Grindelwald & Mount First Day Trip
Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the Sihlquai bus park and set off from Zurich toward the canton of Bern, in the heart of Switzerland.
Our first stop will be Interlaken, a beautiful town nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. After a brief photo stop, we'll continue by bus to Grindelwald, one of the most stunning villages in the Bernese Alps.
Upon arriving at this fairy-tale setting, we'll hand out your cable car tickets for Mount First. Once you reach the summit at 2,100 meters (6,890 feet), you'll have 3 hours of free time to explore this iconic peak.
Your cable car ticket also includes access to the First View observation platform and the Cliff Walk by Tissot suspension bridge. From this 40-meter (130-foot) walkway, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the Alpine peaks. Prepare to be speechless!
At the top of Mount First, you can also grab a bite to eat and, if you'd like, take part in some of the available activities. Just make sure to leave enough time to take the cable car back down to Grindelwald, where you can explore this charming Alpine village.
Finally, we'll head to Lauterbrunnen for a stop to visit one of Switzerland's most beautiful villages before making our way back to the meeting point in Zurich, wrapping up this 12-hour day trip.
