A village of narrow streets and picturesque chalets set among alpine meadows, Grindelwald lies at the foot of the dramatic ledges of the Eiger's sheer north face.
To the left of the Eiger is the 3,104-meter Mettenberg and the 3,701-meter Wetterhorn, the most characteristic landmark of the Grindelwald valley.
Between the three mountains are the two Grindelwald glaciers. The Upper Glacier, about a 1.5-hour walk from the village, has an ice cave carved into its right-hand side.
