Itineraries
Ultimate ski and snowboard experience
This 5-day programme offers the ultimate experience for skiers and snowboarders. Discover all four ski areas in the Jungfrau Region and experience the diversity and uniqueness of this destination.
Day 1 : Ski area Mürren – Schilthorn
The first day of skiing starts in Stechelberg, where the Schilthorn cable car takes you to the Mürren-Schilthorn ski area. This extends between 1,600 and almost 3,000 metres above sea level and is therefore considered to be particularly snow-sure.
The best way to start the day is with a trip to the very top - to the Schilthorn - Piz Gloria, which is included in the ski pass. There you can enjoy a light snack or a hearty brunch before the day of skiing really gets going.
The ski area offers around 50 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes for every winter sports level.
For brave and experienced skiers, we recommend piste no. 9 - the Direttissima. This piste is 400 metres long and has a gradient of 88 per cent!
However, the ski area also offers gentle slopes and practice areas for inexperienced guests and children.
For the perfect end to the day, enjoy an après-ski drink or a delicious fondue or raclette on one of the many sun terraces in Mürren.
Day 2: Ski area Grindelwald – Wengen
On the second day, you head to Grindelwald, or more precisely to the Grindelwald Terminal - the most modern terminal in the Alps with a direct railway connection. From here, the Eiger Express tricable gondola takes you to the Eiger Glacier - the centre of the ski area - in just 15 minutes.
At 2,333 metres above sea level, the Eiger Glacier station is the highest point in the ski area and blue, red or black pistes take you from here to Kleine Scheidegg - with the world-famous Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau triumvirate always in view.
The ski area is ideally connected, so you can also enjoy the afternoon on the other side of the mountain in the Männlichen area and discover more slopes, restaurants and snow bars.
You can return to Grindelwald either on the valley descent or with the 10-seater gondola from Männlichen, which will take you back to the terminal in comfort.
Day 3: Ski area Grindelwald – First
The third day of skiing also starts in Grindelwald, but on the other side of the village. The First cable car takes you comfortably to the Grindelwald-First ski area in just under half an hour. Here, 56 kilometres of pistes and a snow park await you, and it is not without reason that this ski area is also known as a freestyle Eldorado.
There is also plenty to experience off-piste if you need a break from skiing. The First Cliff Walk is a circular summit trail at lofty heights at the First mountain station, the highlight of which is a viewing platform that extends 45 metres into the void. Thrills and breathtaking views guaranteed!
If you need even more adrenalin, we recommend a flight with the First Glider or the First Flyer. Both activities are included in the ski pass. There are therefore no additional costs.
End your day's skiing with the descent into the valley and a stop at the Bus Stop Bar. The bar in the vintage bus guarantees an unmistakable atmosphere and the best hot mojito.
Day 4: Ski area Meiringen – Hasliberg
Today starts in Meiringen, where the valley station of the Meiringen-Hasliberg cableway is located. The cable car takes you to Hasliberg Reuti in just a few minutes and the gondola lift takes you right into the centre of the ski area. At the terminus on the Alpen tower, a breathtaking 360-degree view of over 400 mountain peaks and the turquoise-coloured Lake Brienz awaits you - the Panorama Restaurant is the perfect place for your morning coffee.
The ski area offers 60 kilometres of slopes and is perfect for families with children with its wide and gentle slopes. In the huge ‘Skihäsliland’ practice area, even the little ones can learn their first turns in the snow.
The slope 23 takes you back to Hasliberg Reuti, where you can enjoy an après-ski drink right next to the valley station before the cable car takes you back to Meiringen.
Day 5: Ski area Grindelwald-Männlichen and Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
In the Jungfrau Ski Region, there is also plenty to discover off-piste, so today starts with a non-skiing excursion. It starts again at the Grindelwald terminal, where the Eiger Express takes you to the Eiger Glacier station. Here you can conveniently deposit your ski equipment and change to the Jungfrau Railway - a construction of the century. The route leads through a seven-kilometre tunnel through the Eiger and Mönch to the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe. At 3,545 metres above sea level, the terminus is the highest railway station in Europe.
Here you can visit the Ice Palace, enjoy a fantastic view of the Aletsch Glacier or discover the Snow Fun Park. Before you leave the Jungfraujoch behind you, a meal awaits you in one of the restaurants.
After your excursion, you board the train back to the Eiger Glacier and enjoy the afternoon on the slopes of the Grindelwald-Wengen ski area. Why not conquer the original route of the infamous Lauberhorn descent? A tip that is only for experienced skiers though.
If you are too tired for the descent in the evening, either the train or the Eiger Express will take you back to Grindelwald.
