The tour will begin in the idyllic mountain village of Grindelwald, where you’ll catch a cable car to the peak of the First. Mount First is a minor summit positioned at the slopes of Schwarzhorn in the Bernese Oberland, giving you encompassed views of geologically stunning terrain. Our hiking tour guide will lead you throughout the thrilling voyage and eventually take you to a vantage point at the top of the First peak, where you’ll float among the clouds on a glass platform. This sky-scraping viewpoint overlooks the Jungfrau Region, where breathtaking panoramic views of the neighboring cliffs and lush Swiss valleys can be admired (subject to weather conditions). During this exploration, the guide will highlight the surrounding views, such as the Bernese Alps, and reveal fascinating facts about the region’s heritage.

Arriving at Lake Bachalpsee, which is elevated at a staggering 2,265 meters (7,431 feet) above sea level, there will be a chance to capture the entrancing radiance of the indigo-blue glacier lake, which is where it gets its name, the Blue Jewel.

Our guide will share various compelling facts regarding the lake, including its captivating glacial origins and unique ecological features.
