Surrounded by several mountain passes, such as the Susten Pass and the Grimsel Pass, Meiringen has prospered as a trading center since ancient times. Today, it is a bustling place to stay as a base for visiting the scenic passes, waterfalls that collect melting snow, and Alpine villages with their meadows.
