Overview
Spend a full day in the Bernese Oberland on this 12‑hour excursion to Grindelwald First. Travel by shared coach from Zurich, Lucerne or Interlaken into dramatic valley scenery, ride the First aerial cable car to the summit area and walk the suspended First Cliff Walk by Tissot. The itinerary is paced for sightseeing and short vantage‑point walks rather than long alpine hikes.
What to expect
Your day includes a seat‑in‑coach transfer from your selected departure city with photo stops en route to Grindelwald. On arrival you take the roundtrip First aerial cable car to the summit area. At the top you'll be able to walk the cliff‑side First Cliff Walk, step onto short viewpoint trails for broad panoramas of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, and return to Grindelwald village for time to shop, grab a refreshment or take photos before the coach returns you to your departure city.
