Lauterbrunnen Attractions And Things To Do

Descend into one of the most spectacular natural cathedrals on Earth in Lauterbrunnen, the breathtaking valley in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland where 72 thundering waterfalls—most famously the 300-meter Staubbach Falls cascading beside the village and the twin Trümmelbach Falls roaring inside the mountain—plunge from sheer cliffs into a narrow green floor framed by snow-capped giants like the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Ride the historic Wengernalpbahn railway or cable cars to Wengen and Mürren for car-free villages and panoramic views, hike the easy valley trails past the idyllic Lauterbrunnen Valley floor with its peaceful river, or simply stand in awe beneath the Staubbach Falls as the mist creates rainbows in the sunlight—all in a compact, car-free-friendly valley that perfectly balances raw Alpine power, serene beauty, and the warm, precise hospitality of the Bernese Oberland.

Savor creamy raclette dripping over potatoes, rich rösti with local cheese, sweet meringues with double cream, and crisp Swiss white wines amid roaring waterfalls, mist-filled air, and the unmistakable sense of a place where nature sculpted pure magic.

Lauterbrunnen isn’t just a destination—it’s Switzerland’s most dramatic waterfall valley and the living inspiration for Tolkien’s Rivendell—plan your Lauterbrunnen adventure today!
