About Grindelwald First

If you want to be at the Top of Adventure then Grindelwald First is the place you must go to. Being a part of the Jungfrau region and located at an altitude of 2166m, not only do you get magnificent views of the Eiger North Face, but also a definite adrenaline rush with the activities it offers. Like most mountains, you must go up to the peak by cable car, but unlike most mountains, you experience a completely different side of things on the way down.

Instead of coming down by cable car, you can come down in the most exciting ways as follows:

Schreckfeld to Bort

Ride down this 3 km route in your very own mountain cart which is offers the best of a sled and a go-kart. Ramble down any terrain and at your own speed once you are settled in with your helmet (offered free). The mountain cart is also suitable for children 135 cm or more in height

Bort to Grindelwlad

Relive childhood memories as you step on to the wide footboard of your trottibike scooter. Stand upright and roll downhill as fast or slow as you like. Make sure you spend a few moments to just stop and stare at the serene views or hear the cows moo in nearby meadows.

With the Bernese Oberland Railway, you can reach Grindelwald station. From there, in the First Railway, from the valley station in the upper village centre in three sections to Grindelwald First by cable car.

Sledging is too much fun to do it only in winter. This is what the inventors of the mountain cart said: A cross between go-kart and sled. It travels down the mountain on almost any terrain and is safe, comfortable and also suitable for children from 135 cm in height. The centre of gravity is low, the wheels are wide apart, and hydraulic brakes ensure that you can keep the speed under control over long distances.The same applies to the three kilometre long natural road from Schreckfeld to Bort: sledging on wheels, all summer long.
