Switzerland
Lauterbrunnen Valley
Lauterbrunnen's sheer valley walls channel dozens of waterfalls, with Staubbach falling beside the village church and meadows.
Walk south from the station for the church and Staubbach Falls together, then continue along the valley toward Trümmelbach. The Staubbach rock gallery opens only in summer because of ice and rockfall; expect spray on the climb. Snowmelt strengthens the falls, while dry late summers can reduce them to a thread; higher Wengen and Mürren offer views down into the valley.
