    Great route with fantastic views of the valley. The length can be adjusted as the trail passes the middle station of the First gondola halfway.

    After starting in the village, this trail ascends towards Aellfluh. From there, it continues with a beautiful view of the valley to Bort, where the middle station of the gondola is located. A large playground for children makes this place an ideal family meeting point. Those who want to run the full 14.7 kilometers now follow the trail towards Schwendibiel and then over Moos back to the starting point.

    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 on the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: Board the rear part of the train as it splits in Zweilütschinen. Boarding the front part leads to Lauterbrunnen. The journey takes 30 minutes to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Bahn). Three minutes later, we arrive at the final station in the village.

    In Grindelwald, there are 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 goes via Bern. From Zurich, the route via Lucerne and the Brünig Pass is recommended. The pass is open year-round.

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

    Grindelwald

    From Interlaken, we follow the main road to Zweilütschinen. Here we turn left towards Grindelwald. The entire drive takes about 30 minutes and includes some winding sections.

    Parking

    Grindelwald

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