How to get there

In Grindelwald, get to the Grindelwald First gondola (bus stop Grindelwald, Firstbahn). Ride up to the First station at the top, about 30 mins.

By car: park at the Grindelwald Sportzentrum parking garage, then walk 10 mins to gondola.

Tickets

If you plan to sled multiple times, buy a Jungfrau Region Sledding Day Pass, which gives you unlimited rides on the gondola during the day.

If you want to sled once (perhaps after sightseeing), then buy a one way ticket to Grindelwald First. At the end of the sledding you can buy a one way ticket down to Grindelwald.

Sled rental

You can rent sleds near the Gondola First valley station at Buri Sport - Dorfstrasse 181, 3818 Grindelwald. We find that the "Alu-Rodel" gives the best ride.

Intersport also rents sleds and winter clothing. They have a sports shop at the First station. Email to inquire.
