Embark on a unique sensory walk through the exposed rock galleries and tunnels of the Glacier Canyon in Grindelwald where history meets geology!

Looking for an accessible hike near Interlaken? Then this activity is for you! Not only is this short hike accessible to everyone (including strollers and wheelchairs) but it is also takes place in the amazing setting of the Grindelwald Glacier Gorge.

It took 250 million years for Mother Nature to carve out this incredible canyon! Where there used to be a glacier, today only the canyon remains which allows you to walk in the Grindelwald Glacier Gorge on a comfortable path in just about a couple of hours.

The rushing water cascades freely from the mountains into the Lütschine River below, sometimes causing a sudden rush of wind through the canyon and a rapid temperature flux as rays of light reflect along the steep walls. Be sure to take some warm clothing with you and you'll be in great conditions to enjoy this hike in Grindelwald!

Surrounded by cliffs as high as 300 metres (984ft), this 1 km long (0.6miles) canyon is truly enchanting with its 170 m² Spiderweb (1.8 square ft) and exposed rock walls. The spiderweb is a net structure that allows you to climb and swing above the tumultuous Lütschine, offering a unique thrill. Maintained by a professional team of experienced mountain guides, the canyon offers a safe experience to enjoy the geological and historical aspects of this gem in Grindelwald.

This hike near Interlaken is the perfect way to slow down a little and look at the Swiss Alps from another angle. Come and get your ticket to the glacier canyon walk in Grindelwald today!
