Grindelwald

Grindelwald spreads across a green bowl directly beneath the Eiger's infamous north face, which looms over the high street like a permanent weather report.

About this place

It's busier than Wengen but earns it: the First cable car opens the cliff walk and the ludicrously pretty trail to Bachalpsee, where the Schreckhorn doubles itself in still water. Come in June for wildflowers and working farms, and use the swift Eiger Express to dodge the queues for the glacier trains.
