What To Expect

Grindelwald-First

The trip is unguided, you may just board the gondola. You find the location/GPS of the departure station on Google and on the Jungfrau Railways website. You gently float up to First in the security of the gondola. On the sunny side of the Grindelwald Valley the aerial cableway leads from the glacier village of Grindelwald to First at 2168 m above sea level. The wide variety and exciting attractions found in this region include the First Cliff Walk by Tissot and the hike to the Lake Bachalpsee, which is known as the pearl of mountain lakes. First Flyer, First Glider, scooter-bike rides, First Mountain Cart are also fun activities to purchase and enjoy when on top! You simply cannot plan adventure. You find one. On First that is a certainty.

Entry was easy, once you know ow to go to the gate and scan your code to get in. Unfortunately, it rained so we couldn't see all the views.

This was so amazing. We loved every minute and especially the tottie bike. I'm 65 and it was absolutely easy for me. I would do it again if I could! Much better than the gondola down!

Weronika provided an exceptional experience for us on the Cheese and Chocolate tour! She knows the area very well and told us much about the Swiss Mountains above Grindelwald! Also, we tasted the different cheeses that are made in the region and the chocolate too was so delicious!
Beyond our expectations

We were amazed at the length of time we were in the gondola - over 30 minutes of watching beauty as we slowly rose above the tree line. Then the trails at the top were so well taken care of and so many going off in different directions.
