Tiny Lauterbrunnen, with its attractive main street cluttered with Swiss chalet architecture, is friendly and down-to-earth. It’s known largely for the impressive Trümmelbach Falls (admission Sfr10; 9am-5pm Apr-Nov), 4km out of town, where inside the mountain up to 20,000L of water per second corkscrews through a series of ravines and potholes shaped by the swirling waters. A bus from the train station (Sfr3) takes you to the falls.
When it comes to culinary matters, stock up at the Coop near the tourist office, or try the restaurant at the Hotel Oberland (033 855 12 41; Main St; mains from Sfr17). It has a big menu of rösti (fried, grated potatoes), pasta and salads.
