Officially one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland. Our village guides have always lived in the village, know its history and stories.
Simplon Dorf lies at 1,476 m above sea level on the south side of the Simplon Pass and has 350 inhabitants. The building style with the typical stone slab roofs is reminiscent of the Italian neighbourhood. The village centre is classified as a site of national importance in the inventory of sites worthy of protection in Switzerland. Our, mostly retired, village guides accompany you and your group through the old Simplon village, telling you exciting stories about the buildings and personalities; such as Federal Councillor Josef Escher, Kaspar Stockalper, Napoleon Bonaparte and much more.
