Grindelwald Travel Forum

We are going to Switzerland this summer and will be staying in the Interlaken region. We want to do the trip to the Jungfrau all the way to the top of course. I have been reading lots about it and have noticed that you can take the train from Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. We have a car so we will drive up to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald and take the train from there to the Jungfrau.

My question to you is which of these train trips is the most beautiful. Should we take the train to the Jungfrau from Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald? It won't be our only visit to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald as we will be staying for 11 days in that area. I just want to know which train trip is the nicest of the two.

Thanks in advance,
Ann

We will be staying in Grindelwald the week prior to Christmas and are looking for a good place to go for Christmas and New Years. I have heard New Years is great in Germany. Perhaps Munich? We are having difficulty figuring out how to get there (train or plane and which ones) as well as deciding where to go. Any suggestions or advise will be greatly appreciated.

Have got 1.2500 walking maps of area plus the printouts from the website states 1hr 45 mins is this realistic and how easy is it to follow the swiss footpaths

Hi, I am planning a trip in February to Grindelwald for 6 people and we need to get from Zurich airport to Grindelwald. Is there any kind of shuttle service or transport company for hire? We have excess luggage and concerned that the train may be too difficult for some of the elders. I understand that we don't need a car in the town so we are just looking for a ride to and from the airport.
Many thanks!
Denise

Just how good are the facilities for hang gliding in and around Grindelwald? I have just returned from there and understand you can get a short-packed hang glider up to the top of the 'First' cable car station but how about access on the mountain railways and roads ? I am a member of a UK hang gliding club and am exploring the possibilities of arranging a club holiday there in the future,

Hi all
I'll be travelling from Paris to Zurich mid-September, most likely by train. I only have a few days in total before flying to London from Zurich. I am told Grindelwald is lovely and would consider breaking the travel to stay a night there if that is practical. Grateful for any ideas or suggestions on how best to get there, where to stay, etc.
