Welcome to Grindelwald, this is one of the few places you must not miss, when you are planning your trip to Switzerland
Grindelwald village is located at 1,034 m (3,392 ft) above sea level. Mentioned for the first time in 1146, it has become a major tourist destination of both Switzerland and the Alps since the golden age of alpinism in the 19th century. It is notably overlooked by the section of the Bernese Alps from the Wetterhorn to the Eiger, making up a huge natural barrier. Together with the adjacent valley of Lauterbrunnen, the valley of Grindelwald forms part of the Jungfrau Region of the Bernese Oberland, between Interlaken and the main crest of the Bernese Alps.
Similarly to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald is connected to Interlaken by the Bernese Oberland Railway and is the start of the Wengernalp Railway, leading to Kleine Scheidegg. The latter resort is the start of the Jungfrau Railway, the highest railway in Europe and a gateway to the Jungfrau-Aletsch protected area.
The main attraction at Grindelwald First is undoubtedly the stunning vista of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks, which form a dramatic backdrop to the experience. Visitors can soak in these incredible vistas from a spacious viewing platform, which also offers a glimpse of the Grindelwald Glacier below, slowly making its way down the valley.
Thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them entertained at Grindelwald First. The First Flyer zip line provides an exhilarating experience as you glide over the landscape, while the First Glider allows you to soar like a bird, suspended from a cable. For those who crave an adrenaline rush, the First Cliff Walk offers a narrow pathway with transparent sections, allowing you to feel like you're walking on air while taking in the astonishing scenery.
