Tip from tour guide
Lauterbrunnen, at an altitude of 795 m (2,608.27 ft) above sea level, is well known by fans of J. R. R. Tolkien. The creators of the film “The Lord of the Rings” believe the world of elves looks exactly like this village!
The area is also becoming more popular as a summer destination relative to fiery Italy, Greece, Spain and France thanks to the coolness of the mountains.
