The Reichenbach Falls can be visited from early May to early October. They owe part of their fame to the writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his mythical character Sherlock Holmes. It was here that the famous detective staged his own death by jumping from the 120 m high waterfall. To get up there, a historic train rises to the top and leads to a platform. From this upper station, which is also accessible on foot, you have a spectacular view of the waterfall and the Hasli Valley.

The Trümmelbach Falls are a complex of ten glacier waterfalls inside the mountain, equipped with a tunnel lift and lighting. They are the only waterfalls to come out of the glacier walls of the three mountains of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The result is a unique spectacle in Europe! These huge waterfalls are absolutely impressive, with a flow rate of up to 20,000 litres per second in spring. Indeed, it is during the period of glacier melt that the picture is most extraordinary.
