First, you'll take the train from Interlaken Ost station to Grindelwald station, just half an hour away. From there, you'll walk 15 minutes to Grindelwald Firstbahn, the cable car base station. You'll then climb aboard the cable car and head up to an altitude of 7,113 ft (2,168 meters)!

Getting to the Grindelwald First Cliff Walk from Interlaken is a straightforward and scenic two-step journey. First, you must take a direct train from Interlaken Ost station to the village of Grindelwald. These trains run frequently throughout the day and the journey takes approximately 30 to 35 minutes, offering stunning views of the Lütschine river valley. Once you arrive at the Grindelwald train station, you have a few options to reach the base of the mountain: you can either take a pleasant 10-15 minute walk through the main street of the village or board a local bus (Lines 121, 122, 123, or 128) to the "Firstbahn" gondola station. From there, you will board a 6-person gondola for a spectacular 25-30 minute ride to the "First" summit station. The Cliff Walk, a metal walkway clinging to the side of the mountain with a glass-bottomed observation deck, is located just a few steps from the top gondola station. For 2026 travelers, it is recommended to start early (around 8:30 AM) to avoid the midday crowds and to ensure clear views of the Eiger and Jungfrau peaks.
