Grindelwald Glacier Canyon
Gletscherschlucht Grindelwald
A deep gorge carved by the Lower Grindelwald Glacier. Walkways are built into the cliffs, and a suspended spider-web net lets you lie over the rushing torrent.
The Grindelwald Glacier Gorge was carved by meltwater from the Lower Grindelwald Glacier. Marble and limestone cliffs rise more than 100 m on either side. About 1 km of walkways and tunnels are built into the rock, offering close views of the smoothed rock layers and the rushing glacial water. Halfway along the gorge hangs a large suspended net shaped like a spider's web. You can climb up and lie on it, above the torrent. Adult admission is about CHF 19, and a visit takes about 1 hour. Evening events are occasionally held in summer. Getting there: take a bus toward Gletscherschlucht from the center of Grindelwald, about 10 minutes, or walk downhill for about 30 minutes.
