Selected alternatives for you

    A winter training route suitable for beginners and advanced thanks to the option to shorten it. Can be complemented from Bussalp with a sled ride back to Grindelwald.

    From Grindelwald, take the path towards Mühlebach to then ascend to Bort on the winter hiking trail. Those who want to shorten the route can also take the gondola lift of the Firstbahn to the Bort middle station. From there, the signed winter hiking trail continues mostly through the forest to Restaurant Rasthysi. Between the trees, you can repeatedly catch a glimpse of the impressive panorama with the Eiger as the focal point. Through gentle ups and downs, you finally reach the Bussalp. Here you can relax wonderfully on the sun terrace before returning to Grindelwald by sled (rental directly at Bussalp), on foot, or by bus.
