The Diemtigtal Nature Park is the only one of four nature parks that is located entirely in the canton of Bern – Gantrisch, Chasseral, and Doubs, however, are cross-cantonal nature parks. The promotion of regional nature parks is an important instrument for the sustainable development of rural regions and mountain areas. A wonderful insight into the largely intact and attractive landscape of the Diemtigtal Nature Park is offered by the beautiful circular hike at the end of the valley.

 

From the bus stop or the large parking lot at Hotel Spillgerten, follow the signs towards Grimmifurggi. Along part of the way, you will be accompanied by the play posts of the themed trail about the dwarf Grimmimutz. At the crossroads P.1409, we leave the Grimmimutz – while the themed trail turns left, we go straight on and hike along the alp road up to the beautifully situated Alp Grimmi.

On Alp Grimmi, a rest on the lovely sun terrace is very tempting. The trail then gently continues upwards on the mountain hiking path to the crossroads behind the hill at point 1844. Here we leave the hiking trail to Grimmifurggi and turn left, following the sign towards Uelis Grimmi. On a nearly level high-altitude trail, you hike with great views in a large left curve through the beautiful Grimmi high moor. Among other plants, many white helleborines grow here, a beautiful but also highly poisonous plant.

At P.1808, we pass the alp hut Uelis Grimmi and soon reach the crossroads P.1776. Here, we turn left. About 20 minutes later we reach an alp road on which we hike – passing the ski and holiday house Nidegg – back to the starting point at the Eggli and Spillgerten restaurants.
