First Adventure Challenge

First, located above Grindelwald in Switzerland, sits at an altitude of approximately 2,168 meters and is one of the most popular destinations in the Alps. To reach First, you can take a cable car from Grindelwald, passing through Bort and Schreckfeld stations. On the way down, besides the cable car, there are various adventure activities to choose from. Currently, a one-way cable car ticket costs CHF 30, while a round-trip ticket is CHF 60. The prices are not cheap, so having a Half Card or Swiss Travel Pass is very useful. Both cards offer a 50% discount on ticket purchases. Cable car ride up + adventure activities on the way down: * First to Schreckfeld: High-altitude zipline First Flyer or eagle-style zipline First Glider * Schreckfeld to Bort: Scenic Mountain Cart ride * Bort to Grindelwald: Scenic Trottibike Scooter ride For those who enjoy adventure activities, you can purchase the ADVENTURE PACKAGE offered by the First mountain area. This package includes the cost of the cable car ride to First, so you don’t need to buy separate tickets. It’s convenient and cost-effective. This time, I chose to challenge the Glider and Mountain Cart. For pure hikers, there are two options: (1) First -> First Cliff Walk, a sky-high walkway along the cliff. (2) Hike from First to Bachalpsee (a stunning alpine lake), then return to First along the same route and take the cable car back to Grindelwald to complete a day’s itinerary.
