Hike in the mountains of Heidi, past sparkling lakes and green pastures

Hiking in the Swiss Alps.


Grindelwald: Hiking in the Swiss Alps

Ride along a cog rail tunnel through the Jungfrau mountain to Europe's highest railroad station. Hike alongside a mountain lake, distant alpine peaks reflected clearly in its blue waters, then paraglide over the valley. Edge along a catwalk, at the bottom of a towering gorge carved by an ancient glacier. And then figure out how to get that cow to move, so you can pass through the gate.

The meadows, forests, pastures, glaciers, lakes, and mountains above the Alpine village of Grindelwald offer a superb range of hiking trails for both less- and more-experienced hikers. A network of lifts and a cog railroad allow you to travel to remote spots without long hikes, and to tailor your hiking days to be as long, or short, as you wish.
