Lauterbrunnen nestles in one of the most impressive valleys of the Alps, between gigantic rock walls and high peaks. With its 72 roaring waterfalls as well as secluded valleys, flower-filled alpine pastures and secluded mountain hotels, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is one of Switzerland's most important nature reserves.
"Lauter Brunnen" - the name of the village alone already evokes the singularity of this landscape: the valley of Lauterbrunnen has 72 waterfalls. The most emblematic is the Staubbach waterfall, one of the highest waterfalls in Europe, which flows from a rock wall almost 300 meters high. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who visited the valley in 1779, found inspiration in these roaring waters to compose his famous poem “Gesang der Geister über den Wassern”.
In the heart of the “Schwarzer Mönch” mountain, hidden behind impressive rock walls, the Trümmelbach waterfall offers an equally grandiose natural spectacle. Nearly 20,000 liters of water per second rush along ten waterfalls of glacial origin totaling a height of about 200 meters. You can only attend this show in summer, by taking an elevator in the tunnel.
The village of Lauterbrunnen (795m) is the starting point for the most famous tourist destinations in the Jungfrau region. A rack railway connects Lauterbrunnen to the sunny terrace of Wengen on the eastern flank of the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Kleine Scheidegg, where you change trains to climb the Jungfraujoch.
On the opposite side is Mürren, a holiday resort, accessible from Lauterbrunnen or Stechelberg. Departing from Stechelberg, the cable car takes you to the top of the Schilthorn, at an altitude of 2971m, famous for having served as the setting for the filming of a classic from the James Bond 007 series: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" .
Lauterbrunnen has a population on 31 December 2010 of 2,558. In 2007, 19.2% of the population was made up of foreign nationals. Over the past 10 years, the population has declined at a rate of -14.3%. Most of the population in 2000 spoke German (85.2%), Portuguese being the most frequent (4.9%) and Serbo-Croatian being third (2.0%).
