Pro tips to help you make a pick

The views from Grindelwald First are best on clear days. Before buying your tickets, check the local weather forecast and look at live webcams to ensure you’ll have the best visibility of the stunning mountain scenery.

To skip the hassle of waiting in long ticket lines—which can stretch up to 30 minutes or more in peak season—try booking your gondola tickets online.

You can enjoy the First Cliff Walk and viewing platform for free at Grindelwald First. But for extra adventure—like the First Flyer, First Glider, or Mountain Carts—you’ll need tickets. Alternatively, you can grab an Adventure Package to bundle them together.

It's good to plan your visit around the month that matches your preferred activities, and check availability ahead of time so you don’t miss out. For example, activities like Trottibike or boat cruise on Lake Brienz are only usually available until late October.

If you're heading out from Lucerne or Zurich, a day trip is a great option. It covers everything—scenic coach ride to Grindelwald, a cable car up to Mt. First (though this isn’t part of the Zurich tour), and a train ride back to Interlaken.

An incredible journey to the top of Europe. So well done. A real privilege to see how the tunnel was constructed and honour the men that died building it.

Wonderful experience touring Grindelwald and the lakes region with our awesome tour guide Bruno! He was funny, informative and helped us out with any questions we had during the whole tour. Our favorite part was going to the First mountain peak and walking out over the cliff side. Great experience overall and would definitely recommend!
