The Staubbach Falls is perhaps the most famous of the 72 waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen valley. It's the third tallest waterfall in Switzerland at 297m.

It's easy to visit these falls are easy to visit, no gondola or long hike required. Just a 12 min walk from the Lauterbrunnen train station to the base of the falls. The visitor parking lot is even closer. See Staubbach Falls location on Google Maps.

You can already see these falls as you start to walk through the Lauterbrunnen village. When you reach the base, you can optionally hike up a short dirt path to a closer viewpoint, which leads through a tunnel to a lookout behind the water. 

When to visit: The best time to visit the falls is between April and August, when the water is flowing the most.

Cost: Free. These falls are free to visit, no barrier to entry.
