Lauterbrunnen

A valley of waterfalls.

Why it looks like this

  • Staubbach Falls drops almost straight down the cliff beside the village.
  • Switzerland is completely landlocked, with more than 1,500 lakes and four national languages.

How to actually go

  • Swiss trains and cable cars connect the valley to Wengen and Mürren; no car needed.
  • Pair with Lucerne’s Chapel Bridge for the classic first trip.

Best time: June to September for hiking; December to March for snow.
