Simmental is an alpine valley in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland. It expands from Lenk to Boltigen, in a more or less south-north direction ( Obersimmental), and from there to the valley exit at Wimmis near Spiez it takes a west-east orientation ( Niedersimmental). It comprises the municipalities of Lenk, St. Stephan, Zweisimmen, Boltigen, Oberwil, Därstetten, Erlenbach, Diemtigen and Wimmis. The Simme flows through the valley.
Some villages play a role in the winter tourism of the region of Bern, such as Lenk or Zweisimmen. From Zweisimmen the resorts of Gstaad and Château-d'Œx can be reached.
Further up is the Jaunpass, which is crossed to go from Bulle to Freiburg, as well as the Hahnenmoos, which links Lenk with Adelboden.

Usage examples of "simmental".
But the big difference will be that the Simmental has never been bred to look good in hotel lobbies.
We take female rabbits ready to conceive and place in their uterus the inseminated Simmental ova, which grow there just as well as they would in the uterus of a cow.
Each rabbit is impregnated with two ova, and they go into the mother cow, so that time after time what you get is not one Simmental but twins.
