Stechelberg is a small mountain village in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The village is at the base of the Jungfrau mountain. It serves as the terminus of the Schilthorn Cable Car (also called Luftseilbahn Stechelberg-Mürren-Schilthorn), which connects many of the car-free mountain hamlets in the area.

In recent years, Stechelberg has become increasingly popular with tourists, both during summer and winter. Nonetheless it has not lost its traditional way of life. Visitors to the village will still be able to see the farmers going about their chores, somewhat unaware of their breathtaking surroundings. Clustered here in the valley and there are their farm houses, looking like Monopoly houses.

During summer, you can explore the surrounding countryside. You will pass by cows, sheep, and shaggy long-horned goats, and of course the occasional farmer. There are numerous hiking trails that take you sights of scenic beauty. The place has quite a number of tall waterfalls - some of the highest waterfalls in Switzerland are found here.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
