Grindelwald First Clift Walk
The First is an amazing starting point for hikes, the new “First Cliff Walk by Tissot” being a prime example. The summit tempts visitors with breathtaking views of the north face of the Eiger and wonderful hikes. Lasting around two hours, the leisurely hike to the Bachalpsee lake is a must for anyone visiting the First area.
The terrace rises 45 metres out into the void. In order to reach it, visitors must first climb to dizzying heights on the west side of the First summit: on the First Cliff Walk presented by Tissot, not only is the view into the valley beautiful, so is the view of the mountainside.
