Location: Lauterbrunnen Valley

Nestled between sheer cliffs and 72 waterfalls, Lauterbrunnen is one of the most magical places in Europe — so much so that it inspired Tolkien’s vision of Rivendell. Autumn transforms this valley into a canvas of golden trees, snow-dusted peaks, and crisp mountain air. It’s not just a destination — it’s a muse.
