The story of the Lauterbrunnen Valley

Lauterbrunnen lies in a U-shaped valley carved by glaciers, with cliffs rising hundreds of metres on both sides. Around 72 waterfalls pour from its walls.

Staubbach Falls drops nearly 300 metres beside the village. Trümmelbach Falls thunder through tunnels inside the mountain, carrying meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau glaciers.
