The Lauterbrunnen Valley is the valley of 72(!) waterfalls. Water is everywhere you go in the Jungfrau Region – and not just in the form of waterfalls. You’ll see it in lakes, outdoor pools, streams and rivers. Water also carves its way through deep gorges here. You can even see the magic of water in its frozen form.
WATERFALLS
From the greatest heights to deep underground
The Staubbach Waterfall is the key landmark of Lauterbrunnen and the highest free-falling waterfall in Switzerland. The Trümmelbach Waterfalls are the largest underground waterfalls in Europe. And at the Reichenbach Waterfall, you can follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes.
GORGES
One region, four gorges
Gorges are formed when water carves a path through the rock over tens of thousands of years. The results are spectacular. Always worth a visit.
MOUNTAIN LAKES
From the Bachalpsee to the Engstlensee
Mountain lakes are always a popular destination for hikes. They are wonderful places to stop for a break and something to eat from your packed lunch. You might like to walk around them, take a quick dip, or “just” take photos. The Jungfrau Region has so many beautiful mountain lakes to marvel at.
GLACIERS
The largest ice flow in the Alps
The Great Aletsch Glacier is almost 20 kilometres long, making it the largest ice flow in the Alps. It’s just one of the Jungfrau Region’s many glaciers.
OUTDOOR POOLS
Leap into icy depths – in the middle of the village
Feel like just relaxing in the sun and doing nothing? Feel the need to refresh yourself after working up a sweat on a hike? Looking for a spot to get your daily swim in? The Jungfrau Region has four outdoor swimming pools where you can do any or all of these things.
