Water plays a huge part in the picturesque Lauterbrunnental valley. This hike, which in fact could also be described as a walk, takes us past the Staubbach waterfall after only a short distance. We then pass the thundering Trümmel Falls before the path takes us across the Weisse Lütschine to Stechelberg once we have passed the Breithorn campsite. The small village is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal or warm up with a hot drink. Lauterbrunnen can be reached again either along the same route or by bus.

Author Tips

While the Staubbach gallery is accessible only in the summer season, the Staubbach waterfall itself can be admired all year round. In winter it often freezes over and, in the evening, is impressively illuminated. The Trümmel Falls, also on the route, are open from April to November, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Equipment

Exposure to the sun’s rays is much stronger in the mountains. So always make sure you pack some sunscreen with a high protection factor, a sun hat, and sunglasses with UV protection.Always take warm clothing and rain gear with you, even in summer and even if you’ve set off in fine weather. ‘Plenty of layers’ is always the recommended option.
