Hiking

Hiking on the Pfingstegg - enjoy nature above Grindelwald.

High above Grindelwald lies the Pfingstegg - an ideal starting point for unforgettable hikes with breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps. Whether a leisurely stroll or a more challenging tour: the Pfingstegg offers the right experience for every taste. Discover alpine beauty, clear mountain air and the tranquillity of nature - just a cable car ride away from the village.

Hiking trails

Just a few steps after the Pfingstegg mountain station, you are already away from the attractions and thus in the midst of peaceful nature, where you can enjoy the beauty of the Grindelwald mountains undisturbed.

Come to rest on one of the numerous hiking trails, marvel at the impressive nature and let your mind wander.

Various hiking trails take you either back to the village or higher up towards Berghaus Bäregg or the Schreckhornhütte (the hike between Bäregg and Schreckhornhütte is only recommended for good & experienced hikers).

Let yourself be enchanted by the somewhat different, quieter side of Grindelwald on the beautiful mountain trails.
