    Safety information

    Rope safety devices have been installed at the most difficult points, but you can't hold on to irons everywhere. And: the stirrups are only placed where they are really necessary. The via ferrata is only suitable for people with a really sure footing, a good head for heights and some strength in their arms. The route is marked with red dots and cairns.

    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. Travellers from Zurich change trains in Bern. Trains run every half hour.

     

    From Interlaken Ost station, you can reach Grindelwald without changing trains on the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB). Important: Get on the back of the train as it splits in Zweilütschinen. If you get on at the front, you will end up in Lauterbrunnen. The journey takes 30 minutes to Grindelwald Terminal (V-Cableway). Three minutes later we are at the terminus in the village.

    There are three railway stations in Grindelwald (Terminal, Grund and Dorf). The terminus (village) is located in the centre of Grindelwald.

    Directions

    From Basel and Geneva, the quickest route to the Jungfrau Region is 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 journey to the Jungfrau Region is via the Grimsel or Susten Pass. Both passes are only open in summer. An alternative is the Simplon Pass with subsequent car transport through the Lötschberg tunnel.

    From Interlaken we follow the main road to Zweilütschinen. Here we turn left towards Grindelwald. The whole journey takes about 30 minutes and leads along a partly winding road.

    Parking

    There are three public car parks: Eiger+ car park (252 parking spaces), Sportzentrum car park (160 parking spaces) and the new V-Cableway terminal car park (1000 spaces). Alternatively, we can also use the car park in Grindelwald Grund.
