How to Complete

3 steps curated by Wine Memories

1. ⛰️ 1

   Ride the Gondola to First

   adventure $$

   Take the 25-minute gondola ride (CHF 35 return) to First station at 2,166m, where glass floors on some cabins give you Eiger views throughout the ascent. Buy tickets online (jungfrau.ch) to skip queues at the Grindelwald First gondola base station, and sit on the right for best mountain views.

   Walk the Cliff Walk

   adventure Free

   A steel walkway bolted to sheer cliffs, 2,200m above the valley floor, with glass sections that let you see straight down. Follow signs to Cliff Walk from First station — it's a 5-minute stroll from the gondola exit, and the walkway is free with your gondola ticket. Walk slowly, stop at the viewpoints where the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau fill your entire vision. Morning light is best for photos.

   Wine at the Precipice

   wine $

   Order a glass of Swiss wine (CHF 10-15) from the First restaurant and carry it out to the Cliff Walk benches. Yes, you can do this. Drinking wine while suspended over a 1,000m drop is a uniquely Swiss experience. Ask for "something local" at the First restaurant terrace — they'll pour Fendant or Chasselas. Carry carefully, savor slowly while looking down at nothing but air.
