What to do and see in Grindelwald, Canton of Bern: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers
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.

We recently had two private half day lessons with Mike and could not recommend him enough. We are intermediate skiers and were looking to improve our skiing technique, particularly in relation to carving. Mike is very patient and very knowledgeable, and he gave us a lot of good tips to improve our skiing technique. It was very easy to book lessons, we booked through the altitude desk in the Bernet Sports shop in Grindelwald.

Summer Sledding Mannlichen Enjoy +6 km exciting and safe sledding fun. Ride the unique Summer Gemel sled down Mount Mannlichen. Zoom past smooth slopes and green meadows full of wild flowers and fluttering butterflies. Feel alive and free amid one the most amazing alpine scenery. All it takes are solid shoes and fitted outdoor cloths. Everything else is taken care of. Due to the construction of the new cable car on the mount Mannlichen (2019) we are not running this summer. But we'll be opening up again in May 2020 with a refurbished race track - Yeah! See you then again. P.S. If you want to get the T-Shirt, Cap or Badge, you can still do so on www.summergemel.ch The Summer Gemel Pit Crew

Experience a day full of adventures on the Pfingstegg, the one and only family destination above Grindelwald. Hiking enthusiasts can hike up the mountain using one of our hiking paths and epicures enjoy a ride up with our gondola and a spectacular view over the glacier valley. At the top you will find several attractions for fun, to slow down and for curiosity: the toboggan, the brand-new fly-line and our fabled treasure hunt. And for a unique dinner, make a reservation for one of our gondola dinners.

2 8yr olds loved the short cable car ride up to the toboggan run which is on a loop so you can go on as many times before you come down. 8 yr olds were allowed on the run alone. We went on with ours first to get an idea of the speed, rules and general feel of the run as suggested by the staff. 1 was confident to go on a couple of runs by himself and loved it. Free small bouncy castle zip wire and playground for younger ones plus the cafe were good ideas. To save money we only paid for the cable car up the mountain and walked down which took about 90 mins with the kids. Whilst some parts of the descent were a bit hazardous both children managed it with little or no assistance. Definitely recommended...both parents also lives the toboggan!

The gondola cableway has a capacity of up to 1,200 persons per hour with a travelling time of approximately 25 minutes. Aside from the gondola cableway, Firstbahn AG also has three chairlifts and two ski lifts.

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! (see also Bachalpsee Lake, Grindelwald-First, The Eiger Trail and First Cliff Walk by Tissot)

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.
