Get to know Grindelwald Ski Resort

Grindelwald, a Swiss Alpine village with roots stretching back to 1146, has evolved into a premier year-round destination. Perched in the Bernese Oberland, it’s flanked by the imposing Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks, offering visitors a dramatic backdrop for their adventures.

The resort’s popularity stems from its versatility. In winter, it’s a skier’s paradise with slopes catering to all levels, from gentle nursery runs to the challenging Lauberhorn. The modern Eiger Express enhances accessibility, whisking visitors to the glacier swiftly.

Summer sees Grindelwald transform into a hiker’s and climber’s mecca. The Glacier Canyon showcases millennia of ice-carved beauty, while the surrounding trails offer everything from leisurely walks to demanding treks.

Grindelwald’s charm extends beyond outdoor pursuits. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the region, including trips to Jungfraujoch.

Skiing and activities in Grindelwald

Tucked away in the Swiss Alps, Grindelwald is more than just a ski resort. The Grindelwald-Wengen area unfurls over 200 kilometres of pistes across three distinct zones, each with its own character. Novices can find their feet on gentle slopes like Bodmi, whilst seasoned skiers might fancy a go at the notorious Lauberhorn run.

But it’s not all about the skiing. The views are proper jaw-droppers – think glaciers and sheer rock faces that’ll make you forget to zip up your jacket. When your legs are knackered, you can refuel at eateries ranging from cosy Swiss chalets to swish international joints. And if you’ve still got energy to burn, the après-ski scene is a right laugh, with quirky spots like an old yellow bus turned bar.

Beginners can start at Bodmi Arena or take lessons from local ski schools. Intermediates will enjoy the sunny slopes of Grindelwald First and the varied terrain of Kleine Scheidegg-Mannlichen.

Advanced skiers can challenge themselves on the famous Lauberhorn downhill or explore off-piste options with guides. The region boasts over 200 km of slopes, modern lifts like the Eiger Express, and family-friendly features such as the Lily Fun Slope. Freestyle enthusiasts can visit the White Elements Snow Park, while those seeking thrills beyond skiing can try the First Flyer zipline or downhill scooter rides.

Non-skiing activities in Grindelwald

Grindelwald offers numerous non-skiing snow activities. Visitors can enjoy rides on the First Flyer zipline or First Glider canopy ride at Grindelwald First mountain station. For a more relaxed experience, snowshoeing trails like the Wetterhorn tour provide scenic walks through snowy landscapes. Sledding enthusiasts can tackle the Big Pintenfritz, Europe’s longest sledding run.

Snow tubing at Bodmi hill offers family-friendly fun, while ice climbing caters to adventurous spirits. The Sportszentrum recreation centre provides indoor activities like swimming. Winter hiking trails around First, Pfingstegg, and Männlichen offer beautiful vistas for those preferring a slower pace.

There’s always something on, from seasonal markets to the quirky snow sculpture festival.

Family-friendly and kids’ fun in Grindelwald

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Top tips for an Alps summer holiday

Here are three practical tips for planning and packing for a summer trip to Grindelwald:

  1. Pack versatile layers: Grindelwald’s mountain weather can be unpredictable, even in summer. Bring breathable, moisture-wicking base layers, a warm fleece or jumper, and a waterproof jacket. Don’t forget sturdy walking shoes for hiking and comfortable trainers for village strolls.

  2. Prepare for outdoor activities: If you plan to hike or bike, pack appropriate gear. This might include a small backpack, reusable water bottle, sun protection (hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen), and any specific equipment you prefer (like hiking poles or bike gloves).

  3. Consider renting equipment: Rather than lugging bulky gear, look into rental options in Grindelwald. Many shops offer quality mountain bikes, e-bikes, and hiking equipment. This can save you packing space and potentially transport costs.
