Vacation rentals in Lauterbrunnen

Nestled in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, Lauterbrunnen is a fairytale valley surrounded by dramatic cliffs and dotted with 72 waterfalls. Families can start their adventure at Staubbach Falls, one of Switzerland’s highest free-falling waterfalls, and then stroll through the charming village center. The Trümmelbach Falls, hidden inside a mountain, are accessible via a tunnel lift and are a thrilling spectacle for all ages. For panoramic valley views, take the Wengernalpbahn train up to Wengen, a car-free mountain village perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

Adventurous families should not miss the cable car ride to Mürren, perched on a cliff with awe-inspiring vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. The Allmendhubel Flower Park, with its playground and easy walking trails, is ideal for children. For a unique experience, join the Chocolate Adventure Tour at the Funky Chocolate Club in nearby Interlaken, where kids can craft their own Swiss treats.

For something off the beaten path, seek out the hidden Gimmelwald hamlet, a peaceful mountain village accessible by cable car from Stechelberg. Here, families can visit the local Honesty Shop, an unmanned store where you pay what you wish, and enjoy homemade cheese from the village dairy. End your day with a picnic by the Lütschine River, soaking in the serene alpine beauty that makes Lauterbrunnen unforgettable.
