16 Feb Grindelwald First
Grindelwald First, Top of Adventure. A popular and beautiful excursion destination for young and old. It is not only the beautiful nature and areas that captivate, but also the wonderful view of Grindelwald and the mountains opposite.
Hot facts about the First
The ridge lies at 2184 meters above sea level and is a flattening of the southwest ridge to the Widderfeldgrätli. Mountains became particularly famous through the claim “Top of Adventure” and through the marketing of the Jungfrau Railway. The First is considered a place to be by younger and more relaxed people and is also often preferred by Grindelwalders. Through the Cliff Walk you have a wonderful panoramic view of the mountains, Eiger, Wetterhorn, Grosse Scheidegg, Mettenberg and many more.
A trip on the First can only be recommended and is in our opinion a “must see” on every trip to Grindelwald.
