No Experience Required

You step off the Mercedes van and the air changes: a raw, wet breath that carries the constant drone of water. At the Rheinfall viewing platforms you feel the cascade before you see it—mist lashing your jacket, spray catching sunlight in a hundred silver threads as 23 meters of water thunder across a 150-meter span. Guides steer you to the best vantage points; Laufen Castle perches above like a patient witness to millennia of Alpine meltwater.
