Grindelwald, Switzerland

Grindelwald offers stunning views from both the resort and the slopes, making it one of the most picturesque destinations in Switzerland. Nestled beneath the towering north face of the Eiger, this traditional Swiss village has been a favourite since Powder Byrne’s first ski programmes in 1985.

A Picturesque Swiss Resort

This famous Powder Byrne resort has undergone significant investment, including better access for our ski programmes with the V-cableway project. Additionally, the opening of the Eigerexpress has reduced travel time to get to the Eiger Glacier station, maximizing skiing (or hot chocolate) time for our guiding groups.
