Good to know
Good to know in the Simmental
In the Simmental our cleaners live between Lenk and the valley entrance at Wimmis. Many houses are timber buildings with panelling, wooden floors and tiled stoves that need suitable care. Besides holiday properties there are many primary homes of families, so move-out and maintenance cleaning are as common as guest changeovers.
In winter we plan jobs so that snowy access roads can be reached safely.
In the Simmental guests change mainly around the ski areas of Lenk and Zweisimmen in winter, with hikers and families added in summer. Many flats are let from Saturday to Saturday; in the off-season we schedule deep and window cleaning.
