    A long but pleasant ascent over asphalt roads and field paths leads you via the Grosse Scheidegg to First. On a rather difficult trail, you ride to Schreckfeld. From there, the gravel road passes a small lake on the left and leads to Grindelwald.

    Public transport

    Public-transport-friendly

    Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travelers from Zurich change trains in Bern. The trains run every half hour.

    Grindelwald

    From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Grindelwald without changing trains via the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: board the rear part of the train, as it splits at Zweilütschinen. Boarding the front leads to Lauterbrunnen. The ride takes 30 minutes to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Bahn). Three minutes later, we are at the final station in the village.

    Grindelwald has three stations (Terminal, Grund, and Dorf). The final station (Dorf) is located in the center of Grindelwald.

    Directions

    The fastest way to the Jungfrau Region from Basel and Geneva is via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open year-round.

    From the south, arrival is via Grimsel or Susten Pass into the Jungfrau Region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass with subsequent car shuttle through the Lötschberg tunnel is an option.

    Grindelwald

    From Interlaken, we follow the main road to Zweilütschinen. Here we turn left towards Grindelwald. The whole drive takes about 30 minutes and goes over a partly winding road.

    Parking

    Grindelwald

    There are three public parking garages: Parkhaus Eiger+ (252 spaces), Parkhaus Sportzentrum (160 spaces), and the new Terminal Parking (1000 spaces) of the V-Bahn. Alternatively, we can also use the parking lot in Grindelwald Grund.
