Lauterbrunnen Valley: Winter Walk Above the Valley of 72 Waterfalls

About this tour

Join us on a winter adventure through one of the most picturesque valleys in the Swiss Alps. Starting in Interlaken, we drive in our comfortable 9-seater van to Lauterbrunnen, the “Valley of 72 Waterfalls.” From here, a scenic gondola takes us up to Grütschalp, where breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch and the Jungfraujoch await.

From Grütschalp, we begin an easy winter walk to Mürren through a well-maintained panoramic trail. The route takes around 1–1.5 hours at a relaxed pace, winding through snowy forests and open meadows with continuous views of the towering peaks above.

Arriving in Mürren, we take time to stroll through this charming, car-free mountain village and soak up the peaceful alpine atmosphere. The adventure continues with the steepest gondola, dropping from Mürren to Stechelberg — a thrilling ride with stunning views of vertical cliffs and frozen waterfalls. From there, we return to Lauterbrunnen to visit the iconic Staubbach Falls, cascading nearly 300 meters from the cliffs above the village, before making our way back to Interlaken.
