Itinerary
Your walking tour begins at Grindelwald Station, where you’ll step into the heart of this charming village. Surrounded by quaint cafes, vintage hotels, and majestic Alpine scenery, it’s the perfect place to start your exploration of Grindelwald.
Next, you’ll take a relaxing stroll around Grindelwald Park. With numerous lively monuments of native animals, the tranquil park offers great photography opportunities. Take some time to learn about the interesting relationship between Grindelwald and its Japanese sister city, Matsumoto, at the unique “Everlasting Friendship” monument.
Continuing along, you’ll stroll through Village Street (Dorfstrasse), the village’s main thoroughfare. As you walk past flower-adorned wooden chalets, you’ll experience the lively atmosphere of local life, with shops, restaurants, and the charming architecture of Grindelwald’s Alpine buildings.
Next, you’ll branch off to the tranquil Roman Catholic Church, tucked away in a peaceful alley. Simple yet elegant in architecture, the off-the-beaten-path church is a serene haven away from the hustle and bustle and provides an interesting glimpse into the Catholic minority in a predominantly Prostestant community.

About Grindelwald
Grindelwald is an Alpine village in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland, below the Eiger's north face, a base for skiing and hiking in the Jungfrau region.
Grindelwald lies in a green valley beneath the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks, with the wall of the Eiger's north face rising almost directly above the village. Chalets with wooden balconies line the main street, cows with bells graze the meadows, and glaciers hang from the upper slopes. The village has been a base for climbers since the nineteenth century.
