Grindelwald to Männlichen Gondola Terminal

Grindelwald Terminal is the big hub at the edge of the village where two major gondolas leave: the Männlichen Gondola and the Eiger Express (to Eigergletscher + Jungfraujoch).

• Getting there: You can reach the terminal by car (large paid parking garage on-site) or by train (the Bernese Oberland Railway stops right at the terminal—super easy if you don’t want to drive).

• At the top: Männlichen is perfect for families—there’s the famous giant cow-themed alpine playground, short kid-friendly walk like the Royal Walk, Panorama Trail to Kleine Scheidegg, and Lieselotte activity trail for kids, and of course sweeping views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Plus restaurants where you can sit on the terrace while the kids play

• Tickets: CHF 32 one-way / 64 return per adult The ride is free if you have the Bernese Oberland Pass or Jungfrau Travel Pass. If you have a Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half Fare Card, you’ll get 50% off the gondolas.

• Combining rides: Some families do the Eiger Express in the morning to head up toward Jungfraujoch, then ride the Männlichen gondola in the afternoon for the playground and kid-friendly hikes. We decided to do the ziplines at Grindelwald First: Top of Adventure in the morning, and the Mannlichen gondola in the afternoon.

• Food & shops: There are cafés, restaurants, and even an outdoor gear store inside the terminal—handy if you need a quick bite or forgot a jacket.

  You cannot reserve a timeslot. Since there are only two karaoke cars, you might have to wait a very long time to ride in one. With even just one group ahead of you, you'll have to wait minimum 19 mins for the next one
