Lauterbrunnen is one of the most beautiful valleys in Switzerland, famous for its dramatic cliffs and 72 waterfalls. The most iconic of them, Staubbach Falls, can be reached within minutes from the village center.
The valley is perfect for a scenic walk between Lauterbrunnen and Stechelberg, passing waterfalls, traditional Swiss chalets and breathtaking mountain scenery. It’s also an excellent base for exploring nearby highlights such as Mürren, Wengen and the Jungfrau region.
💡 Sandra’s Tip
Don’t just stop for a photo. Walk through the valley towards Stechelberg to fully experience the waterfalls and spectacular scenery.
