Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so it's important to check the forecast before your visit. Some tickets may offer partial refunds or rescheduling options if activities are canceled due to weather. Always check the refund policy when booking. Most of our experiences are fully refundable when cancelled up to 24 hours before.
Yes, the Adventure Package typically includes a round-trip gondola ride and multiple activities, such as the First Flyer, First Glider, and Mountain Carts, giving you a better deal than buying all of those tickets separately.

Grindelwald First is packed with fun for kids! The Bort Alpine Playground offers safe play with amazing mountain views, perfect for little ones to run around. Older kids will love the First Flyer zip line, zooming at speeds up to 84 km/h. Families can also enjoy Trottibike scooters and mountain carts for exciting downhill rides. For something calmer, the easy hike to Bachalpsee is a great way to bond and soak in nature. Adventure and stunning scenery make Grindelwald First a top spot for families!
Yes, dogs are allowed on the gondola, and many of the hiking trails are pet-friendly. However, dogs aren’t permitted on certain activities like the First Flyer or Glider. Check with each activity before planning your day.
Yes, lockers are available at the Grindelwald First gondola station to store your belongings while you enjoy activities like ziplining or mountain carts. This allows you to travel light and keep your items secure.
Layering is key; start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a warm fleece or sweater, and finish with a waterproof and windproof jacket to protect against changing weather conditions. Sturdy hiking shoes are a must, especially if you plan to explore trails like the one to Bachalpsee. Don't forget to bring accessories like a hat and sunglasses for sun protection, as the high altitude can intensify UV exposure. Lastly, pack a small backpack with snacks and water to keep your energy up during your adventures!
The booking experience was easy and helpful. Got tickets beforehand for seamless travel and easy access to all the included venues
The experience was great, although very crowded and touristy. The gondola was broken, so paid for that feature, but did not get in either direction. It was disappointing. The train was filled with large tour groups, so standing room only on the train going down. That being said, I still would recommend.
Great arrangement. Nowhere to wait in the crowds. Superb surroundings with beautiful views.
It was a unique experience, like being in another world.
Must do at least once, spectacular scenery
The tickets were easy to buy and the excursion went very well. It would be important to note in your descriptions that it is possible to take the train even without a reservation. At the departure of the train there are 2 queues, 1 for tickets with seat reservations (which cost more) and one without. Despite this difference, it's perfectly possible to sit on a seat with a Headout reservation.
i had to look for an hour before I remembered that I downloaded an app for the tickets. A mail would have been much easier.
It was simply amazing - as the Swiss would say - perfect weather, much less crowds than I had feared despite the ultra high season, the whole thing was an overwhelming experience in the high alpine mountains, at the beginning of the great Aletsch Glacier, which will stay in my memory forever!
The trip up to the Top of the World was magnificent- Gondola 🚠 & train was efficient and easy. Once up there- the views are gorgeous- winter wonderland . With lots to keep you inspired- snow cave , restaurants & shops
Everything from the gondola ride to the train ride to the top was magical. Once you step outside and see the view, it was absolute wonder! Everything from snow tubing, to zip lining, to the crystal palace was so awesome. I can't wait to be there again!
All good. Only one little flaw: it is not clear that the round trip should be taken on the same day. We had little trouble because our tickets didn't go through smoothly the next day. The kind personnel let us through promptly, though.
The day we booked was a total white out when we got to the top, but the weather cleared for about 15 minutes and we got some great photos. Amazing experience.
Fabulous journey from start to finish Well organised.views Fabulous all of which where accessible by wheelchair however if should state somewhere that the icecave and glacier are not accessible by wheelchair which was a great shame .
Amazing place to visit. Was able to use Swiss half fare being a visitor which made it more affordable and some parts of the building were overcrowded with tourists but you can get to places which especially outside which aren't as busy. Best to book a return journey as I had to wait quite sometime to get back on a train with no reservation.
The Jungfraujoch was epic! My only issue was the issue to try to get a Eurail discount associated with this purchase as I was told I was eligible for that. Is there a way I can submit my Eurail ticket card (pass reference 4BSDV3) and apply for a discount or partial refund? Thank you for your consideration! Take care, Kuangkai Tai, San Diego
Loved loved looooovvveeeeed everything about this experience! Getting a ticket was eazy. Keep in mind it takes a lot of time to travel in switserland. I had a hotel on Chur and it took me more than two hours of driving with my car to get to grindelwald. Just a little advice for somebody who makes a reservation at the very last moment ;) you also get a lot of information so it's best to use the app and take some screenshots. Yes it is pricey but the view from "on top of europe" was priceless. (Haha ;)) to be honest I think I could enjoy this experience a bit more if it wasn't so much crowded. Some people call it a tourist trap... I'd rather call it a lazy way to get on top ;) the views were spectacular and surely worth my money
It would have been great. If you had known that there was no time commitment. The information was completely missing. The Eigerbahn and Jungfrauenjochbahn ran every half hour so you didn't have to be there on time at 12:45. That makes a big difference if you have a journey of almost 3 hours.
I was thrilled by the breathtaking view. But there were just too many people there. But it's worth the experience.
Walking to the overlook and mountain hut. Unbelievable views!

It was a very great. Everything was very smooth.
We head a great experience in this trip. Very informative and well coordinated.
The tour was pleasant, but what was advertised was a panoramic train ride and that didn't happen. We used an ordinary train from Grindelwald to Interlaken, where some people were left standing. On arrival at the station in Interkaken, the route was long and people were not given a map to get back to the bus parking lot. This caused a lot of stress.
Fantastic experience overall! The hospitality of the hosts (Ambi, Manuel) was lovely along with everything that came with this! I'd definitely recommend this!
The explanation and the way they took us to different places was excellent. Indeed this was one of the best experiences I had
It was spectacular, beautiful views and everything was on time. We loved it and would definitely go back with them on our next trip. Our guide was very friendly and helpful
