Yelp Review 2026 #118:…read more About a 40-45 minute hike from Staubbachfalls is Trümmelbach Falls - passing 2 waterfalls along the way. I mean you, you can take a bus from Lauterbrunnen station to get here but you'll miss out on the beautiful scenery, the cows and the flowers. Besides, 45 minutes isn't a far hike. I wasn't planning on coming here. I was at Staubbachfalls looking at Google Maps to see what else is in the area and this popped up. So, I started heading towards Trümmelback Falls. I didn't bother checking their hours - it's a waterfall! Why would it have hours of operation?!? It's open from 9am-5pm. I made it to the ticket booth at 4:55pm and I was let in. Imagine hiking for 45 minutes for nothing? I'd be pissed! Well, it happened to a few people and there's nothing they could do about it. If there's nobody at the ticket booth and the gate is locked, sorry, Charlie! I paid $24 (18 CHF) for a ticket. So, the reason why this waterfall has hours of operation is for the funicular and guest safety. Somebody has to operate the funicular to get to the dark cave that has the waterfall. It is dark, cold, loud and you will get slightly wet. So, be sure to bring a jacket and non-skid shoes. About a 5-minute walk from here is a bus stop to bring you back to Lauterbrunnen station.

Trümmelbach Falls is a must-see if you're visiting Lauterbrunnen. The falls are actually inside the…read moremountain, and you can hear the thunderous roar long before you see the water. Walking through tunnels, stairs, and viewing platforms carved into the rock is an adventure in itself. The elevator helps with part of the climb, but there are still quite a few stairs, so wear good shoes and be prepared for some effort. I'm glad we had patience waiting for the lift and didn't use the stairs all throughout. We got a little damp from the mist, and avoiding slippery areas in the dark were part of the fun experience. We had to come back the next day to get in since the place was already closed when we first arrived. We walked all the way from Staubbach to the village to Trummelbach and didn't know we could have taken the bus to get there while it was still open. It's well worth it.
