Valley

In Switzerland and western Austria, the valley is the entirety of the country and people in a valley .

In the Bernese Oberland , the term “valley community” specifically refers to the totality of the population of a valley who are able to vote and vote . For example, the Lauterbrunnen valley includes the population of Lauterbrunnen, Wengen , Mürren , Stechelberg , Gimmelwald and Isenfluh who are able to vote and vote . Both the political community meeting and the meeting of the parish of the valley is in their main town instead, in this case in Lauterbrunnen, if the whole valley belongs to the same community.
