Trümmelbach Falls
Trümmelbachfälle
Ten-tier glacial waterfalls hidden inside a mountain, where up to 20,000 liters of meltwater per second roar through rock caverns. You visit by elevator through tunnels.
The Trümmelbach Falls are located about 3 km inside the Lauterbrunnen valley and are the only glacial waterfalls in Europe that can be explored from inside a mountain. Glacial meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau cuts through the rock in spiral gorges and drops through ten tiers, with a peak flow of about 20,000 liters per second. Visitors first take a tunnel elevator up the mountain, then descend along walkways and steps inside. The caves are wet, cold, and slippery, so bring a jacket and wear shoes with good grip. Adult admission is about CHF 16. The falls close in winter, and children under four should not visit. Getting there: take the bus from Lauterbrunnen station toward Stechelberg for about 5 minutes, or walk along the valley floor for about 40 minutes.
