Probably the most beautiful place Ive been skiing, with some excellent long runs, one of which is a World Cup run

Have skied here for many years. Lovely variety of slopes and a vast area to explore. Recent new lifts have made a big difference to the time taken to travel around the resort. Not so great for snowboarders. Transport to and around the resort is excellent. Trains go right up the mountain so there are a wide variety of places you could stay and still ski the whole area.

Amazing resort, had soemthing for everyone and is also connected to Murren, and you can go see the restaurant at Pitz Gloria (where they filmed On Her Majestys Secret Service). Lovely restaurants. Longest toboggans ride in the world. If you go join the DHO (Down Hill Only ) club- it gives you the option to meet up with a group and have a local guide for the day for a really good price. Also has teenager skiing groups with local guides (amazing for making friends and likeminded people- I gained a lot of confidence from it they got me comfortable off piste)

I have been to wengen for over 10 years, a resort that is mainly filled with groomed slopes but is perfect for larger groups due to the availability of skii in skii out chalets, there are many tourists but that may be due to the absolutely breathtaking views and the quaint village upon a cliff, the journey to get their is just as beautiful navigating Switzerland by train (very easy to do due to the amazing train systems).

Lots of different areas to ski, heavy investment in new infrastructure in recent years. Very good lift reliability.

Grindlewald is a charming resort full of tradition.. accommodation is plentiful, whether you want to ski door to door or whether you prefer the bustle of the resort centre itself. The ski pistes are fantastic for all abilities. There are chairlift and cable cars and the views are stupendous. There are treelined woodland runs and plenty of open sunny slopes. The ski schools are fantastic and it is easy to ski here as a mixed ability family or group as there is something for everyone. The views of the famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungrfrau, if you can find to pause for a moment and soak up the scenery, will leave you breathless

I went there last year and it was a wonderful experience as a non-skier. There was plenty of space to walk up the mountains without getting in the way of people who were skiing and snowborading and a wide variety of activities to enjoy ! There were quite a few apres ski bars and restaurants but they were quite expensive! Grindelwald was lucky close to and had easy access to the town of Interlaken via regular trains and lifts which gives you even more options for food and accommodation!

it's hard to think of a more beautiful resort than Grindelwald, the scenery surrounding the village is breathtaking, and the village itself is mainly traditional chalet-style buildings that ooze warmth and charm. There's a good-sized ski area to explore, loosely split into four sub-areas of First, Mannlichen, Lauberhorn, and Murren. I suggest a day in each to see which suits you best, then return to your favourites. Murren is the furthest away from Grindelwald, but the journey by mountain train and funicular is all part of the joy of being here. Don't expect to ski hundreds of miles a day here, it's much more relaxed than that, ski a run, have a coffee, grab a cable car up to the top again. Food on the mountain is good, hot chocolate, schnitzel, and energy-giving cakes are the way to go. Back in Grindelwald, fondue at the Hotel Derby is popular, flammekuche (pizza) should be tried, but the Hotel Eiger is the best I've found for food in the area. From very relaxed rosti and Swiss beers in the front bar, to huge steaks or mixed platters in the main restaurant, this is where locals and tourists in the know go. I've always found accommodation in the Swiss alpine regions to be a little strange, and Grindelwald is no exception. Function over style definitely, and everything very dated, but I suppose if it works, and the guests still come, why change? The Hotel Aspen is probably the most modern that I've seen in the area, and it has a really unusual piste-side spa, don't be shy! I adore Grindelwald for its beautiful mountain setting, the quiet runs through the forests, and great winter-warmer food. Can't wait to return.

Beautiful location, varied terrain. Trains included in lift passes. Wengen is traffic free and can be difficult to access when problems with trains arise. Food is expensive but lots to choose from. Best for skiers as most blue and red runs have a lot of flat sections.
