Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Grindelwald, Canton of Bern
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.

2. Maennlichen Romantic Trail

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.
3. The Wetterhorn
4. Bachalpsee Lake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 632 reviews
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.

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.
10. Glacier Canyon
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 144 reviews
An impressive masterpiece of nature, the 300m deep Glacier Canyon was formed by the lower Grindelwald glacier, which over time carved its way through the rock in this area. Sadly the lower glacier no longer exists, but the canyon itself is now thriving as a popular destination for a unique sensory walk through its exposed rock galleries and tunnels. The rushing water cascades freely from the mountains into the Lutschine River below, sometimes causing a sudden rush of wind through the canyon and a rapid temperature flux as rays of light reflect along the steep walls. An interesting experience for all ages, the Glacier Canyon is an ideal, easy-access tourist destination. Its accessibility in all weather conditions also makes it a convenient stop for short tour programs. One of the highlights of this attraction is the 170 m2 SPIDERWEB which spans the canyon, providing visitors with a thrilling net platform to scramble, walk or crawl on, seven metres above the roaring Lutschine River.

A short walk, or bus-ride, from Grindelwald is this fascinating glacial canyon. An excellent walkway takes one along this 300 metre deep gorge, with soaring rockfaces and thundering river. One of the highlights of this attraction is the 170 m2 SPIDERWEB which spans the canyon, providing visitors with a thrilling net platform to scramble, walk or crawl on, seven metres above the roaring Lutschine River. There is also a canyon swing for adrenalin lovers!
