabilia. Our next stop was Birg, where we took in the Skyline View and watched the more adventurous visitors tackle the Thrill Walk. Our final stop was Mürren, before we walked back to Gimmelwald. It was a great alternative and less expensive than the Jungfrau experience.”
