The Bern/Obwalden region
Zweisimmen is in the Simmental area of the Bernese Oberland. It lies about 1 hour by car due south of Bern. The entire region, and the Simmental in particular, is ideal for a wide range of summer activities including hiking, cycling, horse riding etc.
The area is perfect for walkers and hikers with routes of varying degrees of challenge within easy reach. Many can be combined with charming train journeys, either outwards or return or both. There is an equally extensive range of cycling options with dedicated cycle tracks created specifically for recreational cycling, including many challenging mountain bike trails. A very popular activity is to use the extensive lift system to gain height and then enjoy an exhilarating downhill ride to the valley.
Zweisimmen area
Zweisimmen is a quiet, traditional Swiss village at the heart of the Simmental area and on the edge of Saanenland. It has many amenities including a busy railway station so you don't necessarily need to hire a car. Unlike some other villages which are primarily or exclusively for skiers Zweisimmen is a vibrant community throughout the year. There are tennis courts, a swimming pool and a very sophisticated rope-park within the village.
The village is 15 minutes by car (25 by train) from the town of Gstaad which hosts the highly-regarded Menuhin Music Festival from 17 July to 5 September.
How to get there
