The activity is breathtaking but we were blessed with fabulous wetaher. The actual ride is incredible and the lake and dam along with the views at the top are incredible.
The App and ticketing were very user friendly and the staff were welcoming and very helpful. We will definitely use them again on our next trip.
Loved every bit of the entire experience. Everything was beautiful, precise, memorable. Took back a lifetime of beautiful memories
To be honest I did think it was an expensive trip being from the uk , but on reflection it was amazing , well worth it , the beer on the top was lively .
It was a very seamless process from getting tickets to getting to the activities. The views were breathtaking and spectacular. Highly recommend!!
The ticketing at Grindelwald First is way too complicated for first timer. There is a gondola ticket. There is a combo tickets. There is individual tickets
Excellent information in advance from headout. Thanks and I will refer your sites to others . I will define your online reservation in future
I was able to find all the information I needed before leaving. Just for the weather it would be nice to review the information because it is generally indicated that at this time of year it's env-2 degrees. It was 11. We were overdressed... but the snow boots could have come in handy as some places were still well covered in snow... other shoes could have been essential for the descent to the lake... Otherwise, it was a really great outing

It was an amazing experience , we had lovely weather and the views were breathtaking,I would definitely recommend going up! Very easy to purchase tickets on the website, flawless process throughout.
Lovely smooth journey on the cablecar with breathtaking views. A little pricey but worth it! Will visit again in the future.
Taking the gondola from Grindelwald to First, an incredible experience. Buying tickets online works 5 stars. To remember.

Eagles flying in the mountains? What more could a Tolkien fan want? Although the organizers knew nothing of Tolkien, I made the eagle glider flight my long-dreamed-of Gwaihir flight. Sindarin: Wind Lord was one of the lords of the eagles of the Misty Mountains. And then to snoop a bit in the Silmarillion in this beautiful landscape ... what more could you want? Yes, maybe it would be great if you could make a video or at least a photo of your own flight and if it went up and down twice ...

Quick and easy to book and then walked straight in, scanned our tickets and straight on to a gondola. Very easy and stress free 😃 highly recommend. Great experience too! Went to the top of first - what a place and what a view!
Wonderful landscape, beautiful winter hike to Bachalpsee. I couldn't see on the Firstbahn homepage whether you can get a cell phone ticket, so I booked with your partner. I didn't see on either website that there are special tickets for hikes. I therefore booked a return ticket and paid too much. I only saw this later in the brochure at the cable car.

The tour was pleasant, but what was advertised was a panoramic train ride and that didn't happen. We used an ordinary train from Grindelwald to Interlaken, where some people were left standing. On arrival at the station in Interkaken, the route was long and people were not given a map to get back to the bus parking lot. This caused a lot of stress.

Fantastic experience overall! The hospitality of the hosts (Ambi, Manuel) was lovely along with everything that came with this! I'd definitely recommend this!
The explanation and the way they took us to different places was excellent. Indeed this was one of the best experiences I had
It was spectacular, beautiful views and everything was on time. We loved it and would definitely go back with them on our next trip. Our guide was very friendly and helpful

Cable cart and restaurant on the top of mountain
Official Name: Grindelwald-First
Address: 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland
No: of visitors per year: 500,000 +
Function: Tourist destination known for winter adventure and sports
The First Railway takes you on a gondola ride that offers scenic views of the magnificent mountain village of Grindelwald. Enjoy the visual treat as you go up a mountain in a cable car, with green pastures below, blue skies above and snow-capped mountains around.
Spread your arms and experience flying like an eagle at an altitude of over 2,000 meters with the First Glider. The ride takes up to four people on a 15-minute long gliding flight over the mountainous landscapes at a speed of 72 - 83 km/hr.
‘Sledging on wheels’ is the idea behind Gridelwald’s First Mountain Cart. This all-terrain mountain rider is the perfect combination of a go-kart and a sled. It is specially designed with a low center of gravity to ensure the rider’s safety and comfort, along the 3 Km natural road from Schreckfeld to Bort.
First Flyer, a variant of the Flying Fox, is a seated zipline that goes from First to Shreckfeld. The 800-meter-long cable ride lets you safely, comfortably, and freely whiz away at a speed of 84 km/hr. You can feel the wind and enjoy the breathtaking views as you fly your way down.
As the name suggests, the Trottibike Scooter is a cross between a scooter and a bike, that gives you the best experiences of both worlds. Just step onto the footboard and roll along from Bort to Grindelwald, enjoying the views of the meadows and farmhouses. The attraction also offers Mini-Trottibikes for children.
Lake Bachalpsee, known as the ‘Blue Jewel of the Alps’ is less than an hour’s trek away from the First mountain station. The trek is well worth it, as the reflections of Schreckhorn painted on the waters of the lake is a sight no photo can truly capture in all its beauty.
Admire the beautiful landscape of the Alps as you ride on a bike from First to Grindelwald. Experience riding down an altitude of around 1,100 meters, along a variety of different terrains, stopping as you please to smell the flowers. A train and a gondola can help you and your bike get to the starting point on top, respectively.
Amidst the high mountains, is a fun play area for the tiny tots. The Bort Alpine Playground is designed to be a little adventure for kids, complete with slides, swings, nets, ropes, rockers, and climbers. The 700-square-meter park also features a mountain stream.
The perfect adventure for adrenaline seekers at Grindelwald comes in the form of a cliff walk at a height of almost 2,200 meters. Walk on a 40-meter-long, one-rope suspension bridge and stand on a cantilevered platform amidst the stunning alpine landscape, for a feeling like no other. The surrounding forests, snow-covered mountains, and waterfall are sure to keep you mesmerized through the walk.
