Staubbach Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The Staubbachfall is really extraordinary. From some perspectives, one feels directly reminded of the "Lord of the Rings" in the Lauterbrunnen Valley - it seems not unlikely that Mr. Tolkien got some inspiration from a hiking holiday in Switzerland at a young age, just as one probably did for Peter Jackson may accept.

August 7, 2022,Lauterbrunnen – Staubbachfälle Runde von Lauterbrunnen

When there are mountains in the clouds, the valley remains... Beautiful hike / walk from Lauterbrunnen past the Staubbach Falls and Spissbach Falls to the Trümmelbach Falls. These are an absolute highlight and a recommendation if you are in the area. The way back was partly the same way, later along the Weißen Lütschine back to the train station.

Completely overrated in my opinion. Switzerland has much, much more beautiful corners to offer.

The Staubbachfall is not accessible due to falling rocks. Also, many restaurants are only open from 5 p.m.

May 19, 2023,Staubbachfälle - Runde von Lauterbrunnen 🇨🇭

After the Trümmelbach Falls (absolutely recommended by the way 😅) there was still so much left from the (unfortunately dreary) day, so we used the parking lot as a starting point for a very chilled tour towards the Staubbach Falls...
As the highest free-falling waterfall and with a drop of almost 300 meters the third highest waterfall in Switzerland, it …

August 28, 2025,🇨🇭 Berner Oberland: Lauterbrunnental - Staubbachfall - Trümmelbachwasserfälle

This afternoon we start our bad-weather program number 2, and the weather isn't all that bad. Although it has stopped raining, the mountains are covered in clouds. Our destination is the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
The name Lauterbrunnen refers to the clear (lauter) springs and streams (fountains). Because of its many waterfalls, the Lauterbrunnen Valley is also called the Valley of 72 …

August 7, 2024,🇨🇭Schweiz - Tag 4 im Reich der Gletscher - 🏞️Lauterbrunnental, das Tal der 72 Wasserfälle - Staubbachfall - Trümmelbachfälle 07.08.2024

Today's theme was water, because we went to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, known as the Valley of 72 Waterfalls, and the goal there was to visit the Trümmelbach Falls. I also ordered rain for us, so no one should say "we could only have good weather". The hike through the idyllic Lauterbrunnen Valley leads through a picturesque landscape with steep rocky …

June 20, 2025,Lütschine

A bedload collector on the Lütschine retains large quantities of gravel and rock from the river. Such structures are necessary to control bedload and prevent flood damage and blockages downstream. The collected material is regularly removed and partially reintroduced into the Lütschine to maintain the natural river dynamics. Bedload management is a central component of flood protection and water management …

Unfortunately it rained heavily, but maybe that meant there were fewer tourists.
