"First View" is a viewing platform at the top of the Grindelwald First peak. It offers an incredible panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, including the famous Eiger North Face.

Open: year round

Location: Grindelwald First Gondola to First station

To reach the platform, ride the gondola from Grindelwald to First. Then a short walk above the cable car station, following signs to "First View."

What else to do

You can easily visit both the “First View” and Cliff Walk, since there are very close to each and the gondola station. The Cliff Walk is right below this platform, but you’ll need to walk back down the path and follow signs to the Cliff Walk entrance.

Just below the platform, you'll find the First restaurant, which has a lovely outdoor panorama terrace, a nice place for a coffee and snack or lunch.
