Select participants and date
A cold wind cuts across the open deck of the cable car as it lifts you above spruce and pasture, and for a breathless moment the village of Grindelwald is a model beneath your feet. The guide — a local with an easy way of explaining routes and weather — hands over the skip-the-line ticket and points toward a sheer sweep of north-face rock: the Eiger, blunt and raw, as if the mountain itself dared you to look away.
