Place of the day 3/1/2023 Lauterbrunnen village

Swiss alps, Saint Moritz, Geneva, Zurich, Lucerne, matterhorn, sound of music!  So much cool stuff in Switzerland! To this list I would add the village of Lauterbrunnen. Its out of a story book, with mountains, waterfalls, and picturesque town.  Switzerland is expensive so be prepared! Incidently, lauterbrunnen and the valley its in was Tolkien's inspiration for Rivendell. Good place to start: https://onechelofanadventure.com/lauterbrunnen-switzerland-guide-best-things-to-do
