The name Faulhorn has nothing to do with laziness ("faul" is German for lazy), neither linguistically nor physically. It derives from the word 'fulen', i.e. friable rock. And you can only reach the summit by foot. The two-and-half-hour winter hike from First is, however, highly rewarding: on the one hand due to the panorama and on the other because it is on the Faulhorn (2681 m above sea level) that the world's longest sledging run begins. Once you've pulled your sled up the mountain you can take it easy on the way back via the Bussalp to Grindelwald: there is nothing else to do except steer and brake for the next 15 kilometres.
Walking and hiking on the trails and mountain paths is undertaken at your own responsibility and risk. The operational conditions of the trails are provided as recommendations only.
Adrenaline and panorama: Whether on the First Flyer soaring high above or on the First Cliff Walk along steep rock faces. Adventurers will get their fill – and mountain enthusiasts even more so.
Powder snow and panorama: On 211 kilometres of slopes, you will enjoy pure skiing pleasure against the iconic backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
Whether wholesome and down-to-earth or something a little more refined – from Swiss classics to international favourites: there's something to suit every taste. All accompanied by a stunning view of the Alps.
Speedy curves, snow-covered forests, and breathtaking views: on our sledge runs you glide straight into winter bliss – fun and adventure guaranteed.
