General presentation
Lauterbrunnen, Mürren and the Schilthorn
Valley with waterfalls, villages perched without cars and high mountain viewpoints towards the Schilthorn.
The discovery of Lauterbrunnen, Mürren and Schilthorn revolves around Lauterbrunnen Valley, Staubbachfall and Mürren. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, natural spaces and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: strong and expensive cable cars. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Lauterbrunnen Valley
The Lauterbrunnen Valley gives a clear visual intensity from the entrance: walls, distant waterfalls, villages suspended between the tops. It is a place that is better understood by moving slowly, with breaks on different axes to grasp the changes of scale.
Place
Staubbachfall
The Staubbach waterfall is revealed by the dialogue between waterfalls, rocks and relative silence around. The fairest experience is to observe the area from several points, then to return lower when the light changes the depth.
Place
Mürren
Mürren hangs on a terrace above Lauterbrunnen, facing the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau. The village, accessible without classic car traffic, mixes chalets, mountain hotels and trail departures; the views from the edges are among the most frank of the Bernese Oberland.
Place
Schilthorn
The Schilthorn is seen as a scale climb where the view accompanies each landing. The best sequences arise from a patient approach: to move from an exposed space to a protected angle to read the Alpine geometry accurately.
