Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen is situated in one of the most impressive trough valleys in the Alps, between gigantic rock faces and mountain peaks.

Lauterbrunnen

With its 72 thundering waterfalls, secluded valleys, colourful alpine meadows and lonely mountain inns, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of the biggest nature conservation areas in Switzerland.

Staubbach Falls

The Staubbach Falls located just above Lauterbrunnen drops about 300 metres (1000 ft) from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Lütschine River.
