Getting to Lauterbrunnen from Interlaken is pretty breezy, take the regional train from Ost station, it’s a straight 20-minute ride with huge valley views. I always grab a window seat, hop off at the main station, and stroll past the church to the Staubbach Falls sign. It’s just a short walk under that famous curtain of water. If you want to reach Trümmelbach Falls, catch the little Postbus (just outside the station) up to the hamlet of Stechelberg, then hike up or take the local lift to the glacier-fed falls. Carry a waterproof layer, the mist is real and awesome.

When I came from Zürich, I booked a seat reservation on the Swiss Federal Rail line, switching at Bern to the regional train that winds down through Lauterbrunnen Valley. Another option is flying into Geneva, grabbing the InterCity to Spiez, then the hourly Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen service, trains are frequent, punctual, and the Swiss Travel Pass covers everything. Once in Lauterbrunnen, everything is walkable: the Staubbach Falls are four minutes from the station, and the Trümmelbach Falls shuttle bus leaves every 20 minutes, taking you to the gorge where elevators and pathways lead past the ten cascades inside the mountain. I looked at driving at first, but parking is tight and the train leaves you ready for hiking. Arriving early means the valley is quiet, and you can hike up to the waterfall platform without jostling crowds.
