What to expect

These falls drain the glacial melt from the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch, with up to 20,000 liters/second rushing through caverns cut into the mountain. It’s a beautiful sight.

After paying an entrance fee, you ride an elevator up into the cavern. Then you explore by walking on a paved path, up and down lots of stairs to different viewpoints.

⚠️ Safety: The viewpoints have high railings for safety. But everything is wet with the spray from the waterfalls, so it can be tricky to walk. We suggest shoes with good tread and a rain jacket.
