Hiking in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in October
-
Hello, my husband and I will be traveling to Switzerland in a little less than 2 weeks. Switzerland is full of natural beauty and the 72 waterfalls that cover the Lauterbrunnen Valley are one of the main things that attracted us to the gorgeous country.We love being outdoors and would LOVE to be able to hike and see all 72 falls on one day hike.
I have done some searching online and have read that you can travel from Lauterbrunnen to Grutschalp via a steep incline or a tram. Then on to Murren along a gentle forest path, crossing a dozen streams, one of which is the Staubbach whose waters quickly plunge over a cliff and form Staubbach Falls, passing the Winteregg dairy on the right. Then descending to Gimmelwald where we will then head towards Trummelbach Falls, and back onto Lauterbrunnen. Although, we will most likely be doing this in the reverse order, so that we start with a stroll through the beautiful city of Lauterbrunnen.
I have not been able to find this hike/walk on a trail map on anywhere else. Having said that, what I am wondering is if it is even necessary to travel up to Grutschalp then to Murren? Are there falls up there that we would be able to see from the trail? Are all 72 waterfalls accessible?
Does anyone have an suggestions on how to see the most waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen on a day hike?
Thanks so much!
