Of the extensive cave system, some 14 kilometres have been explored to date.Thanks to the new and innovative lighting installed in 2019, the roughly one kilometre long tour through grottos, massive dripstone formations, vast halls and gorges has been considerably enhanced.

With its ten glacial water falls inside the mountain, made accessible by tunnel lift, the Trümmelbach waterfalls are truly unique in Europe. Trümmelbach alone drains the enormous glacial walls of the Eiger (3970m), Mönch (4099m) and Jungfrau (4158m) with up to a spectacular 20,000 litres of water per second. This stems from a catchment area of 24 square kilometres of which approximately half is covered with snow and ice. UNESCO world natural heritage.
Surrounded by more than 200 alpine peaks and embedded in a pristine mountain environment, the Piz Gloria is located at 2,970 metres above sea level. The instantly recognisable summit building takes pride of place on the Schilthorn summit. Let your gaze wander over spellbinding wraparound views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, flanked by an array of peaks in the Bernese and Valais Alps. To one side, the shimmering blue waters of Lake Thun, the pretty Swiss central plateau and the mountains of the Jura chain stretch out towards the horizon. Excellent visibility provided, you can even see as far as the Black Forest in Germany or the Mont Blanc massif in France.
After you’re done admiring the impressive Jungfrau peaks from your balcony, get up there and ski right down them! The Jungfrau ski region has 120+ miles of skiing and snowboarding runs, and right in Wengen, the slopes of Kleine Scheidegg, Lauberhorn and Männlichen promise powdery-white pistes for every level of adventurer.

Lauterbrunnen Valley goes well beyond the quaint town of Wengen, and wandering through it means getting lost amidst miles of towering pines, seemingly impossible cliff faces, colorful alpine meadows and cozy villages. “Lauterbrunnen” translates to “many springs,” and its namesake valley is home to 72 waterfalls.
Of them, don’t miss Trümmelbach Falls, which cascades more than 650 feet over ten, glistening glacier falls.
