The village of Grindelwald is another beautiful place in Switzerland for adventurers and nature lovers to visit. This town is easiest to visit by booking this day trip from Zurich. This lovely green valley is part of the Jungfrau region of Switzerland, so be prepared for stunning mountain views and plenty of snow activities.
Grindelwald also boasts the Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen, the biggest ski resort in the region with 110 km of skiing runs. Many people come here to climb the iconic Eiger mountain that forms part of the Bernese Alps or take on the Wetterhorn peak that towers over the village.
And, of course, the famous Jungfraujoch is a short cogwheel ride away (purchase your Round-Trip Railway Ticket from Grindelwald here).
In summer, you can run, hike, or mountain bike on plenty of trails.
The Grindelwald First is a relatively small summit, which makes it perfect for a short outing or a fun cable car ride (book your cable car ticket online here). There’s even a restaurant at the top. For something out of a storybook, head 10 minutes out of town to the Gletscherschlucht. This rocky ravine is iconic, with the Lower Grindelwald flowing through its cracks.
There’s a kilometer hike into the ravine thanks to walkways.
And for adrenaline seekers, you can hit the “SpiderWeb” in summer and suspend over the roaring water below. Top Tip: For breathtaking views of the iconic Wetterhorn, Finsteraarhorn, and Schreckhorn peaks, visit Bachalpsee Lake. These mountain peaks reflect perfectly in the lake. It’s a magical sight.
