Family ski hotels in Grindelwald

Grindelwald lies under the Eiger north face and shares the Jungfrau Ski Region pass with Wengen and Mürren-Schilthorn: 211 km of pistes across Grindelwald-Wengen, Grindelwald-First and Mürren-Schilthorn. Beginners learn at the Bodmi Arena and the Männlichen children's area, and the First gondola starts in the village. The village is on the BOB railway from Interlaken Ost, and the Wengernalpbahn runs on to Kleine Scheidegg and Wengen. Piste length is for the whole region, and the top altitude is the Männlichen (2,343 m).
