Grindelwald-First

Top of Adventure

You gently float up to First in the security of the gondola. But then it gets airy: On the two Flying Fox version, First Flieger and First Glider, at up to 80 km per hour, on the suspension bridge of the First Cliff Walk or on the agile Mountain Carts with the wind in your hair. You simply cannot plan adventure. You find one. On First that is a certainty.

Dream panorama

The mountain panorama is indescribably beautiful. Wherever you look, there is one high mountain after another – it's fantastic. My friend and I had seen photos on the Internet and said to ourselves: we have to go here.
Adventure day trip

First is super for a day trip. We strolled to the Bachalpsee lake and are now on the way back. Now comes the adventurous part: First Flyer, Mountain Carts and Trottibike scooter. I'm looking forward to it!
Clear view and great photo ops

What a wonderful day! We have a crystal clear view of all the mountains. And the sky is reflected in the Bachalpsee lake. The hour-long hike was more than worth it.
