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.

5.00This 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!
Fun excursion on the mountain

5.00Weronika 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

5.00We 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.
Stunning views!

5.00Stunning views from the top! Easy entry due to electronic tickets, we were able to skip the line since we already had tickets. Suggestions would be to list directions to the tour in the description. I had to call the tour provider and was told where the tour was. If it’s your first time in Switzerland, you may need some direction. But overall, great experience and well worth it!
Overall an exciting trip with unbelievable views.
