Staubbach Waterfall – the dancing water of Lauterbrunnen

Like a silver veil, the Staubbach Waterfall plunge 297 metres into the depths – and transform into a sparkling play of mist and rainbows in the sunlight. No wonder it inspired Goethe. The view is particularly magical in the morning, when the first rays of sunshine illuminate the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

Arrival: 5 minutes walk from Lauterbrunnen railway station
Ticket: Not necessary (only train to Lauterbrunnen)

Ticket: mountain trip to Männlichen required

Triftbrücke – Adventure between sky and glacier

The 170-metre-long Trift Bridge near Gadmen is one of the most spectacular suspension bridges in the Alps. Swinging high above turquoise-blue glacier water, it offers a unique view between rock, sky and ice. The route there is just as impressive as the destination itself.

Arrival: From Gadmen with the Triftbahn cable car, then around 1.5–2 hours hike
Ticket: Mountain trip required
