R. R. Tolkien himself to create the mythical Rivendell. <strong>Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland is exactly as magical<\/strong> as you remember it from The Lord of the Rings, and perhaps even a touch more so. Steep rock walls tower all around you, and <strong>dozens of waterfalls plunge from incredible heights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In photos it almost looks like a fairy-tale illusion, but trust me, <strong>this Alpine village is absolutely real<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve put together a complete guide so you know what you can&#8217;t miss here and how to avoid the biggest crowds. We&#8217;ll cover <strong>everything from iconic waterfalls to adrenaline-pumping viewpoints<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, this year a <strong>new record-breaking cable car is being completed<\/strong> in the area, but you&#8217;ll also need to factor in one major transport closure.

What&#8217;s more, the gallery behind the main waterfall opens as soon as the winter ice melts, and <strong>the scenery is simply breathtaking<\/strong>. Around the same time the first flowers start appearing in the Alpine meadows, so the whole place looks like a painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head out in July or August, you can be sure that <strong>all the infrastructure and cable cars are up and running<\/strong>. But be prepared for the fact that <strong>the valley faces a huge influx of tourists<\/strong>. In the summer season I recommend getting up very early in the morning so you can enjoy the most beautiful spots in peace. By the afternoon there are usually fairly long queues at the cable cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September and October bring <strong>gorgeous autumn colours and far fewer people<\/strong> to the valley. You do need to check the timetables in advance, though, because <strong>some cable cars undergo autumn maintenance<\/strong>. For example, the Stechelberg\u2013M\u00fcrren section has a closure planned for the second half of October this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In winter the valley turns into a snowy fairy tale and becomes a <strong>great base for the surrounding ski resorts<\/strong>. Keep in mind, however, that <strong>the Tr\u00fcmmelbach waterfall is completely closed in winter<\/strong>. The main Staubbach waterfall, meanwhile, often freezes into an enormous curtain of ice, which is beautiful but means you can&#8217;t get as close. On the plus side, the skiing here is perfect and you can try winter hiking along the groomed trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1005\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Lauterbrunnen\" class=\"wp-image-238132\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-700x440.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-1536x965.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-696x437.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kde-se-ubytovat-v-lauterbrunnenu-cbed84bb-1392x874.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gotta Be Worth It \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lauterbrunnen_Hotels_Where_to_Stay_in_Switzerland\"><\/span>Lauterbrunnen Hotels: Where to Stay in Switzerland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\ud83d\udca1 Tip for accommodation and experiences: We like to look for our accommodation on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?ss=Lauterbrunnen&amp;aid=2397601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Booking.com<\/a>, which usually has the best cancellation terms.

Excellent traditional r\u00f6sti \u2014 golden, pan-fried potato cakes topped with melted cheese \u2014 are served, for example, at the restaurant of Hotel Sch\u00fctzen right in Lauterbrunnen. Most places here open for lunch and then again for dinner, so keep an eye on the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another sure-fire tip for a great lunch with an incredible view is the revolving Piz Gloria restaurant on the Schilthorn. And if you get a craving for something smaller during the day, stop for a hot chocolate or a homemade dessert. The Swiss are masters at making sweet pastries, so you really can&#8217;t go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1064\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48.jpg\" alt=\"12 things to see and do in Lauterbrunnen\" class=\"wp-image-238161\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/12-tipu-co-videt-a-delat-v-lauterbrunnen-29447d48-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gotta Be Worth It \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Best_Things_to_See_and_Do_in_Lauterbrunnen_Switzerland\"><\/span>12 Best Things to See and Do in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the very best this Alpine region has to offer.

Staubbachfall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the absolute landmark of the entire village and quite possibly <strong>the most photographed waterfall in Switzerland<\/strong>. Staubbachfall stands at an impressive 297 metres and proudly holds the title of the country&#8217;s tallest free-falling waterfall. The water plunges down from a sheer rock face and shatters against the rocks so forcefully that <strong>a fine mist of water hangs permanently in the air<\/strong>. From the train station it&#8217;s just a few minutes of easy walking to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting feature is that <strong>you can actually get right behind the falling water<\/strong>. A narrow path leads up from the foot of the cliff, guiding you through a tunnel and up steps to a special viewing gallery. Be sure to bring a raincoat or a waterproof jacket, because <strong>you&#8217;re guaranteed not to stay dry here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This experience is <strong>completely free<\/strong> \u2014 you only pay a voluntary contribution towards path maintenance. You do have to come during the main season, though, because <strong>the gallery is only open from May to October<\/strong>. The waterfall has been an inspiration to many artists and writers over the centuries \u2014 even the famous Goethe wrote a poem about it. The best light for photography here is usually in the morning, when the sun beautifully lights up the whole rock face. In the winter months access is closed for safety reasons due to falling chunks of ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2.jpg\" alt=\"Tr\u00fcmmelbachf\u00e4lle, waterfalls inside the mountain\" class=\"wp-image-238267\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lb-trummelbach2-1392x1856.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: JoachimKohlerBremen \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Trummelbachfalle\"><\/span>2.

It&#8217;s a <strong>system of ten glacial waterfalls<\/strong> hidden deep within the heart of the mountain. These waterfalls drain the mighty glaciers of the giants Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau, and <strong>an incredible twenty thousand litres of water flow through here every second<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reach them, <strong>you don&#8217;t have to climb any rocks<\/strong>. A special tunnel lift takes you inside the mountain, and from there you continue along safely secured walkways and corridors. It&#8217;s a deafening, dark and <strong>utterly fascinating natural phenomenon<\/strong> with no equal in Europe. The sound of the roaring water bouncing off the cave walls is so loud you can&#8217;t even hear yourself speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s an entrance fee, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truemmelbachfaelle.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official website<\/a> lists <strong>admission at 18 CHF for adults (around \u20ac19)<\/strong> and 8 CHF for children. Precisely because of the spray, it&#8217;s quite cold and damp inside, so dress warmly even in the height of summer. Remember that <strong>children under four and dogs are not allowed in for safety reasons<\/strong>. The waterfalls are open from April to the beginning of November, and the whole complex closes in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623.jpg\" alt=\"Valley of 72 waterfalls and the hike to Stechelberg\" class=\"wp-image-238164\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-700x373.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-768x409.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-1536x819.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-696x371.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/udoli-72-vodopadu-a-trek-do-stechelbergu-96f60623-1392x742.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gotta Be Worth It \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Valley_of_72_Waterfalls_and_the_Hike_to_Stechelberg\"><\/span>3.

A beautiful and completely easy trail leads from the train station along the flat valley floor all the way to the neighbouring hamlet of Stechelberg. The whole route is just under eight kilometres, and <strong>the elevation gain is absolutely minimal<\/strong>, so you can even tackle it with a pushchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the roughly two-hour walk <strong>you&#8217;ll pass one waterfall after another<\/strong>. The path takes you past snow-capped peaks, green pastures and traditional wooden chalets. Along the way you&#8217;ll come across several rest stops and benches where you can have a snack. To your right you&#8217;ll see walls towering up that <strong>reach heights of up to four hundred metres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About halfway along the route you can take a detour to the Tr\u00fcmmelbach cave waterfalls, and if you&#8217;re lucky you&#8217;ll even spot cows with traditional bells \u2014 an inseparable part of the Alps. Once you reach your destination in Stechelberg, <strong>you don&#8217;t have to walk the same way back<\/strong>. There&#8217;s a regular yellow PostBus that runs from here and conveniently <strong>takes you back to the centre of Lauterbrunnen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851.jpg\" alt=\"Wengen and the M\u00e4nnlichen viewpoint\" class=\"wp-image-238165\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wengen-a-vyhlidka-mannlichen-2e801851-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Stephan Leuzinger \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Wengen_and_the_Mannlichen_Viewpoint\"><\/span>4. Wengen and the M\u00e4nnlichen Viewpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perched on a sunny terrace right above the valley lies the picturesque village of Wengen. A key piece of information is that <strong>the entire village is completely car-free<\/strong>. From Lauterbrunnen you can only reach it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jungfrau.ch\/en-gb\/wengernalpbahn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wengernalpbahn<\/a> cog railway, whose journey takes about fourteen minutes and <strong>offers gorgeous views into the chasm below you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wengen is the quintessential postcard Swiss village (wooden fa\u00e7ades, geraniums in the windows), but <strong>the biggest draw is the cable car up to the M\u00e4nnlichen summit<\/strong>. Some of its cabins even have an open viewing balcony on the roof, which is an experience in itself. At the top a <strong>wide Alpine panorama<\/strong> and crisp mountain air await.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the upper station, definitely set off on the so-called Royal Walk. It&#8217;s an easy thirty-minute climb to the very summit, where there&#8217;s <strong>a crown-shaped viewing platform<\/strong> built up top. From it you&#8217;ll have the iconic trio of mountains \u2014 Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau \u2014 beautifully laid out in front of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46.jpg\" alt=\"M\u00fcrren and Alpine views\" class=\"wp-image-238166\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/murren-a-alpske-vyhledy-376b2a46-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Ilia Bronskiy \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Murren_and_Its_Alpine_Views\"><\/span>5.

It acts as a <strong>natural balcony above the deep valley<\/strong>, and the views from here are arguably even more dramatic than those from Wengen. Normally you get here by cable car from Lauterbrunnen up to Gr\u00fctschalp and then on a narrow-gauge train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 Tip: This year, though, you really need to watch out for the transport. <strong>From 13 April to 10 July 2026 there&#8217;s a huge closure<\/strong>, and the cable car to Gr\u00fctschalp is completely out of service for a full rebuild. During this period you can reach M\u00fcrren <strong>exclusively via the alternative route from the Stechelberg valley station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M\u00fcrren itself is wonderfully photogenic. You&#8217;ll find classic Swiss chalets decorated with geraniums and <strong>plenty of great restaurants<\/strong>. Accommodation here is admittedly on the pricier side, but waking up high above the clouds with a view of the Jungfrau massif is simply priceless.

Gimmelwald and Its Honesty Shops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head downhill on foot from M\u00fcrren, you&#8217;ll come across the little village of Gimmelwald. Here, they say, <strong>time stopped many decades ago<\/strong>. About a hundred permanent residents live here, and you won&#8217;t find any large hotels or typical supermarkets. The whole place has retained an <strong>incredibly authentic farming atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most interesting thing in Gimmelwald are the so-called honesty shops \u2014 little stores built entirely on trust. Local farmers have fridges set up outside in which they <strong>offer homemade Alpine cheese, fresh eggs or jams<\/strong>. No one is watching over it; you simply take the goods and <strong>drop the money into a wooden cash box that&#8217;s been put out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a wonderful example of the fact that <strong>somewhere in the world decency still works<\/strong>. Stop by the self-service fridge at Esther&#8217;s Guesthouse, for instance, and buy a piece of cheese for a snack. Plus, you know that every franc goes straight to the locals \u2014 and they genuinely need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1776\" height=\"1188\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn.jpg\" alt=\"The revolving Piz Gloria restaurant on the summit of the Schilthorn\" class=\"wp-image-238265\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-700x468.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-696x466.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lauterbrunnen-schilthorn-1392x931.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: BKP \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Schilthorn_and_Piz_Gloria\"><\/span>7. Schilthorn and Piz Gloria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the absolute highlight of any trip to this region. The Schilthorn summit rises to nearly three thousand metres and <strong>was made famous by the legendary Bond film On Her Majesty&#8217;s Secret Service<\/strong>. The revolving Piz Gloria restaurant still operates up here today, completing <strong>a full rotation around its axis in forty-five minutes<\/strong>, giving you views of more than two hundred mountain peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2026 is a year of enormous changes for this mountain. In April of that year the <strong>final section of the new Schilthornbahn project will be officially completed<\/strong>, with the total construction costing 130 million francs. The section between Stechelberg and M\u00fcrren even boasts the title of the <strong>steepest cable car in the world<\/strong>, with a gradient of over 159 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/schilthorn.ch\/en\/Infos\/Timetable__and__Tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official price list<\/a>, the cost of a return ticket from Stechelberg is around <strong>115 CHF (roughly \u20ac120)<\/strong>. The price, however, includes not just the ride itself but also entry to the interactive James Bond museum and <strong>access to the adrenaline-fuelled Thrill Walk (suspended on a sheer rock face at the Birg intermediate station)<\/strong>. The whole trip is packed with fantastic experiences from the first minute to the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565.jpg\" alt=\"Allmendhubel and the Flower Park\" class=\"wp-image-238169\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/allmendhubel-a-flower-park-68a9e565-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Alec Doualetas \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Allmendhubel_and_the_Flower_Park\"><\/span>8.

An old-fashioned funicular runs up here from M\u00fcrren, taking <strong>you up to an altitude of just under two thousand metres<\/strong>. The journey takes only a few minutes, and a return ticket costs a reasonable fourteen francs (it&#8217;s best to check the price on site, as it can vary outside the season).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the top you&#8217;ll find the Flower Park, a children&#8217;s playground that looks as though nature itself designed it. Kids can clamber through giant wooden flowers, swing and slide, while you can sit on the terrace of the panoramic restaurant and <strong>enjoy a coffee with an incredible view of the Eiger massif<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The playground is also where <strong>beautiful themed trails like the Flower Trail begin<\/strong>. On these you&#8217;ll learn lots of interesting facts about the local Alpine flora and see flowers that grow only at these extreme altitudes.

The via ferrata starts in M\u00fcrren and, unusually, leads downhill to Gimmelwald. The whole route is over two kilometres long, and the entire time you&#8217;ll have <strong>a deep three-hundred-metre drop beneath your feet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest highlight of the whole route is the so-called Nepal Bridge. It&#8217;s an <strong>eighty-metre-long rope bridge<\/strong> that sways slightly and beneath which gapes pure emptiness. Crossing it takes genuinely steady nerves, but <strong>the photos from this spot are absolutely unbeatable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access is free (you only pay a voluntary contribution towards cable maintenance), but you must bring the mandatory gear \u2014 a harness, a via ferrata set and a helmet. Don&#8217;t have your own? Any sports shop in M\u00fcrren will rent them out without any trouble. The staff at the rental shops will happily explain all the safety rules to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_BASE_Jumping\"><\/span>10. BASE Jumping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauterbrunnen is known worldwide as the mecca of BASE jumping \u2014 the extreme sport in which <strong>people leap with a parachute from fixed points<\/strong>. Each year fifteen to twenty thousand jumps take place here from the surrounding vertical cliffs. It&#8217;s a fascinating spectacle, but <strong>we have to approach it with great respect<\/strong>, because this sport is extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never try to look for take-off points on the edges of the cliffs \u2014 it&#8217;s an enormous risk. The best and <strong>completely safe spot for watching<\/strong> is right from the valley road heading towards Stechelberg. About twenty minutes&#8217; walk from the village, all you have to do is look up and <strong>you&#8217;ll almost certainly see colourful parachutes drifting down to the ground<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right in the centre of the village there&#8217;s the <strong>Airtime Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, a legendary spot closely linked to the community of jumpers and paragliders. They make absolutely delicious cinnamon rolls and great coffee \u2014 an ideal stop before you set off on another hike. What&#8217;s more, you&#8217;ll often find enthusiastic conversations between flyers from all over the world going on around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b.jpg\" alt=\"The little church with its cemetery\" class=\"wp-image-238172\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kostelik-s-hrbitovem-c6593f8b-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Khye Loh \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_The_Little_Church_and_Cemetery\"><\/span>11. The Little Church and Cemetery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every mountain town has its photogenic church, but the one here plays in a completely different league. The Gothic church dates back to the fourteenth century, and <strong>there&#8217;s a gorgeous view from its well-kept cemetery<\/strong>. From here you&#8217;ll see not only the village itself but, above all, the Staubbach waterfall and the massive rock walls in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re after the best angle for that perfect shot for social media, <strong>head up the main street towards Chalet Pironnet<\/strong>. A little way from it you&#8217;ll find a narrow path by two stone spheres. From this exact spot you&#8217;ll capture in a single frame <strong>the church tower on the left and the falling waterfall on the right<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a favourite spot among photographers, especially in the early evening when the sun lights up the spray. Just bear in mind that the cemetery is still in active use and that quiet is part of the place. Simply sit silently on a bench and soak up the magical mountain atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1201\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a.jpg\" alt=\"Talmuseum Lauterbrunnen\" class=\"wp-image-238173\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/talmuseum-lauterbrunnen-9184814a-1392x1045.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Melike B \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Talmuseum_Lauterbrunnen\"><\/span>12.

The Talmuseum is tucked away in a former sixteenth-century mill and <strong>shows the hard life of the local people in the past<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a small but very engaging exhibition that transports you back to the era before mass tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you&#8217;ll find <strong>historic skis, old climbing equipment<\/strong> and examples of traditional lace-making. On the upper floors you&#8217;ll learn interesting facts about the history of mining in the region and about the first pioneers of alpinism who <strong>conquered the surrounding three-thousanders with primitive gear<\/strong>. These are stories of incredible courage and perseverance from the mountain folk of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission costs six francs, but <strong>if you have a guest card from your accommodation, entry is often completely free<\/strong>. It&#8217;s best to check the opening hours in advance: it&#8217;s usually open only in the afternoons from June to October, and it&#8217;s normally closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. There&#8217;s nothing worse than a wet day and a closed museum \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_Lauterbrunnen\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from Lauterbrunnen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauterbrunnen makes a wonderful starting point for a day trip. The surrounding valleys are each more beautiful than the last. If you don&#8217;t want to bother with train connections, organised tours will save you a lot of planning. There are plenty of options that <strong>can easily be booked online<\/strong>, for example through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=Lauterbrunnen&amp;partner_id=MKZ64IS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">GetYourGuide<\/a>, from where you can even head out to the glaciers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to explore the surroundings on your own, definitely <strong>head to the neighbouring valley and read our article<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/grindelwald-switzerland-things-to-do\/\">Grindelwald: What to See and Do<\/a>. The atmosphere there is a little livelier, and the cable cars take you up to incredible viewpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning a longer road trip, you shouldn&#8217;t miss the <strong>most beautiful mountain in Europe<\/strong>, which we write about in the guide <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/zermatt-switzerland-things-to-do\/\">Zermatt and the Matterhorn: What to See and Do<\/a>.

Here are the answers to the most common questions to help you with your planning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_entry_to_Trummelbachfalle_cost\"><\/span>How much does entry to Tr\u00fcmmelbachf\u00e4lle cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For entry to the glacier waterfall complex, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jungfrau.ch\/en-gb\/lauterbrunnen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to current information<\/a>, adults pay 18 CHF and children aged six to fifteen pay 8 CHF. Children under four years old are not permitted entry for safety reasons. During the winter months, the entire site is closed. You can purchase tickets directly at the entrance to the complex. I recommend having cash ready, as some smaller stands and ticket offices in the valley still prefer to accept coins and notes rather than payment cards.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_get_to_Lauterbrunnen_by_car\"><\/span>Can you get to Lauterbrunnen by car?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, you can drive to the village itself by car on a quality road from Interlaken. However, further towards Wengen and M\u00fcrren, there is a strict car ban. You must leave your vehicle in the huge multi-storey car park at the station, where daily parking costs approximately 18 CHF. The drive itself on the mountain roads is an amazing experience and the car park is perfectly connected directly to the train station. Don&#8217;t forget to check in advance whether your hotel offers discounted parking or assistance with luggage transfer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_Lauterbrunnen_Inspire_Tolkiens_Rivendell\"><\/span>Did Lauterbrunnen Inspire Tolkien&#8217;s Rivendell?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p># Translation<\/p>\n<p>Definitely yes. Young J. R. R. Tolkien walked through this valley in 1911 during his hiking tour. His later drawings of the legendary Rivendell strikingly mirror the steep walls and waterfalls found here. The author himself confirmed this inspiration in his letters. As you walk along the massive rock walls and cascading waterfalls, it will immediately become clear why this epic scenery captivated him so much. It&#8217;s even said among locals that the very name Rivendell loosely refers to this deep valley bounded on both sides.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_an_entrance_fee_to_the_village_of_Lauterbrunnen\"><\/span>Is there an entrance fee to the village of Lauterbrunnen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not applicable. In 2024, there was news in world media that the village was considering charging an entrance fee of five to ten francs, but the proposal ran into Swiss law. Charging for a cantonal road is not legally possible, so you only pay the standard tourist tax at your accommodation. The standard tourist tax is paid directly at reception at your hotel or campsite, and in return you often receive a so-called guest card. This card provides you with various benefits and small discounts on some cable cars or local museums in the valley.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_waterfalls_are_actually_in_the_valley\"><\/span>How many waterfalls are actually in the valley?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Official materials mention 72 waterfalls cascading from the surrounding cliffs. The most famous is undoubtedly Staubbachfall, but the highest is actually M\u00fcrrenbachfall at 417 metres, which you can see from the cable car to M\u00fcrren. However, if you come in late summer or autumn, you&#8217;ll see far fewer of them. The total number and force of the falling water depends heavily on how much water is currently flowing from the glaciers and how quickly the snow is melting high up in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_are_the_waterfalls_at_their_strongest\"><\/span>When are the waterfalls at their strongest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The waterfalls have their highest flow in May and June, when enormous amounts of snow melt in the surrounding mountains. Conversely, in winter many waterfalls freeze or have only a fraction of their spring water volume, and some of them even dry up completely. During hot spring and summer days, the water spray from the largest waterfalls also pleasantly cools the entire valley. It&#8217;s an absolutely perfect natural refreshment that you&#8217;ll definitely appreciate after a long journey or challenging climb.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781265421006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_cable_car_trip_to_Schilthorn_worth_it\"><\/span>Is a cable car trip to Schilthorn worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely yes, especially since in 2026 a completely new and steepest cable car in the world will be completed. A return ticket from Stechelberg costs 115 CHF and the price includes not only fantastic views, but also entrance to the adrenaline-pumping Thrill Walk walkway at the middle station. Once at the top, you can enjoy an iconic lunch or coffee at the famous revolving restaurant Piz Gloria with views of the entire Alps. This entire trip takes at least half a day at a comfortable pace, so it&#8217;s better to set off from the valley early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the magical valley of 72 waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland \u2014 the place that inspired Tolkien&#8217;s Rivendell \u2014 and find out which spots are best avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":238254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"Lauterbrunnen Switzerland: 12 Best Things to See","rank_math_description":"Discover Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland \u2014 the valley of 72 waterfalls that inspired Tolkien.
