Things to Do in Lauterbrunnen
Plan your days in Lauterbrunnen, your way
Give this valley three days and it gives you a little of everything. Day one: the valley floor walk past Staubbach Falls, a stop inside the mountain at Trümmelbach, and fondue at a cozy village table. Day two: ride up to Mürren, wander its car-free lanes, and take the panorama path with the big three peaks filling the sky. Save time for a bakery stop, a farm-fridge cheese purchase, and a long look at nothing in particular. Day three: pick your own ending — a waterfall gorge, a lazy terrace lunch, or one more cable car just to see. Nothing here is extreme, and nothing is ordinary either.
