Great for lovers of nature, the walk takes 1-2 hours to complete and covers a distance of roughly 0.6 miles (1km) with interactive experiences along the way. You’ll also take in views of the waterfalls, abseiling cliff climbers, and, of course, the roaring glacial river itself.

Go sledding and tubing at BodmiARENA, where your tickets to the sledding hill include the use of a sled, snowtube, or balancer. Ride as long as you want on the family-friendly slopes; tickets to BodmiARENA also get you access to the magic carpet and kids’ play zones at Grindelwald Ski Resort.
