Single trail descent from Waldspitz to GrindelwaldPhoto: Daniel Hug www.terragrphy.de;, Daniel Hug www.terragrphy.de;
A scenic loop with a varied descent.
From Grindelwald, the asphalted road winds upwards toward Bussalp. At the Lochsteinen fork, turn right toward Rasthysi. Passing Rasthysi, continue uphill toward Holenwang to Waldspitz. The last meters to the mountain restaurant Waldspitz are no longer asphalted.
With a cool drink, enjoy the Grindelwald mountain world on the terrace of the mountain restaurant Waldspitz. After the refreshment, it goes back down into the valley on the road, hiking trail, and single trail via Aellfluh.

Public transport
Public-transport-friendly
Due 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. Trains run every half hour.
Grindelwald
From Interlaken Ost station, we reach Grindelwald without changing trains by taking the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: board the rear part of the train as it splits at Zweilütschinen. Those boarding at the front end up in Lauterbrunnen. The ride to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Bahn) takes 30 minutes. Three minutes later, we arrive at the terminal station in the village.
There are three stations in Grindelwald (Terminal, Grund, and Dorf). The terminal station (Dorf) is located in the center of Grindelwald.
Directions
The fastest way to the Jungfrau Region from Basel and Geneva leads via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open all year round.
From the south, the arrival leads via Grimsel or Susten Pass to the Jungfrau Region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, the Simplon Pass with subsequent car transport 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 includes some curvy sections.
Parking
Grindelwald
There are three public parking garages: Eiger+ parking garage (252 spaces), Sportzentrum parking garage (160 spaces), and the new Terminal Parking (1000 spaces) of the V-Bahn. Alternatively, we can also use the parking lot in Grindelwald Grund.
