A hush settles over the Lauterbrunnen Valley as your ride slips from Interlaken toward a rim of cliffs and waterfalls. Snow softens the noise of the valley; spray from Staubbach and Trümmelbach dares you to step closer. The cable car hums upward, and Mürren—car-free and compact—unfurls across a shoulder of the Alps with the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau lined like watchful summits.
