Grindelwald flights and travel guide

Grindelwald is a picturesque traditional mountain settlement at the foot of the Eiger mountain surrounded by spectacular alpine landscapes. Popular as both a summer and winter destination, it offers miles of slopes and hiking trails across the Alps, and for non-skiers there are a huge variety of winter activities, from tobogganing to groomed winter hiking tracks. For skiers there are three distinct areas to choose from, with slopes for beginners, intermediates and the challenges of the Eiger glacier for the experienced, as well as lift links to Wengen and Mürren, making this one of the best resorts from which to explore the Jungfrau region.

Grindelwald Insider Information

• Snowboard in the First snowpark, or ski the linked areas of Wengen and Murren. If you are really keen to ski from dawn to dusk the half hour train ride before you start may make you despair. Grindelwald was a ski resort before anyone had heard of “purpose-built”.
• Eat Rosti (grated and fried potatoes) with an egg or cheese to keep out the alpine cold.
• Look up at the north face of the Eiger in awe. The area has a long tradition of mountaineering history, and the walls of the restaurants display early photographs and equipment. When you see what they used, it makes you humble.
