Cliff Walk with Family and Best Buddy
Great experience!! Angela & Dave were very informative. Our driver Jose was very talented and kept us all safe in the narrow and winding roads. Thank You!

Beautiful Valley Views
My preconceived notion of Grindelwald First was of a commercialised & advertised activity that may not really be worth. However, when I reached the top after a very long Gondola ride, the views on practically all sides are mesmerising.

A piece of mountain in the clouds
Great experience with nice service. Long queue but it went fast. Even without tickets bought beforehand.

A walk with added cheese!
Arrived at about 9, having parked a 5 minute walk away in Grindelwald. We bought tickets on the day to ensure weather was OK. Queue up to first was OK, but back down at the end of the day was really busy - glad we had not walked down to Bort as planned as may have struggled to get on a gondola - maybe OK if you don’t mind splitting up and travelling down individually. We walked to the lake - a bit of a walking super-highway - but then walked down part way to Bort (to where the houses started and before the tree switchback path started) then back across to the First gondola station. This was much less busy and a nice walk, but a bit more demanding on the path up to the gondola station - I wouldn’t have attempted it in trainers! A lovely walk back, and bought some Alp cheese from a random fridge on the way!
