Grindelwald is postcard-perfect, a charming example of a Swiss ski resort. There are slopes for all experience levels, plus plenty of snowy activities for those who don’t ski, such as sledding, hiking or snowshoeing. Not feeling particularly active? Just cozy up by crackling fire and enjoy the merry atmosphere. After a long day, nothing’s better than lingering over a pot of Swiss fondue and a glass of crisp wine as you plan the next day’s adventures.

The wide, well maintained panorama trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg with a gentle descent most of the way. Only the part by the Tschuggen flank has a guard rail. We walked early October and the trail had only a section (mainly in the shade) that was icy and tricky to manoeuvre as it was one of the few uphill sections. The views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are simple breathtaking.

He painted the Jungfrau and the Schynige Platte, but Ferdinand Hodler never committed Lake Bachalpsee to canvas. The glacial water reflecting the Schreckhorn in the calm air would have been entirely in keeping with the taste of the well-known symbolist. Many others discovered the beauty of the "blue jewel". Lake Bachalpsee travels around the world as a postcard. However: no photo are able capture the radiance of the lake. You need to go there and see it for yourself. That doesn't require much effort. Lake Bachalpsee can be reached from First on foot in less than an hour.

Bachalpsee is an extremely scenic lake and can be reached by an easy hike from First. Definitely worth visiting.

Faulhorn is one of the mountain peaks located in the region near Grindelwald, in Switzerland. I did a wonderful trekking between First and Faulhorn Mountain after to catch a cablecar between Grindelwald (town) and First. In the trekking, you can see a few lakes like Bachalpsee Lake and wonderful views of the mountains and surroundings. Really, it is a great excursion, which finish on Faulhorn Peak, from where you will see fantastic views of the other peaks. Do it!

If you’re ready to stretch your legs after a long time on the cog train, alpiglen is a great stop. You can get drinks and light snacks near the train station while enjoying the view of The Eiger from its base.

Stayed here for four days in September, spent a day catching the cable car to First via Bort and Schrekfeld. The cliff walk was fantastic, amazing views over the mountains and valleys, really peaceful. Restaurants we very good. Zip wire from First to Schrekfeld was brilliant then three wheeled go cart down to Bort was great, finally the scooter down to Grindelwald was excellent.
