Grindelwald and Mount First full-day adventure from Zurich

Enjoy an early morning drive past five different mountain lakes in the idyllic Bernese Oberland. After a photo stop in the famous town of Interlaken, journey on to the charming mountain resort of Grindelwald. From the village centre, take the aerial cableway up to Mt First, where many different summit attractions await you! Venture on the unique First Cliff Walk and enjoy stunning views of the cliff face from the 40-metre-longer single-rope suspension bridge.

Take a seat inside the cosy mountain restaurant or on its spacious terrace and treat yourself to a delicious Swiss meal. Discover the favourite pastime of the Swiss and hike to picturesque Lake Bachalpsee (6 km / 1.5 – 2 hours return with a moderate incline). Rest on its shore and admire the reflection of the surrounding mountains in the crystal-clear mountain lake. Make your way back and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Back at the cable car station, take the cable car past grazing cows and typical Swiss chalets down to Grindelwald.

Enjoy time at leisure to explore the glacier village before you take a public train back to Interlaken, where you meet your tour guide for the return trip in the late afternoon.
