Spend your Switzerland ski holidays in Grindelwald: Grindelwald is one of the largest resorts in the Bernese Oberland and lies at the foot of the famous north face of the Eiger. Three main ski areas are directly accessible from the village of Grindelwald offering around 200km of varied ski pistes.
The Kleine Scheidegg, reached by cog railway from Grindelwald, is a starting point for some wonderful red and blue ski runs at all levels, with some harder, black ones. From here there is great skiing back to Grindelwald Grund, down to Wengen, or across to the Maennlichen area. From the village there is also direct access to the First area via the Firstbahn Gondola which takes skiers right up to 2,168m. Take the chairlift to Oberjoch at 2,486m offering a large area of blue and red ski runs, mostly south-facing and with fantastic views. It is possible to ski back down to the village at the end of the day - snow conditions permitting. Enjoy unforgettable ski winter holidays in Switzerland.
