Lauterbrunnen Valley

A deep glacial valley with sheer rock walls and 72 waterfalls, including the Staubbach Falls, which drop 300 m right beside the village. Further up the valley, the Trümmelbach Falls thunder through glacier-carved corkscrew gorges inside the mountain, reached by a lift.

Above the valley, the car-free villages of Wengen and Mürren look across to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Take the cable car from Mürren up to the Schilthorn, the revolving restaurant famous from a James Bond film. Lauterbrunnen is 20 minutes by train from Interlaken.
