The Simme River originates from several white-foaming rock clefts – the so-called ‘seven sources’ beneath the Plaine Morte Glacier on the Rezlialp. United with water from the Wildhorn massif, which plummets down 100 m over the impressive Iffigen falls, the young Simme is born. A circular walk leads past the Iffigen falls to the «seven sources» and to the Simmen falls.
