The valley of 72 waterfalls draws a BASE jumping, paragliding, and hiking crowd who converge on two valley-floor hostels for bonfires, Swiss beer, and the kind of communal evenings that happen when extreme sports people descend on a small Swiss village.
Lauterbrunnen is a small Swiss village at the bottom of a glacier-carved valley in the Bernese Oberland, 20km south of Interlaken by train. The valley walls rise 300 metres on both sides and host 72 waterfalls, of which Staubbach Falls — 297 metres, visible from the village centre — is the most dramatic. The reason a party scene exists here at all is the BASE jumping community: the valley's cliff faces are among the most active BASE exit points in Europe, and the proximity of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks draws paragliders, wingsuit flyers, and free climbers throughout the summer. The social infrastructure for this crowd is largely contained in two establishments: Valley Hostel and Horner Bar, both on the main village street.
Horner Bar is the operational centre of Lauterbrunnen's evening scene. It is a small Swiss pub with outdoor terrace, which runs until 1am most nights in peak season with a mix of locals, BASE jumpers, paragliders, and travellers in transit between Interlaken and the Jungfrau area. Swiss beer costs CHF 5–7 per half-litre. The bonfires happen in the valley meadows below the village on warm evenings — informal, self-organising, and the best way to meet the jumping and flying community. Camping in the valley is permitted and the campsite below the village runs its own bar that stays open late. The scene is not loud; the valley acoustics make even a moderate volume feel large.

Day-by-day breakdown
Paragliding tandem flights from Männlichen or Mürren land in the valley meadow below Lauterbrunnen; a tandem flight costs CHF 150–200 and takes 15–30 minutes depending on conditions. Trümmelbach Falls (CHF 12 entry) are 10 waterfalls inside the mountain, fed by the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau glaciers, and carry 20,000 litres per second at peak melt — one of the more genuinely impressive things in the Alps. The Stechelberg–Mürren aerial cableway, 3km from the village, accesses the cliff villages above the valley and connects to the Jungfraujoch railway.
Horner Bar opens at 4pm and fills from 7pm with the day's jumpers and flyers comparing footage. The outdoor terrace faces the valley wall and Staubbach Falls. On warm July and August evenings someone usually organises a bonfire in the meadow below the village; ask at Valley Hostel for that evening's plan. Swiss beer at Horner: CHF 5–7 per half-litre. The campsite bar below the village is cheaper and stays open equally late.
