More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Zurich in the pale morning light and the coach hums north, the flat roofs of the city giving way to steely ridgelines and deep valleys. Snow fields begin to crowd the road; the Eiger’s north face edges into view like a cliff that keeps watch over the valley. By midmorning you’re in Grindelwald, skis and boots waiting at the hire shop, the Bodmi beginner slopes rolling out beneath the giant face.

Book early and reserve sizes
Equipment and group slots are limited—reserve your boot size and lesson spot well in advance to avoid last-minute shortages.
Layer for alpine conditions
Wear moisture-wicking base layers plus an insulated mid-layer and a shell; temperatures vary rapidly from valley to slope.
Protect skin and eyes
High-altitude sun and reflective snow increase UV exposure—use SPF lip balm and goggles with good UV protection.
Fuel and hydrate for a long day
Carry a small insulated water bottle and a high-energy snack; a 12‑hour day plus learning on snow will drain energy reserves.
Helmet
Protects against falls during learning and is typically included, but bring your own if you prefer a personal fit.

Ski goggles
