Its capital, while having administrative power was the municipality of [[Zweisimmen]].

From 1 January 2010, the district lost its administrative power while being replaced by the [[Obersimmental-Saanen (administrative district)]], whose administrative centre is Saanen.

Since 2010, it remains therefore a fully recognised district under the law and the Constitution (Art.3 al.2) of the Canton of Berne.

The district has an area of 334&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and consisted of 4 [[Municipalities of the canton of Bern|municipalities]]:
