Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life
On the southern side of the Simplon pass, the road towards Italy passes Simplon Dorf. Enter this pretty village and leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind.
The architectural style featuring typical stone slab roofs reminds visitors of the proximity to Italy, and the neat village square resembles an Italian piazza. This is where seasonal celebrations take place, plays are performed, polenta is cooked and chestnuts are roasted. Local artisans present their crafts and at Christmas time, the charming Christmas market is held here.
In the winter, a natural ice rink is built for the pleasure of locals and visitors alike. In the summer months, guided tours of the village and the museum are scheduled regularly.
At a short distance from the Hotel Grina you can find:
- Postbus stop
- The renovated children’s playground at the Stalden sports field
- The Vita-Parcour on the way to the Bleiken Chapel
- Attractive via ferrata at Gabi (between Simplon village and Gondo)
- The climbing garden with various difficulties
