Grindelwald Beginner Skiing

There’s a strong argument for learning to ski here. As well as excellent slopes to graduate to once the basics are mastered, there’s everything else to make you come back for more: that view, the ambience, and charming cafes and restaurants to relax in.

Even the weakest link – the old lifts and slow trains - may be an advantage to help you pace things through the day.
First’s ‘Bodmi’ beginner area has its own draglift, but it’s low and suffers from too much sun; once you’ve got your legs, the Oberjoch chair gives access to blues to each side though to make it all the way back to town involves a short red section or downloading between Schreckfeld and Bort.

The good beginner area at the top of Kleine Scheidegg has lots of terrain to progess to and is at reasonable altitude for good snow. The long blue meandering back to Wengen is fine in good condition (not always the case) but often busy. Rather isolated, but something to aim for, the Männlichen chair serves a blue; it could be reached direct from Wengen by cable car, making the return trip the same way. Wengen has a nursery area in the centre which has recently been extended. Both children and adults can have a reduced rate pass to cover just this area.
