With the new Eiger Express and Mannlichen lifts now running, speed of access to the slopes is so much faster. The resort offers stunning views of the Bernese Oberland - some of the best views of iconic mountains up close and the dramatic Eiger north face towers over the village.

A great resort with Swiss charm. You can be carried up from the car free town of Wengen by train straight to the slopes. Fast lifts and good variety of runs, with good mountain restaurants. The World Cup run is a highlight in the resort.

Busy and quite expensive overall but nice open style bowls for skiing. Would go back. The map is a bit hard to follow

Grindelwald sits at the base of the incredible eiger mounting. It is a charming ski resort which offers a great ski experience. There are well maintained runs for all abilities, reliable snow with a vast artificial snow capacity if needed, a cozy apres scene and rural alpine character. It is a must visit resort. Modern ski lifts make it quick, comfortable and easy to get around and the cog wheel trains give a unique vibe to the area. There are 3 ski areas; grindelwald first, kleine schiedegg-manlichen as-well as murren-schiltorn. All offer a slightly different skiing experience and run type. A must do run for experienced skiers is the lauberhorn downhill, the longest World Cup event. Which ever area you ski is guaranteed to have incredible scenery.

I was here from early december to mid february. 1st ever ski resort training with altitude under a R.A.T.S programme to become a level 2 qualified ski instructor. The beginner slopes didnt open until late december so i had to train on the red run, luckily i was up for the challenge. Many different slopes available and even connections to different parts of the resort such as Mannlichen. Was really good fun and such a sight to see. Mid january the skiing world cup is on so make sure to include this into your plans if you want to see the racers jump 30ft and race down the slopes. Theres also a chance to try this run yourself once the races are finished. Of course without the 30ft jump. Food options were quiet expensive on the mountains so i didnt go crazy but what i did try was quiet tasty the fries at the Hütte was a hit. Overall a good resort and big enough to keep you occupied and enjoying yourself as well as a whole load of Friendly faces. -Benny Lopo

It's high and icy. The pistes are some distance from the accommodation so it takes time to get anywhere. Not sure I would return.
