Go on the train to Jungfrau was great
Visit the start bar and the lauberhorn
Nursery slopes are within the village.
Access to the rest of the area is by cable car or train.
For most of the season it is ski in ski out.
There are many bars a few night clubs and many good restaurants.
Beginners can easily start on the tow-lift in front of the Beausite Hotel, progress to the drag alongside and then there is plenty of beginner to intermediate options from the top. The top is accessible by the train or gondola.
The runs through the trees down to Grindelwald are great for building confidence and there are some more difficult options for advanced skiers. Overall, a recommended resort for beginners and intermediates and those seeking a more peaceful ski holiday.
