Grindelwald
Hiking guide in Grindelwald
Grindelwald sits in a bowl at 1,034 metres with the north face of the Eiger rising 3,000 metres above it, which is not a view so much as a wall. The village is a serious mountaineering base and has been since the sport was invented, and the hiking and climbing here are correspondingly demanding.
In winter the ski area links across to Wengen and Mürren. New gondolas from the valley have cut the access time substantially, which has made half-day sessions genuinely practical from Interlaken or even Bern.
The route is chosen on the day
Switzerland has extraordinary trail signage and it still catches people out, because conditions change fast with altitude and season. Your guide picks the route after seeing the forecast and meeting you, which is the whole point of hiring one rather than following a blog post.
What to bring
Proper boots, layers, water, and something to eat. Your guide carries a first aid kit and knows what the weather is doing. If you are unsure whether your boots are adequate, they probably are not — say so when you book and your guide will tell you what to get.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Say honestly what you can manage in the notes and the route is built around it. A half day at a gentle pace on a good path is achievable for most people in reasonable health.
Can we bring children?
Yes, with the route chosen accordingly. Tell us their ages — it is the single biggest factor in what is sensible.
What happens if the weather turns?
Your guide decides, and that decision is not negotiable. If the day is cancelled for safety we move it or refund it.
