Holiday in Grindelwald

About Grindelwald

Grindelwald is located in a breathtaking valley basin at the foot of the notorious Eiger North Face and is one of the most famous mountain villages in Switzerland. Since the 19th century, the 'Glacier Village' has attracted travelers from all over the world – initially the British pioneers of alpinism, then generations of skiers, hikers, and nature lovers who cannot get enough of the dramatic backdrop of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The spectacular Eiger Express cable car, opened in 2020, takes guests from Grindelwald Terminal to Eigergletscher in just 15 minutes and revolutionizes access to Jungfraujoch – the 'Top of Europe' at 3,454 meters, the highest railway station in Europe. First – Grindelwald's local mountain – offers an adrenaline package of superlatives with the First Flyer (zip line over the lake), the First Glider (eagle flight), the Trottibike (mountain cart descent), and the Cliff Walk (glass walkway over the abyss). In winter, the ski areas First and Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen are connected to the Jungfrau Ski Region and offer 213 kilometers of slopes against the most spectacular mountain backdrop of the Alps. The Pfingstegg toboggan run and the Gletscherschlucht – a walkable gorge with towering ice formations in winter – delight families. Grindelwald's village center with its dark brown chalets, cozy restaurants, and the view of the looming Eiger North Face is unforgettable. German travelers can easily reach Grindelwald via Bern and Interlaken.
