Overview
Can you imagine how long it takes for ice to carve a 300m deep gorge in rock? It's really quite incomprehensible, and an awesome sight to see. This is one truly impressive feat of nature. You can now walk 1km into the gorge via a wooden walkway and explore the unique rock formations and tunnels. You will find information points along the way to learn about the unique history of the Glacier Canyon. This is the perfect all-weather activity for all ages. It's easy to access and can be added to most of your day trips in the area.

Glacier Canyon - Gletscherschlucht
Admission included
It took 250 million years for Mother Nature to carve out this incredible canyon! Sadly the lower glacier no longer exists, but the canyon itself is now thriving as a popular destination for a unique sensory walk through its exposed rock galleries and tunnels. The rushing water cascades freely from the mountains into the Lütschine River below, sometimes causing a sudden rush of wind through the canyon and a rapid temperature flux as rays of light reflect along the steep walls.

Good activity
We really enjoyed this activity when in Grindelwald and would recommend it. It’s about an hour activity and the bus from town centre was €6 return.

Cool canyon and interesting glacier information
Really interesting hike through the canyon with great information about the glacier's retreat over the years. Also, there is a fun net to walk on over the glacier water if you chose to do so.

Easy walk through the...
Easy walk through the canyon. Better to wear shoes that are securely attached to your feet for the net over river - my boys wore crocs and we almost lost one in the river!

Good family excursion
Really interesting walk through the canyon, our daughter loved walking out over the fast flowing water. Felt it was good value for money, easy to book and very easy to get to on the local bus.

Nice pleasant walk
Nice stroll thru the canyon, doesn’t take to long 🚶2 hours walking very slow. My 6 year old son loved the spiders web suspended over the river between the two canyon faces. Take a jumper as the temperature dropped a lot thru out the canyon walk. Shame they haven’t continues the walkway to the glacier.
