General information about Bellwald
The village of Bellwald, with the hamlets of Ried, Egga, Bodmen and Fürgangen, forms a typical hillside community high above the Goms and Fieschertal valleys. The Alemanni, who immigrated in the 8th and 9th centuries, settled in individual farmsteads, from which small hamlets and villages gradually emerged as the clans grew. Until after the Second World War, the population lived almost exclusively from mountain farming with livestock farming and arable farming.
Typical of the townscape of Bellwald are the so-called storage buildings. They were formerly used to store supplies, valuables and clothes, because there was a lower risk of fire here than in the dwelling house. Like the barn, the storage building also stands on wooden supports, which are covered with rounded stone slabs.
The construction of the road in 1971 triggered a tourist development in Bellwald. Without tourism, Bellwald, like so many other mountain villages in the Alpine region, would probably have suffered the fate of depopulation. In the tertiary economic sector, tourist development has had only a modest effect to date.
