Treat yourself to a flight through nature!
Glide for about 2.5 minutes through the stunning mountain scenery of Pfingstegg. The Fly-Line offers a gentle, safe, and joyful experience – a perfect way to escape everyday life and simply let go.

The Pfingstegg mountain restaurant offers a rustic ambience and a large terrace with magnificent views of Grindelwald and the valley beyond.

Opening hours
From early June until approximately mid-October (depending on snow conditions).

From the mountain station of the aerial cable car, experienced hikers can reach it in 4.5 hours. The SAC Schreckhornhütte is the starting point for demanding routes to the 4000-meter peaks Schreckhorn and Lauteraarhorn, as well as for a number of lower, equally rewarding summits. The hut is also popular as an intermediate stop on multi-day, combined hut tours – enough program for a varied stay in a high alpine environment. As a cosy SAC hut, the Schreckhornhütte offers 30 sleeping places and, of course, cosy hut evenings.

The hut is staffed from mid to late June until the end of September, depending on conditions.

The hut trail is a demanding blue-and-white marked alpine route. Guests with limited alpine experience are strongly advised to inform themselves in advance and allow sufficient time for the ascent. Chains and fixed ropes support the climb and descent; however, hiking this alpine route is undertaken at your own responsibility. Sturdy, waterproof mountain boots are required.

Grindelwald Glacier Canyon

It took Mother Nature 250 million years to form this incredible canyon!

The gorge of the Lower Grindelwald Glacier is an impressive masterpiece of nature. Hike through rock galleries and tunnels and discover the once ice-covered gorge. Test your balance and courage on the 170m2 ‘Spiderweb’ net construction, which is stretched 7 metres above the roaring Lütschine.

Situated at the eastern foot of the Eiger, the chalet-style café is located directly at the entrance to the imposing glacier canyon. We look forward to your visit!

The Hotel Wetterhorn with 10 rooms shines in new splendour after the renovation in 2010. The restaurant offers home-style Swiss cuisine, using mainly local and regional products. Speciality: meat from the hot stone.

The starting point for hikes in all directions at 1962 metres above sea level.

The Grosse Scheidegg can be reached by bus from Grindelwald in 40 minutes and from Meiringen in 60 minutes. A large, cosy restaurant with over 100 seats invites you to linger. In fine weather, you can sit on the panoramic terrace with views of the rock faces of the High Alps.

High above Grindelwald at the foot of the Mettenberg

Beautifully laid out high-level trail with magnificent views. A gentle ascent and descent on a good hiking trail takes you to the Milchbach restaurant. You cross the unique Breitlouwina rock paradise. After a short descent you reach the Hotel Wetterhorn with bus stop.

High above Grindelwald, at the foot of the impressive Mettenberg, this varied mountain trail leads down to Hotel Wetterhorn. The route is mostly downhill and includes some exciting sections – including the spectacular Breitlouwina Tunnel. Sure-footedness and sturdy footwear are essential. Caution: Do not stop in areas at risk of falling rocks!

The hike from Pfingstegg to Bäregg is not only scenic but also educational. At seven locations, you will learn how the spectacular rockfall on the Eiger came about, why the resulting glacial lake poses a danger and how the image of a mountain hut on the precipice came to symbolise the potentially dramatic consequences of climate change in Europe. The hike takes approximately 2.5–3 hours round trip from Pfingstegg.

The most direct route back to the valley leads steeply downhill via Weid to Grindelwald. The short but challenging route takes a maximum of 1 hour and requires good footwear. Ideal for experienced hikers who want to return to the village quickly - with beautiful views included.

The descent via Sulz follows a winding forest road from Pfingstegg down to Grindelwald. The route leads through a varied landscape of open pastures and shady mountain forest, with the impressive north face of the Wetterhorn towering in the background. A few slightly steeper and occasionally rocky sections add some variety – hiking poles can be helpful here.

For experienced families, the trail is also manageable with an all-terrain stroller, although a bit of effort may be required to push or hold it on a few steeper parts.

This short but steep hike leads from Pfingstegg via the historic marble quarry back down into the valley to Grindelwald. In around 1 hour, a varied descent awaits you with beautiful views and exciting insights into the past of rock quarrying. Good footwear recommended!

From Pfingstegg, this short but challenging descent takes you along a lesser-known mountain trail through the idyllic Flielewald back to Grindelwald. In about an hour of walking time, you can expect varied forest sections, impressive views into the valley, and a beautiful mountain panorama. The path is steep in places and requires some sure-footedness – so good footwear is essential.

The ascent to the Schreckhornhut follows the Lower Grindelwald Glacier and is a blue-marked alpine hiking trail (T4). Experience, sure-footedness, and a head for heights are prerequisites.

From Bäregg, follow the white-blue-white marked path via Bänisegg. Rocky sections with steps and chains, a stream crossing at Rots Gufer, and secured sections characterize the path. Via Schwarzegg (hut ruins from 1877), you reach the Schreckhornhut.

Extra caution is advised in wet conditions. Good planning and equipment are essential.
