The village of Grindelwald nestles beneath the mighty Eiger whose north face overlooks the main ski area at Kleine Scheidegg. It's the 'end of the road' so there's no through traffic! Grindelwald is a lively place but with a relaxed atmosphere and everything seems geared towards ensuring that the guests enjoy their stay. The village has long been a popular choice with the British although you will hear many different languages as you wander along its bustling main street, lined with shops, cosy stüblis and wooden chalets. As well as the vast ski areas of Scheidegg and Männlichen there are also the sunny slopes of the 'First' area.

Toboggan There's a popular 8km toboggan run from the rustic restaurant up at Bussalp which is reached by post bus from the village. This is an exciting 'must' one afternoon when you come back from the ski slopes and a few glasses of gluhwein before you start the descent does not go amiss! Ask at the reception desk for the times of the post bus. The full run, the world's longest from Faulhorn to Grindelwald via Bussalp, is 15km, with a 1,600m drop in altitude.

Walking Over 80km of paths kept open all winter. Take the train up to Kleine Scheidegg and follow the path down to Grund. There is also a path from Männlichen to Scheidegg and First - Waldspitz - Bort for the more active walker. Details and map are available from the hotel reception desk. A non-skiers lift pass is available.

Après Ski

Lively and abundant extending from the informal to the sophisticated. Grindelwald has an easy going, relaxed atmosphere with stüblis, bars, discos and live music. There really is something for everyone here. The Mescalero is a popular venue for music and dancing as is the Gepsi Bar, Cava Bar and Le Plaza Club whilst the rustic Chälli Bar close by the station is a popular apres ski spot between 16.30 & 19.00 with a 'gemütlich' ambience and usually live music. The bar at the Grand Hotel Regina offers a more sophisticated atmosphere. Try the hot chocolate and pastries at the C & M or take a horse drawn sleigh ride out into the countryside. Bowling alley & cinema whilst from time to time there are exciting ice hockey matches at the sports centre.
