Area Profile
Grindelwald
Set amidst the Jungfrau mountain range, Grindelwald offers over 158kms of well-marked pistes. The resort village remains totally unspoilt and boasts a long tradition of hospitality and friendliness. Grindelwald is dotted with chocolate box chalets, yet the centre has a bustling and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The main area of the slopes is shared with nearby Wengen. Experts can try the famous Lauberhorn downhill piste, or the fearsome Black Rock run which starts at the base of the Eiger. The Jungfrau Top Ski Region ski pass covers 213kms of pistes, providing unlimited scope for intermediates on a range of relaxing runs or more testing routes down the Kleine Scheidegg mountain. There are nursery slopes for beginners in Wengen and just above Grindelwald.
There is a good variety of restaurants to suit all tastes from quiet and informal to lively.
