First Cliff Walk — Attraction in Grindelwald

We visited the First Cliff Walk in Grindelwald in the late afternoon, taking the cable car up around 5:15 PM. The ride up was quite foggy, and we weren’t sure if we’d be able to see anything at the top but thankfully, the clouds began to clear just enough to enjoy the views.

She also recommended for me to get the day ski pass for my 15yo daughter which was cheaper than our adventure package for 2 activities. We had fun doing both activities and did not have to Q at all. The other 2 were not available during winter. Pictures taken here are incredible and definitely worth a visit. We later rented the sledge on the mountain which was good fun but quite dangerous. Be sure to wear non slip shoes and ski pants. We saw a guy with wet jeans and it didn’t look comfortable. A lady wearing converse did not manage to rent a sledge. Be careful of others sledging as they come crashing from behind and brought me...
