Grindelwald, nestled in the Bernese Oberland beneath the iconic north face of the Eiger, is one of Switzerland’s most picturesque ski resorts.
Part of the Jungfrau Ski Region, it offers access to over 200 kilometres of slopes shared with Wengen and Mürren, making it an appealing destination for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. Beginners will find gentle practice areas and wide pistes, intermediates can enjoy long scenic runs with breathtaking views, and advanced riders can tackle steeper descents and off-piste opportunities. Snowboarders are well catered for with terrain parks and freeride zones, while the resort itself combines traditional Swiss alpine charm with modern facilities.
Accommodation in Grindelwald is varied, with options ranging from luxury hotels and spa resorts offering wellness and fine dining, to cosy mid-range hotels and traditional chalets with rustic alpine character. Families and groups will find plenty of self-catering apartments, while budget travellers can choose from hostels, B&Bs, and guesthouses. Many properties are conveniently located near lifts or connected via efficient transport links.
