Overview

The Eiger Lodge is only a few minutes walk to the Grindelwald Terminal where the speedy new Eiger Express Gondola will take you up to the Eiger Glacier station in no time at all. The Grindelwald Grund Station is a couple of minutes in the other direction, so you're in a great place to explore the whole area.

The Eiger Lodge is new to town and is a modern hostel-style accommodation with a relaxed, sociable atmosphere. Our rooms are located in the Chic part of the lodge, so are all private with shower and WC. A nice buffet breakfast is included each morning. The lounge, bar and grill are the perfect place to grab a drink or a bite to eat and being so close to town, exploring the local restaurants in the evening is easy. This accommodation will really suit the active holiday-maker after an authentic, no-frills accommodation with comfortable place to rest after a days hiking.

About Grindelwald

Accessible from Berne (75km) and Zurich (2/3 hours), Grindelwald is the oldest yet least- known of the 3 Jungfrau resorts (which combine to offer 188km of piste). Most will have heard of Wengen and Murren. All 3 sit around the magnificent Eiger, with Grindelwald at the base. A mountaineering Mecca, the setting and scenery are fantastic and the resort is picturesque in the extreme. Grindelwald has its own domain, linked with Wengen, while a slight trek can get you to Murren.

Grindelwald has Europe's longest sledge run - it is 15 km long!

The skiing favours intermediates and the resort is hugely popular with families. The ski school also has a reasonable reputation, with many English-speaking instructors.

There is plenty to do off the snow, with the train helping you to get around. Après-ski is pretty laid-back, while hotel restaurants are the focus for good grub. There are a few reasonable bars and 2 clubs, so it's slightly livelier than the other Jungfrau resorts. Access is provided by train from Interlaken.

Overall, a beautiful family ski resort, with a great selection of skiing and non-skiing options available.

The World Snow Festival takes place in Grindelwald each year. Thousands of sculpturers present their creations on this event. It is worth watching them how they make their creations.
