THINGS TO DO IN LAUTERBRUNNEN

Lauterbrunnen Valley
BEST FOOD IN LAUTERBRUNNEN
Other than the Lauterbrunnen Switzerland restaurants, you’ll also want to try the best dishes around.
Here is the best food Lauterbrunnen offers, from cheesy delicacies and more:
Fondue: Whether you have lunch or dinner in Lauterbrunnen, no Swiss food adventure would be complete without experiencing Fondue. A dish made by melting cheese in a communal pot, it’s traditionally enjoyed by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks.
Each bite offers a delightful blend of creamy, tangy flavors that you’ll love. I recommend going to Hotel Oberland Restaurant as they have some of the best Fondue in Lauterbrunnen.
Raclette: When planning a Lauterbrunnen lunch, Raclette is another iconic Swiss cheese dish you can’t miss. A wheel of Raclette cheese is heated, and the melted part is scraped onto boiled potatoes, pickles, and onions. The result? A burst of gooey goodness that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
Rösti: Originally a breakfast dish from the Swiss-German region of Switzerland, Rösti is now enjoyed all over the country. Think of it as Switzerland’s answer to hash browns – crispy, golden brown, and absolutely delicious. It’s made by grating potatoes and frying them until they’re perfectly crunchy.
Zürcher Geschnetzeltes: This mouth-watering dish from Zurich features thinly sliced meat in a creamy white wine and mushroom sauce. It’s often served with Rösti, making it a hearty meal that’s sure to leave you satisfied.
Swiss Pastries: Switzerland’s pastry game is strong, and that’s great when planning breakfast Lauterbrunnen. From the buttery, flaky croissants to the sweet, jam-filled Nusstorte from Engadine, these pastries are just delicious.
WHERE TO STAY IN LAUTERBRUNNEN
The majority of people choose to stay in Interlaken, a small city located just twenty minutes drive or twenty minutes on the train from Lauterbrunnen Valley.
There are hundreds of accommodation options to choose from, so I have narrowed it down to a few of my personal favorite places to stay to fit the needs of budget backpackers, luxury travelers, and everyone in between.
See the list of accommodations that I personally recommend:
Luxury: Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa
This 5-star hotel is centrally located between two beautiful lakes in the picturesque town of Interlaken.
Victoria Jungfrau Hotel features a spa, swimming pool, sauna, and steam room.
The spacious rooms have elegant interiors and marble bathrooms, boasting views of the snowcapped mountains in the Jungfrau region. Wifi is free and breakfast is included.
Mid Range: Hotel Interlaken
Hotel Interlaken is where I based myself for one night because it is conveniently located just five minute’s walk from Interlaken East Train Station and a twenty-minute train ride to the valley.
Hotel Interlaken is the perfect accommodation for couples, families, solo travelers, and friends. Featuring large rooms, mountain views, and a delicious buffet breakfast.
Budget: Valley Hostel
If you are traveling solo, the Valley Hostel is your best option for cheap accommodation.
Located in the heart of the valley, this hostel is within walking distance to nearby waterfalls, retail shops, restaurants, and the main train station.
Valley Hostel offers dorms and private rooms for every sort of traveler!

The train from Interlaken takes only twenty minutes and you’ll disembark right in the center of upper Lauterbrunnen Valley.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The best time to visit depends on what you plan to do. If you are planning on cycling or hiking, then you’ll want to time your visit during summer.
I personally prefer the spring and summer months in Switzerland which are April through to September when temperatures are warm and the landscapes are vividly green.
If you don’t mind the cold, visiting in winter between December and March is absolutely magical because the mountains are completely covered in glistening white snow.
Visiting in winter also gives you the option to go skiing in the Swiss Alps.
BEST LAUTERBRUNNEN TOURS
There are so many sights and experiences to take in. From the gorgeous valleys, the glacial waterfalls, and the beautiful mountain ranges, it can be hard to decide where to start.
