Lauterbrunnen Valley

Nestled between 1000 meter sheer cliffs sits Lauterbrunnen Valley, said to be the world's deepest valley. Lauterbrunnen is also said to be the most beautiful valley in Europe. Seventy two waterfalls descend down into this fertile valley creating some of the most stunning views. Most popular among them is Staubbach Falls which descends 800 to 900 feet making it one of the tallest unbroken single falls in Europe. To the west of Lauterbrunnen is Murren, a transfer point for a spectacular cable car ride up to Schiltorn Peak. To the east of Lauterbrunnen villlage is Wengen, a beautiful car-free village and train stop up to the Kleine Scheidegg mountain pass towards the Jungfraujoch, the most memorable mountain scenery in Switzerland.

To get to Lauterbrunnen village, you can take a train from Interlachen. You can also get to Murren and Wengen from Lauterbrunnen village via train, cable car, or a combination of both.
