Visitor Reviews of Grindelwald

Ben Bland from GREECE writes:

Grindelwald is one of the best places I have ever skid and I have skid in many. The North Face of the Eiger dominates the resort with the Shreckhorn, Wetterhorn, Monch and Jungfrau. The skiing is superb in four different areas. 'First' is the name of the area exclusive to Grindelwald. It is an open ski area similar to those found in France. The runs back down into the village are first class and you are soon reminded that you are skiing in Switzerland as you ski through the trees and cow shed back to the picturesque village. Kleinne Scheidegg and Manlichen can be accessed from Grindelwald and its neighbouring town of Wengen. The skiing in both of these areas, which are easily linked, is excellent and varied. The black, "Oh God" is suitably named and enough to test the courage of most skiers as are several sections on the feared down hill course, "The Lauberhorn". The area in between Scheidegg and Manlichen is most suited to intermediate skiers and runs like Tsuggen are to be relished. The pistes in the resort are fabulously prepared and the restaurants are varied and charming. My favourite stop is the Wengeralp but reservations are necessary
