General information about Bellwald

The village of Bellwald forms a typical slope community high above the Goms and the Fieschertal with the hamlets Ried, Egga, Bodmen, and Fürgangen. The Alemannic immigrants who arrived in the 8th and 9th centuries settled in individual farms, from which small hamlet and village settlements emerged as the clan grew. Until after the Second World War, the population lived almost exclusively from mountain farming with livestock and arable farming.

Typical for the village of Bellwald are the so-called Speicher. They served as storage for supplies, valuables, and clothes in the past, as there was less fire hazard here than in the residential house. Like the Stadel, the Speicher stands on wooden pillars covered with rounded stone slabs.

The construction of the road in 1971 triggered a tourist development in Bellwald. Without tourism, Bellwald would likely have suffered the same fate as many other mountain villages in the Alpine region, namely emigration. In the tertiary economic sector, tourist development has only had a modest impact to this day.
