SWISS TRAVEL PASS FOR LAUTERBRUNNEN
As I mention discounts/free activities with the Swiss Travel Pass a couple of times when I talk about things to do in Lauterbrunnen, I quickly want to introduce the Swiss Travel Pass to you.
If you travel by public transportation (highly recommended), I suggest getting a Swiss Travel Pass because it will reduce your spending in and around Lauterbrunnen.
- The initial price for a Swiss Travel Pass is quite high, but it has many perks and normally pays off. You can choose between several passes (different lengths duration, classes, etc.
- In Lauterbrunnen, you can use the cable car to Grütschalp (more on that later), or the train to Murren and Wengen without any extra costs. This might be a perfect way to save money. You also get a 50% discount for your trip to Schilthorn from Mürren.

- Check out prices for a Swiss Travel Pass here – I normally book my tickets through GetYourGuide because of the great customer service and generous cancelation policy – it is actually much better than if you bought them through the official Swiss Travel Pass Website.

TOP THINGS TO DO IN LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY IN 2024
So, let’s start talking about what to do in Lauterbrunnen before you will find general travel tips later.
STROLL LAUTERRBUNNEN VILLAGE
The beautiful village center of Lauterbrunnen is quite small but absolutely charming and thus worth checking out.
From the Lauterbrunnen train station just get up the main street “Auf den Fuhren“, which is lined up with “many” hotels and restaurants. You´ll see the beautiful traditional chalets we all associate with Switzerland (at least I do) and love so much.
Lauterbrunnen is often considered one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland – mostly (though surely not purely) because of the famous Staubbach Falls.
That is what will catch your eye: the Staubbach Waterfall, the church, and of course, the Swiss Alps in the background.
HOW TO GET THERE: For one of the best views, walk along the main street, and when you see Hotel Schütze, turn left to enjoy a view from this vantage point.
If you walk down then you have more great views of the church and the Staubbach Waterfall. In the summer months (high season), there are plenty of people all around and getting photos without too many other people in it, but in the winter months, it is rather quiet as many people head to the above villages where winter sports are quite big.
- TIP: Lauterbrunnen has a digital photo hotspot trail – you can check it out here and see the most Instagrammable locations in Lauterbrunnen.
ADMIRE STAUBBACH WATERFALL
Staubbach Waterfall, which you have seen from the distance, is just a few minutes from the Lauterbrunnen train station.
The waterfall is probably the most famous attraction in the valley – it drops 297 meters (almost 1,000 feet) from a hanging valley and is one of the highest waterfalls in Switzerland and Europe.
In the summer months, warm winds swirl the waters around, so that the Falls spray in all directions and the waterfall looks like dust. This is where the name comes from – Staub in German means dust.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, probably the greatest and most influential writer in the German language, was so captivated by the thundering rhythm of a 1779 visit to this valley that he composed an iconic poem – “Spirit song over the waters“– in celebration!
WALK BEHIND STAUBBACH WATERFALL
Can you walk behind the Staubbach Waterfall? Yes, you can walk behind the Staubbach Falls. At least in the summer months, you can enjoy some incredible views from behind the main attraction in Lauterbrunnen.
In the warmer months, there is a path (via a tunnel) that will take you very close to the Staubbach Waterfall (more or less you are just behind it). From that vantage point, you also get a great view of the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
It is a steep 10-minute uphill walk but it is worth getting up there. It is one of the easiest hikes in Switzerland – and yet, you get great panoramic views from the “viewing platform”.
Okay, I visited after some very hot and dry days so the waterfall was not impressive. As you can see in the picture below – there was not much water coming down that day, but I still recommend doing it when the path is open.
And if you visit after some rainy days, make sure to dress accordingly – you can get quite wet as the water just pours down.
GET UP GRÜTSCHALP
Then it is time to head to Grütschalp! You might have never heard of this place and are wondering what Grütschalp is, right?!?
The Grütschalp cable car station is just above the train station of Lauterbrunnen and it’s this ridiculously fun-to-say railway station at almost 1,500 meters above sea level. This fancy-schmancy station connects the villages of Lauterbrunnen and Mürren through a cable car/gondola.
Enjoy the ride, and savor those picturesque views for your next envy-inducing Instagram post!
You could hike to Grütschalp, but the hike – apparently – is not a nice one, so I suggest getting up via cable car/gondola.
From the Grütschalp Mountain Station, you have some incredible views of the Swiss Skyline – the panorama is breathtaking! Especially on a clear day, not much can beat the view of the three famous mountains, Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
There is not much else to do at Grütschalp except for soaking in these amazing, amazing views. So you can continue your journey after a quick stop.
The cable cars run several times an hour. So, it does not get more comfortable than this.
- TIP 1: This part of the gondola ride – from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp – is included in your Swiss Travel Pass.
- TIP 2: Try to stand on the side of the Lauterbrunnen Valley (so in the direction of travel stand on the left side) – the views of Lauterbrunnen village are better from that side.
TRAIN RIDE OR HIKE FROM GRÜTSCHALP TO MÜRREN
There are two options to get to Mürren (one of the prettiest mountain villages in the country) from Grütschalp – both are fantastic so whatever you choose will be great.
TRAIN RIDE FROM GRÜTSCHALP TO MÜRREN
- TIP: This train ride from Grütschalp to Murren is also included in the Swiss Travel Pass.
Option 1 includes a short 10-minute train ride from Grütschalp to Mürren.
The Grütschalp train stop is just at the Grütsch cable car station and normally, the (short) train waits and is ready to depart once you step out of the cable car. That is Switzerland. Making public transportation – even in the Alps – easy for us.
Let me tell you: The train ride is scenic! Short but scenic. You can open the window and enjoy the experience. In winter, you can expect some beautiful Swiss winter wonderland and in summer you will see 50 shades of green.
- TIP: Try to sneak a seat on the left side (in the direction of travel) as you have the best views of the Swiss Skyline from there.
- TIP 2: The train ride from Grütschalp to Muerren is included in your Swiss Travel Pass.
HIKE FROM GRÜTSCHALP TO MÜRREN
Option 2 is a beautiful and quite easy hike from Grütschalp to Mürren.
This hike takes about 60-90 minutes and though there is a slight uphill, it is a doable hike for almost people of all ages. The path is wide, the incline not a lot, and the view: Priceless. That is the kind of hike that even I looooved. You get a lot without strenuous exercise!
You can do this hike at any time of the year – also in winter, BUT the path might be closed if the snow gets icy, and thus it is too slippery and dangerous. Then go back to option 1 and enjoy that amazing train ride up to Mürren.
DISCOVER MURREN
Say “Grüzi” to Mürren at 1,638 meters above sea level! Mürren (or Muerren/Murren) so charming your jaw might drop with a stunning view of Lauterbrunnen Valley.
The enchanting car-free utopia, nestled above Lauterbrunnen, is a popular Swiss destination where tourists flock year-round to bask in its fairytale charm. A picturesque Swiss village in the Alps, it’s as if you’re stepping straight into a postcard.
Explore quaint alleyways with traditional wooden chalets – Mürren is the perfect spot for a stroll and awe-inspiring views, but if you’re looking to switch things up on your vacation there are still plenty of activities – which we will talk about later!
In winter, expect one of the best ski resorts in Switzerland. Muerren becomes a frosty wonderland where winter sports enthusiasts flock like there’s no tomorrow! Strap on those snowboards or skis and hit those slopes! !
No matter when you swing by, you’ll discover oodles of charming cafes just waiting for you to savor a scrumptious meal al fresco, all while basking in the jaw-dropping, heart-stopping gorgeousness that surrounds you!
HOW TO GET TO MURREN:
As mentioned above there are two ways to get to Mürren from Grütschalp – via train/gondola or a hike.
- From Lauterbrunnen take the gondola to Grütschalp and then a train to Mürren. If you arrive at Mürren train station (station BLM) you have to walk a few minutes to arrive at the heart of Mürren.
- You can also reach Mürren via gondola from Stechelberg (which is behind Lauterbrunnen).
- Alternatively, you can also hike there (more on those places later).
HEAD UP SCHILTHORN & BIRG
If you use this post as a Lauterbrunnen itinerary, you can then get up higher the mountains – head to Schilthorn Mountain from Mürren.
Why bother to get up all the way to Schilthorn? Let me tell and show you, why you should visit Schilthorn from Lauterbrunnen.
SCHILTHORN
Schilthorn is the highest mountain in the range lying north of the Sefinenfurgge Pass. It is 2,970 meters above sea level and lies above the village of Mürren, from where a cable car leads to its summit.
At the top of Schilthorn, you will find several attractions: The main one is the incredible, incredible view of the Swiss Skyline. Wow, what a breathtaking panorama. This is not the only reason why visiting is one of the most popular things to do in the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
But has Schilthorn not become famous because of a James Bond movie? Yes, that is true. Many people all over the world actually know Schilthorn and Piz Gloria because it was the filming location of the 007 movie “On Her Majesty’s Secret Services“ in 1969.
Some might argue the best thing about Schilthorn is the famous Piz Gloria restaurant. Piz Gloria is a 360°revolving restaurant that rotates around its axis in 45 minutes – offering great views and of course, food and drinks.
Inside the revolving restaurant Piz Gloria, you will find an interactive exhibition that is all about James Bond and the film.
Breakfast/lunch/dinner with a view! Enjoy an exclusive meal with the best seat in town – rotating and offering unbeatable views of gorgeous mountaintops, all within 45 minutes (you can stay longer or shorter though).
The kitchen at Bond’s is always open for your cravings! From energizing snacks to a dazzling array of delicious regional delicacies, you’re sure to conquer any hunger. But if that wasn’t enough – try the exclusive James Bond Brunch (available until 2 pm daily) and experience the famous 007 Burger with both meat or vegetarian options!
Prices are the restaurant not much higher than you would pay in decent restaurants in the valley.
On Schilthorn Ridge, a glittering Walk of Fame awaits Bond fanatics! 15 informative panels commemorate everyone who made ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ possible. Take a closer look to marvel at photos and signatures as well as unique handprints embedded in steel – plus personal messages for what is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
Step into Spy World and get up close with 7 of your favorite Bond moments. Put on your secret agent hat, read through some cool trivia from the movie set, or even take a wild bobsleigh ride that 007 himself would be proud of.
At the top, you will also find a cinema – where you can take a break from the exciting Spy World. Unwind in front of the 12-meter wide, curved screen and watch some classic James Bond scenes along with breathtaking aerial footage of the beautiful mountain world!
- There is no entrance fee for any of the above-mentioned activities at the top (besides dining/drinking at the restaurant)
- TIP: Getting up to Schilthorn from Muerren – with a 50% discount with a Swiss Travel Pass.
HOW TO GET TO SCHILTHORN FROM LAUTERBRUNNEN
First, get to Muerren. Then from Mürren, the gondola will bring you to Birg station first. You can either change gondolas and get to Schilthorn straight away or get out here first. For this itinerary, we start with Schilthorn first.
I have done this mountain excursion twice – once in the summer when it was a bit foggy, and once in winter when I had perfectly clear views. The latter made it an extremely amazing experience and thus, I do believe visiting Schilthorn is a must-see in Lauterbrunnen.
BIRG
On your way to/from Mürren, you get to Birg which stands at 2677 meters above sea level and offers fantastic views of the Swiss Skyline. It is home to the Thrill Walk (which I often just call Cliff Walk). This 200-meter-long walk leads down into the vertical walls of the imposing rock massif.
The Thrill Walk is free – but keep an eye on the time. It closes earlier than the restaurants etc. 30 minutes before the last gondola ride.
There is also a sun terrace, from where your gaze can travel to even higher heights – an observation deck, suspended over a steep and rocky abyss! Its robust steel structure is made with reinforced glass to keep you safe while taking in breathtaking views. Plus its angular design makes sure it fits perfectly into the rugged terrain below.
- TIP: If you have a Swiss Travel Pass you only need to buy a ticket from Mürren to Schilthorn (50% discount). You could buy them on the spot, but you can also buy them online in advance to avoid unnecessary waiting in line.
- Without a Swiss Travel Pass, you need to pay the full price. In this case, I recommend buying this ticket in Lauterbrunnen at the cable car station to Mürren. It also includes the fares from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalpand from Grütschalp to Mürren.
- Check out the prices here for a trip to stunning Schilthorn.
EXTRA TIP: This is also a beautiful spot to watch the sunset.
WALK TO GIMMELWALD
If you have time and enjoy hiking, I recommend doing a quite easy hike from Mürren to Gimmelwald, which is a tiny village at 1,367 meters above sea level., just below Murren.
Gimmelwald is a stunning village offering incredible views of the Swiss Alps and is home to some of the best hiking trails in Switzerland.
From Mürren, it is a lovely 2,7-kilometers (1,7-miles) point-to-point trail with great views. Gimmelwald itself is a cute village with only very few traditional houses and hotels. It is a car-free village and probably the synonym for tranquility.
From there you can hike down to Stechelberg (at 867 meters) – it is also the gondola station for/to Mürren.
TIP: You can also take the big gondola down to Stechelberg and instead of getting down all the way, get out at Gimmelwald stop. This ride is also included in the Swiss Travel Pass.
Then you could take a bus back to Lauterbrunnen or just walk all the way back (about 1-2 hours without any incline(decline).
RIDE DOWN STECHELBERG
Stechelberg is another small village near Lauterbrunnen! Yes, another gorgeous village near Lauterbrunnen. And yes, more gorgeous views of the Swiss Alps.
From Mürren you can either hike down or take the gondola. The gondola ride is scenic and offers different – but again extremely picturesque – panoramas of the area.
You have waterfalls, mountain peaks, glaciers, and Stechelberg in front of you – what a view! Lauterbrunnen Valley is really about the views, right!
HOW TO GET TO THERE: If you get to Stechelberg from Mürren, you just take the gondola. The station for the gondola is not the same as the train station but is located more in the center of Muerren.
If you get there from Lauterbrunnen, you can either do a nice walk (about an hour) or take the Postauto (bus) to get to Stechelberg from Lauterbrunnen.
- The bus and gondola are both included in your Swiss Travel Pass.
EXPLORE WENGEN
If you have more time on your hands, then you should hop onto the train to Wengen. Wengen, which sits at 1,274 meters above sea level (4,180 feet) is another small mountain village (similar to Mürren) that is also car-free and easily accessible via trains.
With the Wengernalpbahn, it is a short train ride from Lauterbrunnen train station and one of the most epic rides you can take. Also, the train station in Wengen is probably one of my favorite stations in the country – what an amazing view you have from there!
Wengen is quite pretty but there is not that much to do and see – except for winter sports enthusiasts or hikers. However, it is still worth a quick trip – just the train ride alone makes it worth it.
TIP: Sit on the right side – and backward – in the direction of travel. Shortly after leaving Lauterbrunnen, you will have some amazing views of the valley.
WALK THE WATER TRAIL WALK
Lauterbrunnen Valley has many hiking trails – some of them are mentioned above. If you want to go on a scenic walk, rather than a hike, then you can choose the route from Stechelberg to Lauterbrunnen or the other way around.
If you come down from Mürren (via Gimmelwald and then Stechelerg or via cable car), then walk along the river “Weiße Lütschine” towards Lauterbrunnen. This walk should take about 1,5-2 hours and does not require a high fitness level.
You can walk along the water for most of the time – what an easy yet scenic walk! And this is all without any real altitude changes.
If you are in Lauterbrunnen and do not plan to get up the mountains, I suggest, walking from Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg and then taking a bus back to Lauterbrunnen.
SEE THE TRÜMMELBACHFÄLLE
- The entrance fee for the Trümmelbachfälle is about 12€ ($13).
As previously mentioned, Lauterbrunnen is the valley of 72 waterfalls. Some of the most impressive are the Trümmelbachfälle or Trümmelbach Falls.
What makes these waterfalls so different from the others? They are a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain and Europe´s largest subterranean waterfalls.
They are the world’s only glacier waterfalls that are accessible underground by lifts, galleries, tunnels, paths, and platforms. They alone carry the meltwater of the glaciers from the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains down to the valley – up to 20,000 liters of water per second – it is not an exaggeration if I say, a visit to Trümmelbachfälle is one of the best things to do in Lauterbrunnen Valley.
The Trümmelbach Waterfalls are located between Stechelberg and Lauterbrunnen and can be reached on foot, by car, or by bus.
- TIP: The waterfalls are only open from about April to the beginning of November. It depends on the weather conditions, so please double-check if you want to visit.
- Ticket prices are CHF 14 for adults.
- Dogs and children younger than 4 years are not allowed inside due to security concerns.
GET UP JUNGFRAUJOCH
Another day trip you can take from Lauterbrunnen is Jungfraujoch. Visiting the “Top of Europe“ is quite an experience and one of the most famous tourist attractions in Switzerland.
Get ready for a breathtaking, thigh-burning adventure at Jungfraujoch, nestled right between the lovebirds Jungfrau and Mönch Mountains! Hovering at a dizzying 3,466 meters (about 11,000 feet) above sea level, this pass isn’t just admired for its views.
It’s here that Europe‘s highest railway station lives – a place so cool, it’s earned the nickname “Top of Europe.” So, what exactly makes Jungfraujoch so awesome?
Well, for one: if you are craving a snowy wonderland in the middle of summer, then pack your bags and head to Jungfraujoch, where the winter vibes never take a vacation! It’s the ultimate snow-lover´s paradise, all year round.
Get ready for a frosty, fabulous adventure at the Top of Europe! This includes attractions like the Ice Palace and or the Alpine Sensation at the top, plus many more gems up there!
There are several ways to visit Jungfraujoch. However, if you are based in Lauterbrunnen, take the train to Wengen and then switch to another train to Kleine Scheidegg. From there you can take the train which will bring you up all the way to Jungfraujoch.
- Check out my post on the Jungfraujoch for more detailed information.
- Swiss Travel Pass holders can take the train to Wengen for free and then get a discount for the ticket up to the Jungfraujoch.
- Tickets to the top are not cheap – I am well aware of that, but if you do want to splurge, then a trip to Jungfraujoch is an amazing day trip. Check out rates here (and make sure to book the right option – with or without a Swiss Travel Pass).

VIA FERRATA FROM MURREN TO GIMMELWALD
Craving a rush of adrenaline? Maybe a bit less expensive activity than paragliding? Explore the exhilarating world of “via Ferrata” adventure options for an unforgettable experience, guaranteed to leave you breathless with excitement! 🧗♂️ One popular one is from Murren to Gimmelwald.
As a climber answering this question is easy, but I actually had to look it up! What is “via Ferrata“? A via Ferrata is a protected climbing route with steel cables, rungs, or ladders, which are fixed to the rock. Especially popular in the Alps.
In German, it is also known as “Klettersteig“. The climbers affix a harness with two leashes to be safe. It is more thrilling and harder than a hike in the mountains and in Lauterbrunnen, via Ferrata is quite big and you can choose from several paths.
In Murren, you will find places where you can rent gear if needed.
16 ENJOY A SCENIC HELICOPTER RIDE
Ever wanted to feel like a high-rolling celeb, soaring through the Lauterbrunnen & Jungfraujoch skies? Oh, so have I! But alas, it comes with a *price*. So, until I can check that Swiss helicopter ride off my bucket list, I’ll just be daydreaming alongside you!
There are several options to go on a helicopter ride from Lauterbrunnen and fly over the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau mountains. The scenery in and around Lauterbrunnen is one of a kind, so enjoying these views from an aerial perspective must be one of the very best things to do in Lauterbrunnen.
