More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool mist threads the Lauterbrunnen Valley as waterfalls push themselves over sheer limestone walls, daring you to step closer. The day opens in the village, camera shutters clicking as guides shepherd you through narrow streets, then downriver paths that frame Staubbach and other cascade backdrops.
