Grindelwald Ski Holidays

The skiing in Grindelwald is ideal for a family ski holiday, as beginners will enjoy the gentle Bodmi slopes whilst intermediates can take advantage of the mass of red and blue runs which make up most of the ski resort’s terrain. A fantastic five-mile cruiser runs from the top of the Oberjoch chairlift back to the base of resort. Whilst Grindelwald is not commonly regarded for tougher skiing, there are some worthy off-piste exceptions in the Jungfraujoch region, as well as a few itineraries around the Oberjoch lift.

With many ski schools and instructors to choose between, there really is something for everybody.

We’ve partnered with New Generation and Oxygène and highly recommend their services. All of our partners offer fantastic lessons for all ability levels.

When it comes to mountain restaurants, Grindelwald has over 20 options spread out across the First and Männlichen sectors. Small Alpine huts offer simple, self-service fayre, whilst a large complex at the top of Männlichen offers more upmarket cuisine with table service. In the town itself, there are over 50 dining options, the majority of which are located within the larger hotels. The Cava Cellar in the Hotel Derby serves cosy raclette until midnight which you can enjoy before or after a toboggan run.

Grindelwald offers a range of winter sports including sledging and snowshoeing, which are particularly popular. The fantastic, dramatic scenery can also be enjoyed by all, with the option to take the mountain railway up to a cosy Alpine hut to sample local cuisine and wonderful views. Separate lift passes are available for non-skiers which provide access to a wide range of hiking trails and toboggan runs, or the nearby town of Interlaken where there is plenty of shopping.
