Trümmelbach Falls
Trümmelbach Falls is a series of ten glacier-fed waterfalls that run almost entirely inside the mountain, carved into the rock and accessible via a tunnel elevator and a series of walkways that let visitors get unusually close to thundering, enclosed cascades — a genuinely different experience from an open-air waterfall. The falls carry meltwater from the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau glaciers, and the volume and force of the water inside the narrow chambers is considerable, especially in summer.
It's one of the more physically dramatic (and slightly damp) short excursions in the Lauterbrunnen valley, and works well paired with Staubbachfall on the same visit since both are close together.

No, it's open seasonally, roughly April through early November.
