If you’re interested, the train from Lauterbrunnen up the Eiger, Monsch and Jungfrau to the top of the mountain is great and theLauterbrunnen valley itself has dozens of waterfalls. There is also a town sitting above the valley at one of the train stops. Amazing scenery for photography. Nearby, Interlaken is also beautiful.
I do love waterfalls! Thank you!

I agree on the walk down, but late September or early October weather will dictate. I walked down in July and was glad I had long sleeves and the zip on legs of my pants with me.
That lake has a pretty Chateau on it and is a great subject. On our trip they were filming a "Bollywood" Indian film wedding scene. The lovely actress was freezing every part off in her diaphanous gown. And the groom's obligatory moustache seemed (through my 70-300) to be frosting up.
Great streetside cafes and restaurants in Zermatt--otherwise bring TWO credit cards, it ya get my meaning. It is also a great starting point toward the Ticino region and one of the other great rail rides in Switzerland--actually through a piece of Italy called the Centovalli (100 valleys) down into the area around Lago Maggiore and Lago de Como. For me, after all the drama of the high Alps, this is where I most want to return. The food's great, and the Primitivo (Zinfandel to the rest of us) is stunning.
