Swiss Grimentz Small Town Travel Part 2: Exploring the Town

Continuing from the previous part, this time I’ll be writing about traveling within the town of Grimentz. As you can see from the photos, it’s a very charming and beautiful town, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Since the journey to get here was long and tiring, I decided to keep it simple and just take a walk around the town. After arriving at the accommodation, I unpacked and had a light lunch at the hotel restaurant. For reference, both the Bulle area and the Grimentz area are small towns, so most accommodations operate as hotel restaurants, combining lodging and dining services. Additionally, the sunrise is around 5:30 AM, and the sunset is around 9:30 PM, meaning the days are very long! This makes it great because you don’t have to rush through your travels. When I went out for a walk, the air was incredibly fresh, likely thanks to the surrounding mountains. There was the scent of grass, wooden chalets, and the aroma of timber from the wooden buildings, which made the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. At an altitude of 1,600 meters, the surrounding mountains are truly breathtaking! Strolling through the town, I found many paths to explore, making it delightful to wander around and discover the area. Highly recommended! And above all, the night view is stunning. I initially thought it might be too dark since it’s such a small town, but there are plenty of streetlights, making nighttime walks comfortable and enjoyable. If you go out after sunset, you can see the starry night sky as shown in the photos! Night walks are a must! Switzerland generally has excellent public safety, so I don’t think there’s any need to worry. 😊 After finishing the small-town tour with a walk, the next plan is a gondola ride and hiking.
