Things to Do in Grindelwald

Plan your days in Grindelwald, your way

Grindelwald gives you the Alps in a single, generous serving: famous enough to thrill, small enough to understand in three days.

Day one, ride the gondola to First for the cliff walk and a lakeside picnic at Bachalpsee, the view that anchors the whole trip.

Day two, take the cogwheel train up to Kleine Scheidegg and stand beneath the Eiger's north face with a coffee from the terrace.

In between, wander Dorfstrasse at dusk when the shop lights come on and the peaks fade to silhouette.

Dinner one night is fondue in a wood-panelled stube; the next, a simple rösti at a family-run gasthof where the owner's dog sleeps by the stove.

The walk down from Bort through flower meadows to the village takes an easy hour and asks nothing of you but attention.

Buy alpine cheese from the little dairy near the church and eat it on a bench watching the trains wind up the valley.

If the weather turns, the village museum and a long hot chocolate cover the afternoon gracefully.

Nothing here is extreme, and nothing is dull either: just a beautiful place met at a comfortable pace.

You'll leave feeling like you actually saw somewhere, which is the whole idea.
