What to expect
Zurich
Meet your multilingual guide at Sihlquai Bus Station near the Zurich train station and board the coach for a 2-hour ride through the idyllic Bernese Oberland countryside.
Stop at the famous village of Interlaken (Höheweg 95, 3800 Interlaken) for a first orientation stop before continuing to the charming mountain resort Grindelwald, where the self-guided part of your tour begins.
Once you arrive in Grindelwald and farewell your tour guide, take the cable car to the summit of Mt. First. Experience the unique summit attraction "First Cliff Walk by Tissot". The trail with a 40-metre long one-rope suspension bridge at a dizzying height promises an extraordinary adrenalin kick. Grab a bite to eat on the spectacular sun terrace of the restaurant “Berggasthaus First”. Hike to lake Bachalpsee and admire the reflection of the surrounding mountains. Just a few steps aside, you find some optional activities: the First Flyer, a gigantic zip line, that gives you the feeling of flying down the hill over 800 meters with a maximum speed of 84 km/h. Continue by Mountain Cart (optional), a new fun sport vehicle with a comfortable seat for an exceptional ride on the rough track to Bort, from where you complete your adventure by Trottibike Scooter (optional). Curve down to Grindelwald through lovely alpine scenery passing by grazing cows and typical Swiss chalets.
