Flowing down 14 impressive cascades towards the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz, Giessbachfälle is one of the most beautiful waterfall experiences in Switzerland.

The highlight is the path that takes you directly behind one of the waterfalls, allowing you to feel the power of the water up close while enjoying spectacular views over the lake. Just above the falls sits the historic Grandhotel Giessbach, adding even more charm to the setting.
