EN: The bakery Arnold is located on the southeastern edge of Simplon Dorf. In addition to the bakehouse and the salesroom it has also a small tea room with an outdoor seating area.

At a time when bakeries even in larger municipalities are fighting for their survival, the bakery of Simplon Dorf, with fewer than 320 inhabitants in one of the remotest parts of the country, runs really well and even has eight employees. The bakery has been in family ownership for more than 125 years, now in its fifth generation.

The bakery not only supplies the locals with bread and pastries, but also delivers its specialties to delicatessens across the country. Most famous is the Simpilär rye bread, but also the sweet pastries and the homemade ice cream made the bakery to a real tourist attraction. The bakery is regularly discussed in the national media and was already several television stations worth a visit. During the summer season, the bakery is open every day from morning to evening.
