What to Do at Grindelwald-First

Grindelwald First Cable Car

Cable Car

When you arrive in Grindelwald, begin your adventure by taking a scenic gondola ride to Grindelwald First, the highest station. With a bird's eye view of the surrounding mountains, enjoy passing through grassy pastures with cows and goats. Grindelwald will appear smaller and smaller as you climb higher. The 25-minute ride takes you via Bort, Schreckfeld, and Grindelwald First, all of which are at an elevation of 2168 meters.

Grindelwald First Glider

First Glider

If you were looking for a thrilling activity that can be performed with a group, this activity is the right fit for you. First Glider involves a modified canopy that is attached to a ropeway and four seats. These secure seats make this activity the right mix of fun and safe. First Glider starts near the Schrekfeld gondola station and after about two minutes of zipping through the mountainous locale, you end up close to where you began.

Grindelwald First Flyer

First Flyer

With the snowy mountain peaks surrounding you and an amazing view of the Schreckfeld station visible, this zip-lining activity will feel like a new experience. The best time to perform this activity will be when the mountains are snowcapped. Unlike most zip lines, this one has a seat that is both comfortable and stable. Under the influence of gravity, you will reach Schreckfeld station in about two minutes. Since there are four seats, First Flyer is particularly enjoyable for families.

Grindelwald First Mountain Cart

First Mountain Cart

Mountain carts are a fun supplement to the downhill adventure. The mountain track, which runs from the Schreckfeld station to the Bort station, is a mix of rough gravel sections and smoother grassy sections with cement grids. It will be difficult to keep your eyes on the road owing to the spectacular scenery. You can ride down to Bort in about 30 minutes, return your carts, and take some time to relax in the beauteous locale around you.

Trottibike Scooter Grindelwald First

Trottibike Scooter

If you can believe it, the Trottibike Scooter is the most adventurous activity for descending the mountain. They are essentially stand-up scooters with a pair of hand brakes. Even though you can zip through the paved roads, we recommend that you take your time and enjoy the scenery. The asphalt path will take you through farms with cows, mountain huts, and green pastures filled with yellow wildflowers. Trottibike Scooter might as well take you through the most beautiful part of the downhill journey.

Grindelwald First Cliff Walk By Tissot

First Cliff Walk By Tissot

If you are feeling adventurous, check out First Cliff Walk By Tissot. This is a one-way cliff walk that starts to the right of the gondola station. The metal catwalk provides a stunning view of the Eiger. If you are brave enough to look down, a terrifying view of the abyss below will be waiting for you. This activity may not be everyone’s cup of team, so take a call once you see the cliff. There is no shame in admiring the audacious nature of this activity from the sidelines.

Lake Bachalpsee Grindelwald

Lake Bachalpsee

Amidst the host of high and medium thrill activities, the sense of serenity to Grindelwald First is brought by Lake Bachalpsee. Located just a short walk from Grindelwald First gondola station, this mountain lake epitomizes the natural beauty of Switzerland and Grindelwald. Not only is this lake charming, but it is also accessible to most via a picturesque mountain trail with little to no gain in elevation. If you are planning to go on this hike, though, make sure to do it as early in the day as possible as it tends to get crowded.

Grindelwald first bort alpine playground

Bort Alpine Playground

Grindelwald First is a great place to visit with families. Numerous activities would pique the interest of kids, but nothing beats a good old playground surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Bort Alpine Playground is located near the Bort gondola station and is known for its abundant swingsets, balancing frames, climbing exercises, and more. You can let your children have fun at the playground while you relax before your next activity.

Bike Tour To Grindelwald
