Great views and a fun cliff walk experience
It is just a short walk from the Grindelwald train station to the cable car departure point. Tickets could easily be bought from a machine. There was no queue at all this time so my wife and I got a private cabin. The journey to the top took about 25 minutes and was very pleasant. The ride itself was not particularly dramatic and the cable car did not go very high off the ground. At the top there is a winding observation deck with multiple levels which is perfect for taking nice souvenir photos. The bridge running along the edge of the cliff was really fun and offered great views. There is also a separate bridge section where you can stand at the very end and take photos with absolutely nothing around you. It was a really great experience overall and definitely worth a visit. On the way back down you can take a mountain cart from the first station. That was a really awesome way to end the trip.

Amazing but book on arrival! Over priced with Tripadvisor!
Amazing experience and views, however… the cliff walk is FREE! You only need to pay for the gondola which was 72chf of £68 per person! Trip advisor charge £106 each! Nearly double the price, better to book on arrival! Desk operator laughed at us for the price we paid as the cliff walk was free. Disappointing and will be requesting a refund. Highly recommend first flyer and first glyder, adrenaline rush and unreal views.
Operator response
The cliff walk is free to enter, but you don't get there without the gondola ticket. That means, you need to have a gondola ticket to enter the cliff walk

Fantastic
It is not a tour - we just got the ticket before. But that was ok, you don't need a guide. We went later in the morning and it works fine with the tickets. No need to exchange - just walk through to the cableway. Very smooth ride with stunning views along the way. When you get to the top, you can do a lot of things, from different walks to rides. Hiking to Bachalpsee is also very nice, though I struggle a bit.

Fun and relaxing experience
The Grindelwald First cable car offers a scenic 25-minute ascent with stops along the way. The alpine views at every level are undeniably beautiful, and for first-time visitors, the experience may seem thrilling. As we got the ticket by Viator before, we did not have to queue up for 2 hours!

Do your homework
The walk is free…for 101 Swiss, ($200 AU) one adult could have got cable cart, up and down and 2 adventure activities…We paid $250 AU for a cable cart up down and a free walk! I should of done my homework…on me…

absolute must-do!
What a wonderful experience to see the Alps! I received the tickets by email three weeks in advance. Go to Grindelwald Station (this is the last stop) and walk about 10-15 minutes to Grindelwald First, where you take the funicular to the summit. There are three stops. The first two are where the adventures and activities are, and the last stop is the first, where you can do the cliff walk and the hikes for free.

Breathtaking scenery, well worth a visit!
Cable car to the top of Grindelwald, spectacular views! Well organized, not too much of a queue for cable car, though we could see there was a large queue for the flyer and go carts so we didn’t have time to do that. You can see at the point of boarding the cable car what is available and how long the queues are. We did the mountain walk at the top which was lovely, only takes about 15 mins, there was a queue for the part that stick out for people taking photos, which we didn’t wait for and do that - but you don’t have to if you are not bothered about this. We then got back on the cable car and got off at the station halfway down to go on the trotti bikes as we did have time for this and they were fantastic, highly recommend!! Such a lovely scenery as you coast down the bottom half of the mountain and back into Grindelwald.

Don't buy tickets to grindelwald first from this site or its operator. this
Do not buy tickets through this site to grindelwald first. We paid way to much for the tickets via this site compared to tickets we eventually had to purchase at the gate. The pre purchased trip adviser / viatore tickets wernt accepted buy the operators of grindelwald first. We recommend highly going to visit grindelwald first as the experience was amazing but recommend to buy your tickets on site.

You never purchased a ticket with us and dit not experience our tour.

Scam
Do not pay this price, its a total scam. The Cliff walk is free. Just buy a lift ticket upon arrival.
Operator response
The cliff walk is included in the ticket, that you need to buy to be transported. Please stay with the truth.
