Lauterbrunnen & Mürren Switzerland
Lauterbrunnen is that place you’ve definitely seen on Pinterest. The dramatic valley, massive cliffs, and waterfalls literally pouring out of the mountains. There’s a reason it’s been inspiring artists and outdoor lovers for centuries. We got lucky with blue skies, passing clouds and mild fall air. September is the time to be there for hikers after the summer rush. We spent our day hiking a few dreamy trails, wandering past cozy chalets, and stopping every five minutes because the views refused to be ignored. It’s calm, fresh, and wildly photogenic without the summer chaos.
Then there’s Mürren, a cliffside village that casually flexes nonstop alpine views. This car-free mountain town dates back to farming roots but became a travel favorite in the late 1800s, and honestly… it hasn’t lost its charm. Think flower-filled balconies, quiet paths, and the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains just casually showing off in the background. Walking around felt peaceful but exciting, like you’re in on a secret. Hiking up here in September was unbeatable. Sunny skies, golden grasses, and that crisp mountain air that makes everything feel a little more magical.
If you’re chasing blue skies, unreal hikes, and scenery that looks fake in the best way, Lauterbrunnen and Mürren in September absolutely deliver. No notes. Just wow.
