Grindelwald Winter: Sledding and Snowy Peaks in
Stay in Grindelwald in winter for the First snow trails, the Jungfrau, the Schilthorn and the Männlichen sled run: play in the snow and take in the mountains.
Interlaken's low altitude means snow is unreliable in winter, so this winter route is based in Grindelwald, with the ski area at your door. Over five days you'll try First's winter trails and sledding, ride the Eiger Express up the Jungfraujoch, go up the Schilthorn, sled down the Männlichen run, and in the evening you can also go night sledding at Bussalp. No skiing skills are needed, so it suits couples and friends visiting in winter.
The First gondola only opens in mid-December, and the sled runs open depending on snow cover
