First is a 2,168-meter summit above Grindelwald, offering a mix of adventure and alpine beauty. The cable car ride from Grindelwald takes about 25 minutes, passing over pastures and forests. At the top, the First Cliff Walk is a suspended walkway that juts out over the valley, providing thrilling views of the Eiger and the Bernese Alps. For adrenaline seekers, the First Flyer zip line and First Glider (a mountain cart) offer high-speed descents. Hiking trails lead to nearby lakes like Bachalpsee, where the iconic reflection of the Eiger is a photographer's dream. In summer, the area is a paradise for families and hikers; in winter, it becomes a sledding and snowshoeing destination. The combination of easy access and diverse activities makes First a must-visit.
