Lauterbrunnen in Winter

Drone shot of the village of Lauterbrunnen in winter with church and dustfall.

Lauterbrunnen unfolds its very own magic in winter. When the cold season envelops the snow-covered peaks of the Jungfrau Region, the idyllic valley is transformed into a true winter wonderland. The majestic waterfalls for which the Lauterbrunnen Valley is known freeze under a glistening layer of ice, while the traditional chalets and nearby alpine villages are covered in snow as if they had stepped out of a fairytale book.

Whether for a leisurely walk, extensive winter hikes, snowshoe tours or skiing. A visit to the region in and around Lauterbrunnen is also worthwhile in winter.

Walks in and around the village

A tour through the idyllic village with its famous church and the Staubbachfall Waterfall, the landmark of Lauterbrunnen. Or marvel at the snow-covered landscape and numerous other icy waterfalls along the White Lütschine River. Yes, Lauterbrunnen has a very special character in winter. Discover the valley of 72 waterfalls on a leisurely walk or a short winter hike.

Hiking and sledging on Sulwald

Do you want to be a little more active? Then of course you can also head up high. Take the PostBus or walk to Isenfluh and from there take a small aerial cableway to Sulwald. An idyllic place and the perfect starting point for snowshoe tours, winter hikes or a sleigh ride. Always with a view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau triumvirate.

Skiing in Wengen or Mürren

Lauterbrunnen is also the perfect starting point for skiing or snowboarding. In just a few minutes you can reach Wengen by train or Grütschalp by aerial cableway - and thus two large ski areas in the Jungfrau Region. You can conquer the steepest piste between Schilthorn and Birg or the notorious Lauberhorn descent. Discover the Grindelwald-Wengen and Mürren-Schilthorn ski areas now.

Back from a walk, hike, sledging or skiing, you can warm up in one of the cosy restaurants and cafés in the village - and indulge in culinary delights.
