Grindelwald is where Powder Byrne began in 1985, and it remains at the heart of our most meaningful ski experiences. Discover why this unique resort, with its breathtaking alpine scenery and diverse range of slopes, is a cornerstone of our ski touring and off-piste skiing Client for Life offering.
Nestled beneath the towering north face of the Eiger, this traditional Swiss village offers far more than just picturesque views. Grindelwald provides direct access to some of the most varied and exciting terrain in the Alps, making it the perfect base for our ski touring and off-piste adventures.
Grindelwald connects effortlessly to Wengen via the Männlichen and Kleine Scheidegg ski areas, opening endless opportunities to explore away from the crowds. On selected days, our guests also venture across to Mürren and the dramatic slopes beneath the Schilthorn, where lift accessed runs and remote descents offer a fresh challenge. With the right conditions, experienced local guides can lead you on routes that trace the valleys and ridgelines that link these iconic resorts, uncovering quiet powder fields and unspoiled backcountry trails along the way.
Our programme is designed for skiers looking for something more than just mileage on groomed pistes. With a balanced mix of Powder Byrne’s on piste guiding and guided off piste days led by qualified mountain experts, this experience combines comfort, exploration, and personal challenge. Whether you are stepping into the backcountry for the first time or returning to find new lines, our approach ensures every day is tailored to the group’s ability, confidence, and energy.
Each morning begins with a relaxed briefing and a plan shaped around the latest weather and snow conditions. There’s no need to check maps or worry about logistics – our guides take care of it all. From reserved lunches at hidden alpine restaurants to seamless transitions between pistes and off piste zones, this is skiing at its most thoughtful and fulfilling.
Evenings in Grindelwald are equally rewarding. You can stay at the luxurious Hotel Bergwelt, where timeless alpine elegance meets modern comfort. The hotel features a state-of-the-art spa, panoramic lounges and exceptional dining – all just moments from the slopes. Powder Byrne clients benefit from full in-resort support, including a dedicated team and resort shuttle service, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience throughout the week.
This is a chance to ski as Powder Byrne always intended, with freedom, purpose, and connection to the mountain. Grindelwald’s unique setting, combined with its access to Wengen and Mürren, makes it a gateway to some of the most remarkable skiing in the Alps. Add to that the highest levels of service and comfort, and you have a winter experience that captures everything our Client for Life programme stands for.
