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.
