Can I buy Grindelwald First tickets on the day of my visit, or should I book in advance?

It's recommended to book in advance, especially during peak seasons, as tickets for popular activities like the First Flyer and Mountain Carts can sell out quickly. Booking ahead also helps you avoid waiting in long lines.

Do I need to exchange my online ticket for a physical one at Grindelwald First?

No, the QR code you receive is your ticket. Simply scan the QR code at the gate to board—one code per person, no need to exchange for a physical ticket.

Are Grindelwald First tickets refundable if the weather is bad?

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.

Is the Grindelwald First gondola ride included in the Adventure Package?

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. This is the best bet for the tourists who are all in for a A-Z Grindelwald experience!

Can I stop at intermediate stations (Bort or Schreckfeld) with a Grindelwald First gondola ticket?

Yes, you can hop on and off the gondola at Bort or Schreckfeld with a standard gondola ticket, making it easy to explore other hiking trails or activities along the way.

Is there a discount for Swiss Travel Pass holders?

Yes, Swiss Travel Pass holders often get discounts on Grindelwald First gondola tickets and some activities. Be sure to show your pass when purchasing or booking online.

Is Grindelwald-First wheelchair accessible?

What’s the best way to buy tickets if I’m traveling from Zurich or Lucerne?

If you’re coming from Zurich or Lucerne, consider booking a day trip package that includes transportation and Grindelwald First tickets. This simplifies your planning and ensures you don’t miss any connections.

What are the best Grindelwald First experiences for kids?

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!

Can I take my dog on the gondola or hiking trails at Grindelwald First?

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.

Are lockers available to store items while I explore?

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.

What should I wear when visiting Grindelwald First?

**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!

Ready to trade city streets for mountain peaks? Take a quick gondola ride from the cozy village of Grindelwald to Mt. First – the ultimate adventure playground in the heart of the Swiss Alps. From jaw-dropping views and epic hikes to heart-pounding activities like the First Cliff Walk and Mountain Carts, this is where thrill-seekers and nature lovers unite. Read on to find top ticket options and a handy travel guide, complete with insider tips for the perfect escape!

What to expect?

Scenic commute

Start your adventure with a lovely 25-minute cable car ride, taking in panoramic views of the Eiger North Face as you ascend to 2,166 meters. With two stops along the way, admire idyllic meadows, grazing cows, and charming Swiss chalets.

Things to know before buying Grindelwald First tickets

To avoid the hassle and long waits (up to 30 minutes to an hour during peak seasons) in ticketing queues, consider pre-booking your gondola tickets online. However, be prepared for some waiting time when boarding the gondola.
If you're traveling from Lucerne or Zurich, booking a day trip is a smart investment that covers all logistics: a scenic coach ride to Grindelwald, a cable car to Mt. First (not included in tour from Zurich), and a train back to Interlaken. You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds — guided exploration along the way, with free time for leisure or adventure. Your guide will accompany you to Grindelwald and back from Interlaken. You'll be given a detailed itinerary and train tickets, so you can explore Grindelwald on your own and enjoy a scenic train ride between the two towns.
Once you're at the First, note that access to the First Cliff Walk and First viewing platform is free, but other adventure activities like the First Flyer, First Glider, and Mountain Carts require additional tickets (starting from CHF 21 per activity) or can be bundled into an Adventure Package. These optional activities are subject to availability and weather conditions. Due to their popularity, long waiting times is a norm, and slots cannot be pre-booked, so plan as early as possible.
The weather in the Swiss Alps can change quickly, and certain activities may be canceled for safety reasons. Always check the weather forecast before your trip and be aware that operational cancellations may occur in adverse conditions like extreme cold, rain, wind or snow.
Some activities, such as the Trottibike or a boat cruise on Lake Brienz, are only available during specific seasons, generally till late October. Make sure to check the availability of your desired activities before booking, so you don't miss out.
Grindelwald First is accessible for families, children, wheelchair users, and even dogs. However, some trails and activities may have limitations for wheelchair users. Be sure to confirm which areas are accessible before you go.
While standard round-trip cable car tickets to Mt. First cost around €72 per adult (16+ years), holders of the Swiss Half Fare Card, SBB G.A., or Swiss Travel Pass can enjoy reduced prices, paying around €36.12. For children (6–15 years), tickets cost approximately €21.25, and children under 6 can travel for free.

Plan your Grindelwald First visit

Beat the crowds and catch the first gondola - avoid long lines for activities like the First Flyer and First Glider, enjoy a more peaceful experience and better photo opportunities.
Start your day with the lovely 2-hour round trip hike to Bachalpsee lake. Going early helps you enjoy the serene alpine lake and its mirror-like reflections of the peaks without the midday rush.

With the high altitude, take regular breaks to avoid fatigue and fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery around you.
