BEFORE YOU GO

Plan your Faulhorn Trail visit

Plan the access as well as the visit

Catalog activity time excludes the journey, queues and the connection to your next overnight.

Location and access

The saved day also lists First’s Cliff Walk and adventure activities. A long Faulhorn outing leaves less room for queues and extra rides. [4]

MAKE IT YOUR TRIP

Make it fit your day

Decide how far to walk before setting out. Snow, exposed terrain and the last gondola matter more than a nominal catalog duration. [4]

Other places to consider

Compare their real locations and the journey before adding another stop. These suggestions do not promise a same-day connection.

First Cliff Walk

The First Cliff Walk is a short exposed walkway at the top of the First gondola. Choose it for an accessible mountain-view stop within a larger First outing.

First Adventure Park

Build a First day around the adventure activities you actually want. Flyer, Glider, carts and Trottibike have separate operating conditions and queues.

Grindelwald

Use Grindelwald as a base for First and the Jungfrau network. Separate village time from the higher excursions rather than counting them as one short visit.
