Four Awesome Days In Grindelwald, Switzerland

Introduction

In 2025, my wife, teenage son, and I took an awesome summer vacation to Central Europe. It’s essentially split up in to three parts – we spent the first 5 days in Prague and the surrounding area, then went to Salzburg Austria, then Grindelwald Switzerland. This split up allowed us to see and experience some of the best of central Europe, with enough variety to seem like 3 completely different vacations. I am going to do 3 separate posts for each part, since we did so much in each place.

I’ll do my best to describe and show what we did – with the itinerary, specific links, recommendations, highlights, what to avoid, etc.

For this (almost) last part of the trip, we went to Grindelwald, Switzerland! I can’t recommend this enough, in particular for families with kids 8 and up. The scenery here is amazing. The town itself is nestled in a valley with mountains all around and great views are had from everywhere in town. Several cable car lines leave from the town and go to amazing views with many activities to do – there is something here for everyone.

How We Got Here

Grindelwald, Switzerland was the third part of the trip – we came here from Salzburg, Austria. To get here we took trains – 3 different legs.

Day 1 – Arrival

We got to Grindelwald pretty late – about 5:30PM local time – so there wasn’t time to do much other than enjoy the view from the balcony of our Airbnb. Which was amazing!
