Grindelwald

Visiting Grindelwald for a ski holiday you will find a hospitable glacier village, surrounded by the snow covered mountain tops of Wetterhorn, Eiger and Mönch. Situated in the Bernese Oberland, Grindelwald ski resort is Switzerland’s hot spot for tobogganing. The run that leads down from the Faulhorn to Grindelwald is the longest toboggan run in the Alps (15 km length). Certainly, if you come to Grindelwald for skiing you’ll find good conditions, too. It is not for nothing that many winter sports events have been held in the Swiss ski resort. In addition to its alpine slopes Grindelwald also offers an area for cross-country skiing.
