Activity description

Discover Lake Bachalp, the wonderful town of Grindelwald near Interlaken and the picturesque peak of First in the Swiss Alps!

Hiking And Ziplining around Grindelwald, near Interlaken will allow you to enjoy breathtaking views as you walk along paths suspended alongside special rock formations and admire the Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau panorama from the ground or high up in the air. Hiking And Ziplining around Grindelwald has more than one surprise for you, especially if you crave a little adrenaline during your vacations.

After a first stop to visit the town of Grindelwald, you will be asking for more and you will not be disappointed! A 30-minute ride in a suspended gondola will take you to the First Peak where you can appreciate the fresh mountain air and untouched nature in all its beauty at 2 168 meters above sea level.

You can go on a ride in the First Flyer, a kind of Tyrolienne. Up to 4 passengers can enjoy the stunning view as you ride along the 800 metre-long zipline, at up to 84 km/h speed.
If the Flyer didn't give you enough goosebumps, you can double up by going on a ride on the First Glyder, the eagle of the Jungfrau area, where you can feel like you're flying along a real bird of prey, on the 800-metre-long flight route at up to 83 km/h speed. There is also plenty of hiking to be done: the Cliff Walk which takes you along the rock to a viewing platform, is one to send shivers down the spine of even the most daring ones and then you will be rewarded with the sight of the Lake Bachalpsee after an hour-long walk to the lake.

The day will end with a train ride back to Interlaken where you will be able to relax and let the experience of the day sink in, leaving long-lasting memories.
