Lauterbrunnen is situated in a deep gully in the middle of the Swiss alps and is surrounded by towering cliffs and glacial waterfalls. The houses are adorned with colorful flower boxes and a quaint little chapel marks the town centre. Simply describing this town as picturesque doesn't do it enough justice.
