The Jungfrau railway is the highest railway in Europe, taking you to Europe's highest-altitude railway station, located at 3,454 meters above sea level. The trip takes you through the Eiger and up to the Jungfraujoch, and offers breathtaking views of glaciers, valleys and mountain peaks. You can enjoy the ice palace and wander through glacial crevasses.
The Trummelbach Falls is the largest subterranean waterfall in Europe. It is a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain. After that, take a cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Murren to get the breathtaking view of Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger.
Public transportation in Lauterbrunnen is very convenient, and most attractions are easily accessible by bus or train. Alternatively, you can rent a car, but it is more expensive and reduces sustainability. If travelling by public transport, consider purchasing a Swiss Pass, as it includes unlimited train, bus and boat rides, as well as free entry to museums.
If you have more time, consider visiting Schilthorn, which offers panoramic views and rotating restaurant. Add an extra day to visit Interlaken, a popular resort town surrounded by mountains.
If you have less time, skip Murren or Trummelbach Falls, and spend more time exploring Lauterbrunnen and its beautiful scenery.
The closest airport to Lauterbrunnen is Bern Airport (BRN), located in Belp. It is about 45 miles away from Lauterbrunnen. Alternatively, Zurich Airport (ZRH), located about 90 miles away, offers more flight options and connections to other destinations within Switzerland and Europe.
