Intro

The First is an ideal starting point for action-packed hikes, the new “First Cliff Walk by Tissot” being a prime example.

The cable car whisks you in three stages from the valley station to Grindelwald-First at 2,168 metres above sea level, a hotspot for connoisseurs and adventurers alike. The summit tempts visitors with breathtaking views of the north face of the Eiger and wonderful hikes. Lasting around two hours, the leisurely hike to the Bachalpsee lake is a must for anyone visiting the First area. The snow-capped Alpine peaks are reflected in the crystal-clear blue water – a pure mountain idyll!

Whether you opt for the 800-metre First Flyer zipline or a high-octane scooter ride, a rush of speed and adrenaline is guaranteed. The First Flyer enables brave souls to glide through the air for 800 metres at speeds of up to 84km/h. Children can enjoy the 700-square metre playground at the Bort middle station.
