The Swiss Alps
Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
Description
Added by Jed Forster
On my backpacking trip around Europe, I stopped in the Swiss Alps for 3 days. Absolutely incredible spot.
I left my hostel and just wandered around the Lauterbrunnen valley. Caught cable cars up, went paragliding, and stood there in awe at what I was seeing.
