Grindelwald holidays

Grindelwald

The Jungfrau region is an area of outstanding natural beauty, offering superb walking opportunities and an excellent linked transport system of mountain railways and cable cars. Wengen is a pretty traffic-free village with a timeless quality, set against the mighty Jungfrau. Grindelwald is located in its own valley nestled against Mounts Eiger and First and rolling meadows. Both villages are lively and colourful with flower decked chalets, cafés, restaurants and shops. There is a huge range of activities and places to visit, including Europe's highest railway station and the Jungfrau UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
