: dust creek fall) is a waterfall in Switzerland, located just west of Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Highlands.
The waterfall drops 297 metres (974 feet) from a hanging valley that ends in overhanging cliffs above the Weisse Lütschine.
After rain, and early in the season when fed by melting snow, Staubbach Falls is very striking.
The force of the stream above the fall at such times is sufficient to carry the water clear of the precipice, and the whole mass descends in a condition of liquid dust, between spray and cloud, that sways to-and-fro with the gentlest breeze.
