In the parks, various installations such as kickers, rails, steep corners, waves and dips await both experts and beginners. With its radius of 5.5 m the superpipe on Schreckfeld is one of the biggest and best halfpipes in Switzerland. After the snowboarding the various après-ski bars invite you in, and those wishing to party until the early hours of the morning have the choice between bars with live music and nightclubs.

Nordic Skiing

The Alpine topography of the Jungfrau Region offers little space for Nordic cross country skiing. The views of the mountains, though, are all the more spectacular.

In the Lauterbrunnen valley the 12 km track from Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg leads along the Weissen Lütschine River and frozen waterfalls as far as the Upper Lauterbrunnen valley (classical and skating). In Grindelwald the 17 kms of track in Grindelwald Grund offer something for all levels of ability.
