Villas in Lenk

About Lenk

Lenk is a village of just over two thousand people at the southern end of the Simmental, the highest municipality in the valley, and the Wildstrubel is the tallest peak named in its territory. The Simme rises at the Siebenbrunnen, where spring water bubbles out of a limestone wall, and a medicinal spa opened here in 1843; the Lenkerhof hotel still sells spa access to day guests. Our homes sit close to the village, mostly apartments and chalets that sleep four or fewer, and a fair share have a garden. Evenings mean the village restaurants. In both seasons the lifts on the Betelberg and the Metschstand do the heavy lifting, carrying skiers up in winter and walkers in summer.
