Diemtigtal house route "Mittleres Tal"

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

The oldest houses in Diemtigtal date from the 16th century. However, the landscape is mainly shaped by buildings from the second half of the 18th century and the early 19th century. Diemtigtal owes its magnificent stock of 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" show you the impressive houses and their stories.
