Lütschental is a village and a municipality in the Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

In 1528, the city of Bern adopted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation and began imposing it on the Bernese Oberland.

[3] Beginning in the late 19th century, the population of the village dropped as residents moved to the cities of the Swiss Plateau or emigrated in search of jobs.

The construction of a power plant for the Jungfrau railway, in 1908, provided more jobs but was unable to stop the population decline.

Today some residents raise livestock in alpine meadows or work in the small tourism industry.

About half of the working population commute to jobs in the nearby municipality of Grindelwald.

[5] The peak of Winteregg, the highest mountain in the municipality, lies at 2,555 m (8,383 ft).

Lütschental belongs to the parish of Gsteig bei Interlaken in the municipality of Gsteigwiler.

[6] The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Or a Chamois statant Sable on a Rock Argent.

[10] Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (244 or 96.4%) as their first language, Albanian is the second most common (5 or 2.0%) and Dutch is the third (1 or 0.4%).

In the tertiary sector; 3 or 16.7% were in wholesale or retail sales or the repair of motor vehicles, 4 or 22.2% were in the movement and storage of goods, 7 or 38.9% were in a hotel or restaurant, 4 or 22.2% were in education.

[10] From the 2000 census[update], 14 or 5.5% were Roman Catholic, while 223 or 88.1% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church.

This is followed by three years of obligatory lower Secondary school where the students are separated according to ability and aptitude.

Following the lower Secondary students may attend additional schooling or they may enter an apprenticeship.

[18] During the 2010–11 school year, there were a total of 23 students attending classes in Lütschental.
