Visitor Reviews of Grindelwald
Tommy Williamson from Switzerland writes:
I visited Grindelwald for the first time last season. WOW! What a stunning place. There are four massive mountains towering over the village, all around 4000m in height and all spectacular in their own right. Take a trip up to Jungfraujoch if you get the chance, a real experience and well worth the money for the views from both the top and from the middle of the North Face of the Eiger. Skiing-wise I can't comment too much as I haven't really skied since I was a kid. I took a few lessons with Altitude, a British ski school, and they were fantastic. I would definitely recommend them, in fact so much so that my family and I will be back again this year. Will be staying in the Hotel Eiger again, a really nice hotel with great food. Been keeping my eye on the snow forecasts recently and my excitement is building up as more snow is forecast. I can't wait to get back on skis!
