**First**, without question: ride the cable car up, walk the bolted Cliff Walk (free with the cable-car ticket) with its astonishing view, then descend by three successive fun rides — the First Flyer zip-line, the mountain carts and the trottibikes. It fills half a day and suits ages from about six. Add the easy hour's walk to Lake Bachalp if the weather is clear.

Grindelwald is Switzerland's most famous mountain village and the base for exploring the Jungfrau region: a broad town in an open green valley directly at the foot of the **north face of the Eiger** — the most famous and most dangerous rock wall in mountaineering history, rising 1,800 metres above the meadows and dominating every view in the village. The region's best-known trips branch from here: the Jungfraujoch train via Kleine Scheidegg, the modern **Eiger Express** cable car (2020) that cuts the ascent to 15 minutes, and the First mountain with its famous attractions — the Cliff Walk bolted to the rock face, the mountain cart and trottibike runs, the zip-line, and Lake Bachalp. In winter, a major ski area. It has the most services in the region (hotels, restaurants, shops, transport) and equally the most crowds. For families wanting a comfortable mountain base with every activity within reach: Grindelwald is the Oberland's first choice.
