Grindelwald is set amidst spectacular scenery at the foot of the towering North face of the Eiger. The sunny region of ‘First’, Grindelwald’s own ski area, has skiing to suit beginners and intermediates looking for those confidence-boosting wide runs. Snowboarders will love the obstacle park and the ‘Schreckfeld Superpipe’, one of Switzerland’s largest half-pipes Easy access to the ‘Jungfrau’ ski region including the pistes linking Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen means that you can tackle the challenging Lauberhorn race run, have lunch on the other side of the mountain in Wengen, AND be home in time for tea. Non-skiers have fantastic winter walking possibilities with the non-skiers lift pass, and there are numerous bars and cafés for hard-earned pick-me-ups!
