SWITZERLAND: Berner Oberland, Loetschental

439 images Created 15 Nov 2011

Photos of the Berner Oberland in Switzerland include: Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Männlichen Gipfel, Kleine Scheidegg, Lauterbrunnen Valley, Staubbach Falls, churches, hikers, flowers, moths, cows. How to get there: From Zurich's downtown train station, ride 4 hours to Interlaken, in the Canton of Berne. From Interlaken, board a train to wide Grindelwald Valley or deep Lauterbrunnen Valley. Nearby in Valais, see the quieter Loetschental valley including an odd two-color goat.

After considering a number of locations, the stalled construction of the sports bar atop the Schilthorn was chosen when the film's producer financed the completion of the now-famous revolving platform for the right to use it for his film.

  • Staubbach Falls plunges 974 feet in Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland, Europe. From Berghotel Faulhorn, we hiked the spectacular trail to Schynige Platte (6.9 miles, 400 feet ascent, 2660 ft descent). Then we took the scenic Schynige Platte cog train down to Wilderswil, where a train took us to Lauterbrunnen Bahnhof and adjacent Hotel Silberhorn. Berghotel Faulhorn was built in 1830, one of the oldest mountain hotels in the Alps. Earplugs are recommended for sleeping, as the old walls are thin. Perched on a remote precipice with great views especially at sunset and sunrise, Berghotel Faulhorn has flush toilets, but no drinking-water supply, nor guest showers. To save money, carry extra liters of drinking water from Grindelwald. In 2022, Berghotel Faulhorn charged 4 CHF per liter for hikers' tea, and 12 CHF per 1.5-liter bottle of drinking water. The hut's roof-gathered water is undrinkable (and our squeeze-filter didn't remove the bad taste). For personal hygiene, cold water is provided in the dormitory washroom, and the private rooms have nostalgic water jugs and bowls.
