    Hi,

    The Swiss Timetable you can find here: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable.

    What are your plans in he very small village of Gimmelwald ? When you travell by train to see the Berner Oberland, it is better to stay in a other village.

    Hi Girishmk,

    You might be better off based in Mürren for those activities. Gimmelwald is very small and hardly offers any facilities. Mürren does. But of course it’s a personal choice!
