Can you get to Gimmelwald by car?

Thanks,

No

The nearest you can get is Lauterbrunnen, at the bottom of the valley. Then you need to take either a funicular and then a train to Mürren and then Gimmelwald, or cablecar.
The whole attraction of these places is that they are car-free.

@Chris,

"Then you need to take either a funicular and then a train to Mürren"

Could you clarify? AFAIK, the Funicular from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp was removed several years ago, and replaced by a Cable Car.

@jeg,

As the others have said, you can NOT drive to Gimmelwald (you'll see why when you get there). The easiest solution is to use the car park at Stechelberg and take the Cable Car from there (Gimmelwald is the first stop). I don't know the cost of parking, but I believe there is a charge.
