Switzerland Upper Engstligenfall
The Engstligen Falls in Adelboden in the Bernese Oberland is one of the largest and most spectacular waterfalls in Switzerland. It falls over two large steps from the Engstligenalp down into the valley.
The waterfall is at its most impressive in late spring/early summer, when a lot of meltwater from the mountains fills the streams.

Photography Tips
A wide-angle lens is definitely a must here, but telephoto lenses are also great for picking out details in the waterfall. Bring enough cloths to dry your camera!
Travel Information
A bus runs from Adelboden into the valley to the cable car station. There is also a large car park there. To get to the upper step of the waterfall, you either have to walk up the steep hiking trail or take the Godel cable car to Engstligenalp and then hike down to the falls on a relatively short hiking trail. Good hiking boots are highly recommended!
