Yodelling experience GrimmiJutz in Diemtigtal

The themed trail is all about the new Grimmimutz adventure: The evil pepper witch pronounces a curse and turns the Grimmialp into a gloomy place. The Grimmimutz receives help from an elf who gives him a special gift, yodelling. From then on, the Grimmimutz climbs up to the alp every day to sing his Jutz. With his voice, he dispels the negative energy, makes the birds chirp happily and, with more and more people doing the same, succeeds in bringing the sun back to the Grimmialp.

Nine posts, a yodelling song by Miss Helvetia and the accompanying app

Everyone is invited to learn the GrimmiJutz and help bring colour to the valley. Along the way you will solve puzzles, learn about the specialities of the Diemtigtal and learn how to yodel from the famous Diemtigtaler Miss Helvetia. The "Diemtigtal" app guides you from post to post along the mountain hiking trail down into the valley. The "Diemtigtal" app can be downloaded from the Android Play Store and the Apple App Store. It is in dialect / German and is free of charge. It's best to download the app to your smartphone at home and travel with a full mobile phone battery.

Trail description

The new yodelling experience GrimmiJutz is perfect for an outing for the whole family. The mountain trail is suitable for children from the age of five, but we recommend hiking boots (pushchairs are unsuitable).

The trail starts at the top station of the Grimmialp mountain railway, which can be easily reached by chairlift. Wooden signposts mark the six-kilometre mountain hiking trail from the mountain station to the valley station. The pure walking time is about two hours. Depending on how much fun you have yodelling, your excursion can last several hours.
