Sky-High Thrills, Not Just for Daredevils
- Perched on the edge of the First Mountain in Grindelwald, this 300-meter-long metal walkway isn't for the faint of heart. But don't worry, even if you're not a seasoned climber, the First Cliff Walk is designed to be accessible to most visitors. The walkway is well-maintained and features safety nets and railings, so you can enjoy the spectacular views without unnecessary fear.
- More Than Just a Walk in the Park The First Cliff Walk is more than just a path; it's an experience. As you stroll along the walkway, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, including the majestic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. Look down and you'll see the lush valley below, dotted with charming villages and meandering rivers. It's a scene straight out of a postcard but with the added thrill of being suspended high above it all.
- Beyond the Cliff, the Adventure Continues The First Cliff Walk is just one part of the First Mountain experience. Once you've conquered the walkway, you can explore the various activities offered at the summit. Take a ride on the First Glider, a paragliding experience that will have you soaring through the air like an eagle. Or, challenge yourself with the First Flieger, a zipline that will send you racing down the mountainside at exhilarating speeds.
Planning Your Cliff-Hanging Fun
- Getting There: Grindelwald is easily accessible by train or car. From the village, take the gondola to First Station, where the Cliff Walk begins. Opening Hours: The Cliff Walk is open year-round, but the opening hours vary depending on the season. Check the official website for up-to-date information. Tickets: You can purchase tickets online or at the First Station ticket office. Remember, tickets for the Cliff Walk are separate from the gondola ride. What to Wear: Comfortable shoes with good grip are essential. Dress in layers as the weather can change quickly in the mountains. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also recommended. Safety First: While the Cliff Walk is safe, it's important to be cautious and follow the safety instructions. Don't run, jump, or lean over the railings.
- Conquering Your Fears, One Step at a Time The First Cliff Walk is an experience that will stay with you long after you've left the mountain. It's a chance to face your fears, push your limits, and create memories that will last a lifetime. So, take a deep breath, step onto the walkway, and prepare to be amazed!
