The idyllic village, which the Alemannen founded, was a dreamy farming village until about before and after 1900. The hotels were built around the 1900s and the village experienced a boom with the construction of the valley railway and Wilderswil became a tourist resort. Today the village has approx. 2,600 inhabitants and encourages you to linger with the almost inexhaustible range of leisure activities.
