Framed by the dramatic, towering face of the Eiger and surrounded by glaciers, Grindelwald is one of Switzerland's most celebrated glacier villages. Situated deep within the Bernese Oberland, it serves as the primary base for mountain climbers, ski enthusiasts, and hikers heading toward First, Männlichen, and the legendary Jungfraujoch.
