We just got back from our trip there. From Bachalpsee we hiked to Faulhorn for amazing 360 views. Then hiked the Schynige Platte trail, possibly our favorite hike of the trip, even after doing the Eiger Trail and Panorama trail from Mannlichen, which were both beautiful. Great ridge walking and scenic views the whole way. Oh, and my daughter and our 82 year old friend also went paragliding from First! I started watching your videos before our trip and they were so helpful for planning and inspiration.

This video has really been helpful and I have seen this many times now, really good. I have 1 question, if we want to go to grindelwald first and take the adventure package, we need to buy cable car tickets + adventure package tickets, right? This doubt is because on adventure package page, it is mentioned, The Adventure Package includes a ride on the Firstbahn. (unlimited) so I am bit confused that if I buy only adventure package ticket, can I use normal cable car? Could you please help me here?

@bungabening3530 Год назад

Thanks for your videos because there's so much to see in the region yet time is limited. Once we've finished at the top we hope to walk down to Schreckfeld to ride the cart and then on to Bort for the Trotti bikes. Do you know if that's possible or if the views make it worthwhile or should we just take the gondola down? Thanks

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Hi there! Your plan is absolutely possible. But during peak season, the mountain carts can get really backed up (a wait of 90-120 minutes), so keep that in mind. We've never seen much of a wait for the Trottibikes though!

@MrGreatplum 3 месяца назад

I love the First. I’m old enough to remember when it was a side facing chairlift (I think it was rebuilt the following year!) When we went in 2019, we did the go carts with my boys - we enjoyed them so much that we did them twice (although my younger son did flip his - he was unhurt!) I tried strapping a GoPro to me for my son’s RU-vid channel but that came off 😆 I also went up there on my own and walked from First to Shrekfeld which became the first video on my RU-vid channel - I got an excellent coffee from the Genepi ski hut walking down. Next time we must walk to the Bachalpsee!

@AplinsintheAlps 3 месяца назад

@Greatlife1212 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jana and Brett, thank you for making all these videos. They are very helpful in creating our itinerary. We will be in Switzerland 2nd week of October. Am doing our itinerary and I just want to know if going to Grindelwald Cliff Walk, Grindelwald First and Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe) in one day is possible. We are staying at Interlaken OST and would just like to do the Cliff Walk and toboggan run, then see Jungfraujoch. Thank you.

@AplinsintheAlps 10 месяцев назад

Hi! You could do Grindelwald First cliff walk and Jungfraujoch in the same day, but there is not a toboggan run at First (although there is one nearby at Pfingstegg, but you couldn’t do all 3 in one day because of the travel time and opening hours). Hope that helps!! 🙂

@user-wd3wi4kv1d 10 месяцев назад

Great video! Question, what do you mean by regional pass? Are the day passes (Tages Kart) considered as regional pass? Do they cover the cable card and other activities?

@AplinsintheAlps 10 месяцев назад

Glad you liked the video! Day passes are used within a specific city where the regional passes let you travel throughout several cities that make up that region. You can look on the website for whatever pass your considering and it will show you all the routes and what/if cable cars are included.

@lisakitching9465 Год назад

Bought your 1 week guide to Junfrau region, great info! One question remains, if visiting Jungfrau area for 5 days, then also going to Geneva, Ascona, and Montreux for a trip total of 14 days flying in & out of Geneva in Sept, is it smart to buy a 15 day Swiss TP AND the 1/2 fare card? Or would STP be sufficient on its own or the BO & 1/2 fare card as you highly recommend?

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Hi Lisa, thanks for purchasing our guide! It really depends on what you'll do during your time outside the Jungfrau Region. If you'll be HEAVILY riding the trains, then it might make sense to buy the Swiss Train Pass (but do not combine it with the Half Fare Card). However, in most cases, it's not that expensive to travel between cities and towns outside the mountains, and you're likely to come out ahead with the 1/2 Fare Card. Hope this helps!

Hi Karina! The nice thing about Grindelwald First is that there are also two intermediate stations on the way up (Bort & Schreckfeld). You could actually stop at each one, and there are great hiking trails all over the place. So you can absolutely hike in this area, by picking the station low enough to be clear of snow!

@GbEv33 Месяц назад

Wow! So helpful. Thank you! Is it possible to reach Grindelwald by gondola from Wengen via Wengen-Männlichen-Holenstein-Grindelwald Terminal? It looks possible on google maps. Just not sure if that makes more sense than taking the train.

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

It's possible either way! But if you go Wengen-Mannlicen-Terminal, you'll have to then take a bus or train from Terminal to the First Station. Otherwise you can train from Wengen-Luaterbrunnen-Grindelwald Bahnhof.

@brinckau Год назад

I'm afraid of heights, I was scared in the cable car from Grindelwald to First. So, I thought I would try the First Flyer, because somebody who is as afraid of heights as me would probably get a thrill doing that. I did it, but felt absolutely nothing. I was not scared at all. So, if you're unsure about doing it, you might want to save the money and the time by skipping this activity.

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Hi Jun! Yes it does cover those routes. But before you settle on the Swiss Travel Pass, be sure to check out our Ultimate Guide to Swiss Train Passes if you haven't already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kk6wuDzvSPg.html

I would just like to confirm because i have a niece that is 11 years old and will be travelling with his father in switzerland. If my brother will purchase top of europe pass+swiss half fare card and they will have this swiss family card so that means that my niece will be free of charge with transportations and attractions like this?

Once I get out to visit the stations before de top, can I turn back the gondola to keep going up with the same ticket? Can I chose to do it going uo or down, or just up?

@AplinsintheAlps 7 месяцев назад

Hi there! You can stop along the way, as long as you don't backtrack. With a return ticket, you could stop either on the way up or the way down. Enjoy!

Hello, are you Swiss? I particularly like this place. It is a very beautiful country.

@jeanysong9468 Месяц назад

When you go down at bort station, do you need to pay to hop in the gondola again?

@AplinsintheAlps Месяц назад

If you have a train pass covering the gondola, or have already purchased a roundtrip ticket, that will be all you need. But if you only bought a one-way ticket to the top, you will need to buy another one to go from Bort back to Grindelwald.

@jasonhubler9543 4 месяца назад

would it be possible to do both Grindelwald first and Schilthorn in the same day?

@AplinsintheAlps 4 месяца назад

It's definitely possible if you mostly just ride up to enjoy the views. But we generally recommend splitting those into two separate days because there are just so many things we'd hate for you to miss near each of those spots. Hope this helps!

Is it good to visit jangfrau region on middle of May month ?

@AplinsintheAlps 5 месяцев назад

Hi there! It depends on your plans, of course. It might be a little earlier for hikes high in the mountains (depending on how much snow we get this winter). But it's a beautiful time for wildflowers and waterfalls, and that's a little before the busy summer season.

Thanks for such a detailed video...even though I have a few question 1.if we have Jungfraujoch - Top Of Europe tickets will grindelwald first is covered with it. 2. we are visiting Jungfraujoch then should we visit grindelwald as well. 3. And is it possible to cover both in one day. Thanks Loveneet

@AplinsintheAlps 28 дней назад

Jungfraujoch and Grindelwald First are different places so they will require different tickets. It’s possible to do both in one day, although it would be a very long and very full day! (Make sure to note when the first/last rides are at both destinations so you don’t get stuck)

@stevenkawe2364 Год назад

Hi there!!! Nice video!!! Anyway, I will go there next month, if I already have the 'top of europe pass', do I still need to pay for the adventures activities? Or is it free?

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Hi Steven! Unfortunately the Top of Europe Pass doesn't provide any discounts on the adventure activities. Skip the adventure package though (unless you plan to do all four)-you'll end up paying more since the lift rides are already covered by your ToE pass. Hope this helps!

@kiettuanphi 26 дней назад

I am going to visit First on this 25 June 😊😊 I don’t know whether or not I should buy tickets online in advance? Can online tickets help me to skip the queue? I will come to First at around 14:30 so I am afraid that I may not have enough time to enjoy the trottibikes due to long queue, which makes me waste my money for the online ticket. In your opinion, under my circumstance should I buy online ticket in advance? Or I should buy ticket when I go down to Bort from First?

@AplinsintheAlps 25 дней назад

Hi there! The online ticket won't help you skip the queue for the adventure tickets, unfortunately. But in our experience, there usually isn't too much of a wait time for the trottibikes, though you can never be sure. We suggest using the SBB Mobile App to buy your cable car tickets. That way, you can literally buy them in the moment without standing in line. Have a great trip!

QUESTION: My husband and I will be staying in Murren in August 2024. What is the best/easiest way to get from Murren to/from Gridewald/First and back. Is it a doable (recommended) afternoon excursion from Murren? We will only be there for two days.

@AplinsintheAlps 8 месяцев назад

Hey there! Great questions. There are actually a few ways to get between Mürren and First, and it’s possibly in a long afternoon! As always, the SBB mobile app is the easiest way to get directions. I know you’ve followed us for a while (I recognize your name from other RU-vid comments😁) so be sure to stay tuned for our Swiss Transportation Guide that we’re publishing next month!

The cliff walk stays right next to the cliff side the whole way until the very end, where there's an optional section that goes straight out over the valley. It's not very long, and you can skip it if vertigo kicks in. Hope you enjoy it!

Love the Mountain cart. Do you have any advice on Renting mountain bikes and trails that would give more freedom to explore as well as trill rides? Have reservations for Aug1-7 Maybe ill see you at Steiner's again.

@AplinsintheAlps 4 месяца назад

Great question Austin! We haven't done any mountain biking, but there are lots of Intersport shops (and plenty other shops as well) in Grindelwald that will rent bikes for the day or even part of the day. Having done lots of hiking (but no mountain biking), I think we'd choose the area from First down to Grindelwald, especially the area in the hills between Bort and Grindelwald. So many beautiful places to stop along the way!

@AplinsintheAlps 7 месяцев назад

It's doable, but you might have to rush a bit in order to make it happen, which is why we don't recommend it. But if you want to, we'd probably recommend going to Jungfraujoch first thing in the morning, then going to Grindelwald First in the afternoon. Hope this helps!

If you hold the brakes and stay in control (instead of flying downhill) we think you will be a-okay! 😊 we were! But yeah, if you never pressed the brakes you could certainly fly off the trottibike!

Can Grindelwald First be done with Jungfraujoch in a day trip?

@AplinsintheAlps Год назад

Hi there! It could technically be done, but we recommend splitting these two experiences up over two separate days. It takes about an hour and a half to reach Jungfraujoch, and most people spend 2-3 hours there. If you go first thing in the morning and don't plan to hike to the Mönchsjochhütte, you could go up to Grindelwald First in the afternoon. But you probably won't have time to do adventure activities except for maybe the trottibike. Hope this helps!
