Top 5 Spots to Read a Book

Books and the great outdoors are a better combination than you might think!

Sure, it’s great fun to go flying through the air feeling the weightlessness of paragliding or dangling 800 metres on the side of a cliff while climbing a Via Ferrata, but what about those moments in between all the action when all you want to do is calm the mind and enjoy some quiet time with that new book you picked up at the airport. Or that book you brought from home that you’ve meant to read for months but never found the time for. 

Well here’s the list for you!


  1. Flavours Cafe, Lauterbrunnen

    This cafe is located in the middle of Lauterbrunnen village. With its cosy sofas it is the perfect place to whip out that long awaited novel, while enjoying a great cup of coffee and maybe a slice of cake. Not liking the book you brought? No problem! Their large selcetion of books to swap has more than one good title. See if something catches your eye and make a trade!

  2. Wengen Church

    The evangelical church in Wengen has one of the best lookout points over the Lauterbrunnen valley. With several benches hidden behind the tall bushes below the church, you can enjoy a stunning view while peacefully decompressing with a book.

  3. Murren

    In the heart of Murren, right below Cafe Liv, is an open concrete area overlooking the beautiful mountains that tower above the village. Benches are set up, making it an ideal place to pull out a book and enjoy the views, the occasional paraglider passing by above, and maybe indulge in a delicious snack from the cafe.

  4. Swimming Pool, Lauterbrunnen

    We all know beaches and books go hand in hand, and the same goes for pools! The Lauterbrunnen pool is an outdoor pool ideal for cooling down on a hot summer day. Bring your paperback, grab a sunbed, and revel in the opportunity to refresh in the water in between chapters.


  5. Schwendi Bench

    Are you looking for that off-the-beaten-track location with stunning views to fully immerse yourself in your own fantasy? Then look no further! The Schwendi bench is located at the very back of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and offers some of the most breathtaking views around. This location is only accessible by foot, allowing you to earn the privilege of serenity.
