Why Grindelwald First matters

Above the village of Grindelwald, the First area has a famous cliff walk, a flying-fox ride and trails with views of the Eiger's north face. Walkers can follow the path to Bachalpsee, a small lake that reflects the mountains. It's a family-friendly slice of alpine scenery.

Talking points

  • The cliff walk is a thin platform on the mountainside.
  • Bachalpsee reflects the peaks on calm days.
  • The gondola starts in Grindelwald.
