Diemtigtal House Route "Hinteres Tal"

The municipality of Diemtigen has succeeded in preserving the valley's settlement character in an exemplary manner through farsighted local planning. It was awarded the Henri-Louis Wakker Prize by the Swiss Heritage Society in 1986.

The oldest houses in the Diemtigtal date from the 16th century. However, the landscape is shaped by buildings from the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. The Diemtigtal owes its magnificent buildings to the collaboration of wealthy farmers and skilled craftsmen, including the famous master carpenter Hans Messerli (1720–1806).

The three house routes "Vorderes Tal", "Mittleres Tal" and "Hinteres Tal" take you to the most impressive houses and their stories.
