Located in Grindelwald, Mount Felster (First) is breathtakingly beautiful! This mountain not only has super spectacular Alpine snow scenery, but also classic green valleys, stunning lakes and wildflowers and pine trees all around, so you can't help but continue to take pictures from every angle. It only takes twenty minutes to take the cable car up the mountain from Grindelwald and you’ll soon be in a fairytale world, open year-round and not afraid of seasonal restrictions! It is recommended to wander from the main town of Grindelwald to the cable car station, buy a good cable car ticket from Grindelwald First and go straight up the mountain, along the way you can already overlook the spectacular view of Grindelwald village; This air trail runs cliffside with deep valleys at your feet, great for photos. For some excitement, try a mountain bike (Trottibike) or zip line (First Flyer/Glider) and take the cable car back down the mountain. The family or friends have found the right items to play, some sections are more steep, pay attention to safety precautions before playing. Attraction Tips and Notes: 1. The weather changes quickly in the mountains, remember to bring a warm jacket and raincoat, especially in autumn and winter or when the weather is unstable. 2. The UV rays are quite high on the summit, remember to apply sunscreen and bring sunglasses. 3. More tourists in summer, it is recommended to leave earlier, you can avoid the crowds, take pictures beautiful. 4. Felster Hill is open year-round, however some facilities may be suspended in winter due to snow accumulation. 5. Dining options on the mountain are limited, you can bring your own light snacks or water, no restaurants near Lake Bachap. summary: Whether you love taking pictures, love hiking, or want to experience Alpine excitement, Mount Grindelwald Felster is a must-see, leaving you with beautiful photos that will last a lifetime!
