Trümmelbach Falls

The Trümmelbach Falls in Switzerland are a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain made accessible by a tunnel-funicular, built 1913, stairs, and illumination. Trümmelbach alone drains the enormous glacial walls of the Eiger (3970m), Mönch (4099m) and Jungfrau (4158m) with up to a spectacular 20,000 liters of water per second. The Trümmelbach Falls were opened up in 1877. The acoustically and visually imposing Trümmelbach Falls have always been a source of fascination for writers and other artists.

The hiking tour on mainly flat land leads from Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg, past water gushing from vertical rock faces that are several hundred meters high. After such a memorable experience, take in the superb sight from the viewing terrace over a tasty, home-made speciality from the self-service restaurant.

Personal tip
“The 10 thundering, roaring waterfalls are spectacular. I went to the impressive chasm on a hot summer’s day, so exploring around the interior was a great way to cool down. The foaming glacial waters were mesmerizing.”
