📍 Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland 🇨🇭⁠
Lauterbrunnen is a really beautiful municipality in the Swiss alps. It has a picturesque valley and a stunning Swiss-style village just next to Interlaken. It is often referred to as the Valley of 72 Waterfalls.⁠

And I would say winter jetboat rides can be even more scenic once snow covers all the surrounding peaks ❄️😍⁠

After a long hike, I stand before the endless beauty of Oeschinensee. The Swiss Alps stretch beyond as if painted by nature’s hand. Lauterbrunnen’s waterfalls whisper from afar, Zermatt’s peaks stand tall, and Grindelwald’s valleys echo with stories of old. The Jungfrau watches over, and Interlaken’s lakes reflect the sky. Each place is a chapter in Switzerland’s tale, and each moment is a reminder of nature’s grace.⁠

I’m living in my dream 👇🏻⁠
Summary of an incredible trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭⁠
Breathtaking places, food, walks, and landscapes 🗻🍫🫕🧀⁠
And many other little gems and magnificent places were part of this trip that will mark us forever, I`m sure!⁠
.⁠
Waking up early and walking were the mottos of the trip but this is the only way we managed to do so much in so little time. Even so, there is a feeling that we have seen very little and that there will be much more to see!⁠
.⁠
It is to return. Until next time 👊🏻⁠
