Grindelwald lies at the base of the Jungfrau ski region, with 155km of local slopes served by a fleet of increasingly modern lifts, affording access to terrain across two varied areas.

The main slopes are shared with the neighbouring resort of Wengen, and there is conveniently a separate area of sunny pistes on First. The resort also provides some of the best off-snow diversions of any in the Alps. A trip up to Jungfraujoch is a must, and, in addition, the resort boasts Europe’s longest sledging run and an extensive network of mountain walking trails.

Pros and cons

Fantastic scenery dominated the the Eiger’s North Face
Large intermediate ski area
Lots to do off the slopes, especially for tobogganing and winter walking
Easy to get to using the train network

Slow train links between areas, but new gondolas will dramatically improve this
Most of the challenges for advanced skiers are off piste
Village can be shady in the heart of winter
Low-altitude resort runs can struggle for snow, but snowmaking has helped

On the Slopes

The major area of slopes is shared with Wengen and offers a mix of a few wooded runs and much more extensive open slopes – all served by fast lifts. The smaller First area is mainly above the treeline but offers sunny runs, great views and is also home to a top-class terrain park and ski cross course. Note that several areas are designated as skier-free wildlife reserves, where you may well spot chamois.

For Beginners

The Bodmi nursery slope at the bottom of First is scenic but not particularly convenient. Snow quality can also suffer from the sun and the low altitude, and fast skiers and tobogganers racing through are off-putting. Kleine Scheidegg has a better, higher beginner area and splendid long runs to progress to, served by the railway.

For Intermediates

In good snow, First makes a fantastic intermediate playground. On the other side, nearly all the runs from Kleine Scheidegg are long blues or gentle reds – great cruising terrain. On the Männlichen there’s a choice of gentle but not very varied runs down to the mid-station of the gondola – and in good snow, down to the bottom. For tougher pistes, head for the top of the Lauberhorn lift, to Wixi or the north-facing runs from Eigergletscher served by the Eigernordwand six-pack – these often have the best snow late in the season.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

The area is quite limited for experts, but there is some fine off piste if the snow is good. One of our favourite runs after fresh snow is the Bort Direct black run from First. Heli-trips can also be organised to the high peaks above the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

In the Resort

The central buildings are mainly in traditional chalet style, in keeping with the resort’s long mountaineering history. The village can feel very jolly at times, especially when events are going on in town or up on the slopes. Although the road through goes nowhere, traffic can sometimes be intrusive.

For Families

It’s not the most convenient place for families because of its spread-out nature. However, the sheer variety of off-slope activities make this a good bet for families not looking to spend their whole holidays on skis or on a snowboard. For the younger ones, Snowli Kids Clubs are based at both Bodmi (First) and at the top of Männlichen.

For Après

Tipirama – a wigwam at Kleine Scheidegg, sometimes with DJs and live bands – is a fun place immediately after skiing. There are various (mainly open air) bars to stop in on the way down to Grund. The liveliest are the Rancher on run 22, which attracts a young crowd, the Holzerbar on run 21 and the Aspen Hotel a little further down the hill.

In town, the terrace of the C&M Café und Mehr is good for coffee and cake. Later on, there’s live music in several bars and hotels, such as the Challibar in the Hotel Kreuz & Post, but it isn’t a place for bopping until dawn. The Espresso bar in the Spinne Hotel is lively and the Gepsi Bar in the Eiger is a favourite. Both the Mescalero in the Spinne and Plaza in the Sunstar are popular clubs.

Getting to Grindelwald

The efficient and scenic Swiss Railways system is the easiest way to get up to Grindelwald – just be prepared to change trains a few times. Zürich and Basel airports are around three hours away, with the trip from Geneva taking around four hours. Driving from the airports takes a similar amount of time, but it is a long trip from Calais – also be sure to pre-book parking in Lauterbrunnen during busy weeks.

Zürich airport: 3 hours
Basel airport: 3 hours
Geneva airport: 4 hours
Calais: approximately 10 hours driving (548 miles)

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 07/04

After a good couple of weeks for the Swiss Alps, particular after the arrival of a series of Nordstau events, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.

Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the Swiss Alps.

A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
