Why Lauterbrunnen Valley matters
Lauterbrunnen is one of the most striking valleys in the Alps, with sheer rock walls on both sides and waterfalls pouring from the cliffs. The Staubbach Falls is the village's signature. Walks along the valley floor are easy, while cable cars lift you to car-free mountain villages above.
Talking points
- Sheer cliff walls enclose the valley.
- Staubbach Falls drops right by the village.
- Mountain villages above are reached by cable car.
