Gimmelwald
Switzerland
In the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland, The tiny car-free mountain village in the Lauterbrunnen Valley is only accessible by cable car and is considered one of the last authentic Swiss mountain villages. Rick Steves called it 'my favorite place in the world' — there is no shop, no hotel, just breathtaking silence.
