Isenfluh
In 1973, Isenfluh, together with Wengen, Muerren, Gimmelwald, Stechelberg and Lauterbrunnen, became part of the municipality of Lauterbrunnen. The infrastructure of Isenfluh is installed, but a lot of the support comes from self-help groups. Since the village school was closed for financial reasons by the government of the Canton of Bern, the children of Isenfluh attend school in Lauterbrunnen.
The main road (and bus route), Churchischlief, to Isenfluh traverses a 1,200-metre (0.75 mi) spiral tunnel. This opened in 1992 and replaced a previous mountain road destroyed by a 1987 landslide.
Isenfluh is a base for hiking and sleigh-rides and ice-climbing. The Swiss Alpine Club (Schweizerischen Alpenclubs), SAC, is a few hours away.
