If in the area, you must take the opportunity to go between Grindelwald to Wengen via Maennlichen. Take the time to hike up to the top. The view is breathtaking.

The city is calm, but has everything you look for. Resturants are nice, sevouneer shops are many, Migros and other small shops. We stayed in a Swiss Chalet managed by the owner, who... More

No words can describe the wonderful views from this cableway. You leave the valley behind and climb up into the alpine pastures. Choose your path down to the halfway station as you ride up to the top. Watch out for wildlife as to ride up or just enjoy the views. Always a pleasure summer or winter.

A wide variety of runs, good - if expensive - restaurants and lots of fun to be had on skis. Try taking time off from skiing and going to 'Top of Europe' by train. Amazing views.

We just love Grindelwald in winter when it snows. The mountains are magnificent ! Chalet Saphir overlooks the mountains and we love watching the skiers come down the mountain. My favourite is watching the little train crawling up and down the mountain.

The whole thing was wonderful. You need some walking boots. A four mile cable car ride and views to remember all your life.

Easy to access gondola base by bus from Grindelwald, bus every 15 mins. Small gondola cars, 4 maximum, and ride takes 25-30 mins to highest point. There are 2 or 3 great runs down to base area but not to gondola start point. You then have to decide whether to walk 6-7 mins back round to gondola start point, and... More

Trip up is a bit slow (25 minutes) but there is an excellent ski area for very small children and 2 good restaurants.
