Grindelwald holidays

A stunning, popular resort with snow-capped mountains

Grindelwald holidays equal pure Alpine air, breathtaking scenery, permanently snow-capped mountains and plenty of shops. This popular, busy and beautiful resort is also known as the 'Glacier Village' and is located in a sheltered valley overshadowed by the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn and the north face of Eiger. The glaciers here are incredibly accessible and extend deep into the valley. Set at 3,335 feet, Grindelwald is home to a six-seater gondola that will take you up to First, and also the romantic Glacier Gorge and the mystical Blue Ice Grotto. The region is rich in traditional folklore and abundant in music and mountain festivities and hiking and mountain paths.

Entertainment

The main street is lined with bars, cafés and restaurants as well as the popular snow bars at the end of the slopes, plus many hotels are hosts to live music.

Excursions

A must from Grindelwald is the journey to the Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, with a visit to the incredible ice palace and Schilthorn-Piz Gloria - an impressive revolving restaurant with the most spectacular 360º panorama in the Alps. Perhaps take an exciting helicopter trip from Lauterbrunnen over the Alps and view the awesome Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. There is no better way to see the mountains than by helicopter, an adventure you will never forget. 25 minute flight £166 per person (minimum 4 people).

Tipping

Not expected as hotel restaurants are legally obliged to include a service charge of around 15% on bills. Even taxis usually have an added charge.
