Explore Grindelwald

Grindelwald-First is the 2,166 m top station of the Firstbahn gondola, which climbs from Grindelwald via Bort and Schreckfeld. At the summit the First Cliff Walk runs along the rock face to a platform that projects 45 m over the drop. A trail leads in under an hour to the Bachalpsee lake, and the First Flyer zip line descends towards Schreckfeld.

The Jungfraujoch is a glacier saddle at 3,463 m between the Jungfrau and the Mönch. Since 1912 the Jungfrau Railway has climbed to it through a tunnel in the Eiger and the Mönch, ending at a station at 3,454 m. A lift rises to the Sphinx terrace at 3,571 m above the Aletsch Glacier, and the complex also holds an Ice Palace and a glacier plateau.

Schynige Platte is a mountain ridge and viewpoint at about 2,000 metres above Wilderswil, reached since 1893 by a cogwheel railway from Wilderswil to a top station at 1,967 metres. Beside the station is a botanical alpine garden, opened in 1929, with around 800 Swiss alpine plant species, and short trails lead to viewpoints over the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau and Lake Brienz.

Staubbach Falls is a waterfall just west of Lauterbrunnen village that drops about 297 m from a hanging valley over overhanging cliffs. Much of the water turns to spray before it reaches the valley floor. A visit in 1779 inspired Goethe's poem Gesang der Geister über den Wassern, and a path leads to the foot of the fall in summer.

Trümmelbach Falls are ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside a mountain in the Lauterbrunnen valley. The stream drains the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and carries up to 20,000 litres per second in summer. A tunnel lift, galleries and stairways, opened from 1877 onwards, lead visitors past the falls inside the rock.
