Grindelwald

Grindelwald is a stunning Alpine village nestled in a valley beneath the imposing north face of the Eiger. Known as the "Village of Glaciers," it's one of Switzerland's oldest and most popular mountain resorts — and the main gateway to the Jungfrau region.

The Grindelwald-First area offers the famous First Cliff Walk — a walkway suspended above a 300-meter drop — plus the First Flyer zipline and First Glider. The new Eiger Express gondola whisks you to the Jungfraujoch in record time. In winter, enjoy skiing with views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
