This village is another great starting point when traveling through Bernese Oberland. There are so many attractions in and around Grindelwald. The experiences can vary from day to day (and season to season) since there are so many different activities and sights to see in the area. You could really spend a whole week here. We started our journey to Jungfraujoch from the Grindelwald Terminal via the Eiger Express. It's the fastest way to get to Eiger Glacier station. There are some amazing views of Grindelwald and the Eiger during this 15 minute ride. After that, we walked through the main part of town to take in the Alpine scenery all around us. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels decorated with flowering plants. They could all be that beautiful postcard picture with the Swiss chalet and mountain backdrop. It's no wonder why this has become a very popular resort village. Even the views between the houses and shops were amazing. It was a dream come true. A place that we always wanted to visit together. A very happy place! read more

This small mountain village is freaking awesome. Grindelwald is in the Bernese Oberland (Jungfrau Region) of the canton of Bern. Eiger mountain in the background is awe inspiring. It is by far one of the most photogenic alpine backdrops in the world. You gotta visit in person to appreciate the view. Photos are not enough. Visiting in winter is even more stunning as the town is covered in snow - it's damn beautiful. read more

We had such a great time in Grindelwald!!! We went up to Grindelwald first using the firstbahn to get to the top. Once there, we enjoyed a self service lunch and enjoyed the views at the first view vantage platform. After that, we hiked about 30 min down to Schreckfield to get in line for the mountain carts. The line took ~45 min. The carts were SO FUN!! You can't use your phone in the bikes, but I wish I could have because of how gorgeous the views were. After taking the carts down to Bort, we transitioned to the trottibikes and biked down the rest of the mountain, which was also super fun! Again, gorgeous views and a beautiful trail to follow. Once at the bottom, we got snacks and drinks at Basecamp while enjoying more of the views. We had such an incredible day in Grindelwald and highly recommend it. We hope to be back some day! read more

Beautiful nice quaint village. Beautiful mountain backdrops with snow on the top. Nice train statio to commute between Interlaken. There are a lot of mountain activities here, so plan ahead of time to visit here early as some of the activities get closed around 6 pm. If you can stay here for a few days it's even better !!! read more

Great excursion/activity day in Grindelwald. I would recommend purchasing the unlimited gondola + 2 activity pass. Our favorite activity were the mountain carts down the mountain, be careful as they can reach some fast speeds! Be prepared for some lines while at the top, but ours moved relatively quickly. The cows at the top are also a Switzerland must see. You are able to walk freely with them which was pretty cool. They charge, so don't touch. Overall a great experience for family, friends or as a couple. read more

The most amazing place I have ever visited! An absolute must-visit if you are in the area. It is far and away the best way to take in the environment, a quick walk from the train station and there is even a co-op grocery store on the way so you can grab snacks before heading up the mountain. Very easy to hop on the gondola and begin looking out the window in awe. Plenty of seating up at the top of the lift with a large deck overlooking the mountains. The deck even had waitress service so you could order food while taking in the views. I would recommend getting there early as lines for attractions can be long and definitely buy tickets ahead of time so you can just head up the lift. Tickets are half off if you have Eurail pass. read more
