About 10 minutes by bus up the valley from Lauterbrunnen.

Why Go

The falls drain the glaciers of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, carrying up to 20,000 liters a second through the rock. A lift inside the mountain and a series of steps and galleries lead up past each fall.

Tips

  • Bring a waterproof jacket: the spray soaks the galleries.
