What the valley is doing this month

One email a month from Lauterbrunnen. Every issue is here too.

Calendar/Newsletter

Once a month I write to everyone on the list about what the valley is actually doing: what is open, what is shut, what the weather and the trains are up to, and which weeks are quiet. It is written here, on the valley floor, not by an agency.

Every issue is also published on this page, so you can read the latest before you sign up. To get the next one by email, put your address in the form at the bottom of the page. One email a month, and you can leave with one click.

Nightly ranges for our own three places, before cleaning. What you actually pay moves with the dates, the length of stay and how far ahead you book, so treat these as the shape of it rather than a quote. Dollar figures are converted at 1 USD = 0.835 CHF, set 15 October 2026.
