Why this trip

If you look out of the window in Grindelwald, you see the Eiger north face, and children immediately ask whether you can climb it. The village in the Bernese Oberland lies beneath the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and is the starting point for the Jungfraujoch. June to September is the best time, as the hiking trails are then open. The First railway takes families in a few minutes up to First, from where short paths with views, playgrounds and mountain huts beckon.

The Pfingstegg railway is a quieter excursion to a restaurant on the slope with a lovely view, made for children of primary school age. The Eiger Express takes you up to the region around Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen, a day trip that you should plan with breaks. Interlaken, Engelberg and Andermatt are not far, but Grindelwald has enough railways and paths to fill a week. Choose accommodation from which you can reach the railway on foot, so that the nap does not fail because of long walks.

With Swiss Vibes you can clarify all of this in a video call.
