Grindelwald spreads across green slopes beneath the Eiger, one of the most famous mountain faces in the Alps. It’s a real mountain village with hotels, chalets and apartments, and the gondolas start right from the valley.
Where to stay
- Near the village station: shops, restaurants and the train to Interlaken.
- Near Grindelwald Terminal: the Eiger Express gondola toward the Jungfraujoch.
- On the slopes above the village: chalets with the best Eiger views, often with a short bus ride.
Ask for an Eiger-facing balcony: many Grindelwald hotels list “south-facing” or “Eiger view” rooms. Those are the ones to book.
