A chill wind lifts at the Birg ridge and, for a heartbeat, the valley seems to hold its breath. You step into a harness, the pilot runs a final check, and the world below unrolls: vertical rock faces, the silver threads of waterfalls, and the three great crowns of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau pointing into a stainless sky.

History
Lauterbrunnen’s steep cliffs and waterfalls were sculpted by glaciers; the valley has long been a seasonal pastureland and later a 19th-century tourist destination accessed by cableways.
Conservation
The high-alpine environment is sensitive—stay on marked paths, minimize noise near nesting areas, and avoid littering; pilots follow strict landing zones to protect meadows.
