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.

Must do in Grindelwald. Get there when it opens if you are in Grindelwald in July. It starts getting very crowded around 11:00 and the cliff walk is packed by then. The two extra rides you can do up top are very fun and exciting but were both over 1 hour waits and one was 2 hours. If you’ve never done these two get there early and get in line and do them first. We’ve been in early June and was much more relaxing. But , it’s still amazing. The short ( 1hr and 25 minute) round trip hike to the lake is worth it. Many great views and places to sit and enjoy Gods’s creation. We ate lunch up top at the restaurant and it was really good. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The ride going up is...

The ride going up is amazing, the view is great! At the top there was a restaurant with a great view of the alps which offers i think cheaper food than the other restaurants we tried in switzerland. The queue in the platform for picture taking is long when we went there in April.

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!
