We enjoyed the Gondola Ride going up to First, doing the Cliff Walk, Hike to Lake Balchapsee. I would highly recommend one or two portable potty on the way to or at Lake Balchapsee. It was a very long hike, and there were no signs as to how long the hike was gonna be in terms of duration, like one hour or 2 hours, etc., and no one knew what lies ahead. Saw many young children to the point of serious exhaustion and it wasn't pleasant watching these young children suffer. There needs to be more clear signs before the start of the hike to Lake Balchapsee

I loved the experience at the First Cliff Walk! Grindelwald is simply beautiful, and the tour starts in a special way with the cable car ride, which offers wonderful views of the mountains and the surrounding landscape. Upon reaching First, the scenery is even more impressive. Doing the Cliff Walk, with the walkway along the cliffside and that incredible view of the Alps, was a wonderful experience. Everything was very well organized and easy to access. A tour that is definitely worth it and that I would do again!

I appreciated the advance booking option to guarantee entry, given the heavy crowds and how quickly tickets sell out. The organization was smooth and seamless; we will definitely visit again—and naturally, we’ll book through the app.

We had a wonderful experience booking our Grindelwald First tickets through Headout. The booking process was simple, smooth and convenient, and all the information we needed was clearly provided. The trip itself was absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking mountain views and an unforgettable experience. We were very happy with both Headout’s service and our overall trip. Highly recommended! 🇨🇭🏔️❤️

Everything was great. Everything was just as expected. Our digital ticket worked perfectly. The place is also amazing—the views are one-of-a-kind! It's really worth it!

Glide from Grindelwald BGF up to Mt. First on a scenic gondola, reaching high above the valley for alpine views, hiking access, and adventure hotspots.

Tickets cover your gondola ride on the Grindelwald First route, giving you flexible time on the mountain for walks, photo stops, or a relaxed summit break.

Step onto the First Cliff Walk, cross the metal walkway clinging to the rock face, and pause on the viewing platform for sweeping Bernese Oberland panoramas.
