Skiing in Grindelwald

As part of the Jungfrau Ski Region, Grindelwald provides direct access to two main ski areas: Grindelwald-First and Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen, connecting seamlessly to neighboring Wengen. The introduction of the state-of-the-art Eiger Express tricable gondola has revolutionized mountain access, dramatically cutting travel times to the slopes. The skiing terrain heavily favors intermediates, with long, sweeping red runs, but also features world-class snowparks and dedicated beginner zones at village level.

Beyond skiing, Grindelwald is a true winter wonderland offering an extensive array of non-ski activities. From miles of winter hiking trails and Europe's longest sledging runs to the thrilling First Flyer and the high-altitude rail journey to the Jungfraujoch—the Top of Europe—the resort delivers a complete and unforgettable Swiss mountain vacation.

Grindelwald's skiing is divided into the sunny First area, renowned for its snowpark and long intermediate cruisers, and the expansive Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen area. Skiers can carve down wide, scenic pistes directly beneath the imposing Eiger North Face, while beginners have access to excellent learning zones right in the village.

A world-renowned UNESCO World Heritage area famous for the mighty Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks and its spectacular mountain railways.
