Lauterbrunnen and the Jungfrau region

Staubbach Falls drops nearly 300 metres into the Lauterbrunnen valley. The Jungfraujoch railway tunnels through the Eiger to Europe's highest station, and Interlaken sits between two lakes.

The Jungfraujoch station at 3,454 metres is the highest railway station in Europe.

A wide panorama shows the town of Interlaken nestled in a green valley between two turquoise Alpine lakes, with snow-capped peaks beyond.
