Lauterbrunnen

Lauterbrunnen sits at the base of a sheer-walled glacial valley in the Bernese Oberland, flanked by cliffs from which 72 waterfalls descend. The valley floor remains in shadow for much of the day, creating dramatic contrast between the sunlit walls and the dark meadows below. Staubbach Falls plunges 297 metres directly behind the village, one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Europe.
