Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen lies between Interlaken and the Jungfrau Massif in a valley of dramatic beauty. More Swiss Alps is hardly possible.

A stroll through the village against the backdrop of the Staubbach Falls could be the start of your day. You'll find the best photo spot in the car-free postcard village Wengen. Whether you prefer to take the cogwheel railway to Kleine Scheidegg or the cable car to Mürren you decide spontaneously. Up to the Männlichen is worth the ride alone – on the cable car's cabin roof.

72 water fountains gave the village its name «Lauter Brunnen». Its landmark is the Staubbachfall: experience how it cascades 300 meters over the vertical rock face. The Mürrenbachfall, which plunges 750 meters into the depths in five cascades, is a mighty sight. The Trümmelbachfälle also lets you feel the tremendous energy of the water: The glacier water thunders through a labyrinth of rocks inside the mountain.

Connoisseur the peace and views in the two car-free mountain villages that belong to the municipality of Lauterbrunnen. Wengen is on the sunny side and on the route to Grindelwald. From Mürren the cable car takes you up to Schilthorn mit seinem Drehrestaurant Piz Gloria. But before that, take a selfie against the backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Lauterbrunnen is the starting point for the most famous excursion destinations in the Jungfrau Region. Thanks to the well-developed rail network, you can easily get from one mountain highlight to the next. Tip: Take enough time to explore the unique nature around Lauterbrunnen in peace – there is so much to experience.

With the Swiss Travel Pass, the Jungfrau Travel Pass or the Bernese Oberland Pass you have free rides on railways, buses and many cable cars and mountain railways around Lauterbrunnen. Good value accommodation is available in hostels, youth hostels or on the camping site. Hundreds of marked hiking paths with panoramic views and barbecue areas offer you free enjoyment.
