The First region to the east of Grindelwald is a paradise for both tobogganing fans and hikers alike, who have some 40 km of beautifully prepared winter trails to go at. And the 15-km-long toboggan run from the Faulhorn down to Grindelwald is the longest in Europe. Not only are there countless cosy mountain restaurants to provide sustenance en route, but the views of the Jungfrau range to be had on this tour are indescribably beautiful.
