// ABOUT THIS VIDEO //
One thing is certain… Pfingstegg is fun for the whole family!
Pfingstegg is perched above Grindelwald, which means it’s one of the many great things to do in Grindelwald during the summer! Just catch a 5-minute ride on the Pfingsteggbahn to jumpstart your adventures!
PFINGSTEGG TOBOGGAN RUN
Get ready to zip down the hills on a mountain coaster! This 725-meter ride speeds around curve after curve with astonishing views of Grindelwald below and the Eiger in the distance. And at the end of your ride, it pulls both you and your cart back to the top.
PFINGSTEGG FLY LINE
Cruise through the trees during a 350-meter ride at around 12 km/hour! Gently kick your legs as you enjoy the unique perspective of the forest. And, just like the toboggan run, you don’t have to hike back to the top because it transports you back up!
PFINGSTEGG FUN PACKAGE
Pfingstegg already sounds fun, right?! There’s even more to love with the Pfingstegg FUN Package, which provides multiple rides at a discounted price. BUT, if you have a Swiss train pass, then this package may NOT be the best deal for you. (In fact, buying the FUN Package if you have our favorite Swiss rail pass will actually LOSE you money!) Watch the video to find out why!
HIKING IN SWITZERLAND
Pfingstegg is strategically placed beside numerous hiking trails from Grindelwald village, Grindelwald Gorge (Grindelwald Glacier Canyon), and even some of the glacier huts. So if you’re searching for Pfingstegg fun AND a nice walk, you can easily have both!

Flyline, Toboggan runs, canyon swing, and Glacier Canyon, all in one day. Yes, that will fit nicely. Thank you for another excellent video. Jim

[@roitapickard3629]

I really appreciate your videos guys. I have searched and watched multiple channels and videos for Swiss travel and i’ve gotta say your channel is the best. Your professional straight to the point videos filled with informative useful facts for every situation is very much appreciated and makes me want to watch all of your other videos. I also love your enthusiasm and love for switzerland. I also appreciate how you always address all the questions anyone may have and that eliminates the need to go search for the answer somewhere else. It’s litterally the one stop shop for swiss fans and travelers. Keep up the great work guys!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Wow, you are so encouraging! Thank you for your kind words and for sharing what you value most about our videos. We're also glad you can tell how much we love Switzerland :) Thank you for your support and for using our resources to plan your trip. Have a great time here!!

[@mm-cm6kc]

We're going to switzerland and I'm using your videos as guides. Thank you so much!!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Fantastic! We're so glad our videos have been helpful! If you see us while you're here, please stop and say hello :)

[@WereintheRockies]

So fun! Watched this with my kids and now we all want to go!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Yay! We’d love for your family to come visit sometime. It’s so kid (and teen) friendly here 😊 And we know this couple who’d be happy to show you around 😉 Grateful for your friendship and mentorship, Matt and Cheryl!

[@dricedt]

Thanks! Will be there in a few weeks. Will have to try this!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Cool! It's definitely a fun place to visit while you're in Grindelwald!

[@buzzbair2]

I love your videos. They really helped my trip last May.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thanks for letting us know! So glad we could be helpful!

[@ortzy2580]

Great video guys!!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thank you, we appreciate it! :)

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

So glad one of the mountain coasters is right there in Grindewald! Was wanting to do one but didn’t know where one was in the area. I’m very happy!!!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Yes, so convenient! Glad we can help you get some speed and thrills while you're there ;)

[@kennishimoto504]

Just got back from Switzerland. You two were super helpful. Was hoping to randomly run into you, even! Take care and God bless!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So glad to hear you had a wonderful trip! Although I'm sorry we didn't run into each other. Maybe next time :)

[@aka2388]

So excited to hear the cable car is free with the Berber overland pass!!

[@alisonkay5]

Thank you, very informative.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

We're so glad! Thanks for taking the time to comment and let us know :)

[@ervinslens]

This is such a professional presentation, outstanding cinematography guys!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thank you so much! Brett has the creative eye for videography, so I'll be sure he reads your compliment :) -Jana

[@SabaFaizanMUA]

Woww thank lovely you remembered me my last day, in Switzerland last year. I didn't go on flyer as i was scared but my son 4 years old went on his own and he loved it. Love ur videos

[@AplinsintheAlps]

That's awesome that your son went on this and loved it! We have 9 nieces/nephews so we always create videos that are kid-friendly. Thanks for watching and supporting us! :)

[@SabaFaizanMUA]

@Aplins in the Alps we hope, and we pray we can come this year as well. It's just that it has gone hard financially. If we do come how can we meet you up?

[@sivayamsiva9343]

Wonderful adventure, thanks for sharing very informative video and excellent photography congratulations 👌

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll be sure to pass your photography compliments on to Brett😊

[@AlansWoodworking]

Great video guys! We are going back to Grindelwald in September and we watch your videos to get psyched up. It's a shame you didn't walk up to Bäregg, you really feel like you are in the mountains. It's well worth the walk.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Love that you are coming back to this area again! We planned to walk up to Bäregg but we ran out of time because it takes a while to film a video. So, next time!! 😊

[@AplinsintheAlps]

But Brett hiked to Bäregg a few years ago and loved it!

[@RielleTrinos]

Traveling to Switzerland on October 10th for a week! Trying to watch all your videos to maximize our trip and plan ahead so we don't go to closed rides & etc! Learned a lot from it! Thank you!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So glad to hear our videos are helping you plan your trip! We hope you have a wonderful time visiting in October!

[@colin5311]

We visited the Pfingstegg zip line mid May 23 after watching this video, many thanks, a very relaxing unique experience, you never mentioned that they serve great apple pie in the restaurant up there! :-)

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So glad you enjoyed the zip line! And I didn't know about the apple pie. I'll have to try that next time Thanks for the recommendation!

[@amitmodi9979]

You guys are awesome, amazing and wonderful. I have watched all your videos. Thanks for every information in detail. I will be travelling to Switzerland for 15 days starting from 5th June along with my wife and 6.5 year old daughter. We hope to meet you all. Love from India.....❤

[@slyasleep]

I did this this past summer. Well, the hike anyway. The glacier gorge is worth it as well.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

The glacier gorge is definitely worth it!

[@arhamid8215]

man I love you guys !! 10/10 I SAVED THOUSANDDDDDDDSSS!!!

Woohoo that’s incredible!! 🤩We’re super super happy that we could help you save so much money! 🤑

Love all your vedios you guys are Amazing,some of the vedio I watched it too many times that i know it now word by word 😂,question do you have any vedios for Zermatt?

[@MDOT1990]

@4:18 thanks so much for your guys videos using it to plan my trip in May! What footwear are you wearing at 4:18?

[@kimcarroll1129]

Thank you! Great video as usual! Yes, we subscribe LOL We'll be there in June for almost a month in the Switzerland portion of our trip. We would love to see a video on what to wear depending on the month/ season. Looking back at last years temperatures looks like Wengen and that area can be 59 in the morning and up to 91 in the afternoon. Just for a video idea. We're still struggling with what to pack. And for me especially, I'm a minimalist, love a small suitcase.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Thanks so much for subscribing! A whole month in Switzerland sounds like an amazing trip! As far as clothing, we always recommend layers. As you've discovered, it can be quite chilly in the morning and then warm in the afternoons. Wearing layers lets you put on a take off throughout the day depending on temperatures. We've created a video on what to pack and while we don't give clothing advice for month-to-month, we do give some ideas about layering. You may or may not have seen the video but I'll leave the link here just incase you want to watch it:) We hope you have an amazing trip. Happy packing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJuUiqqVhZ6hhs0

[@kimcarroll1129]

@@AplinsintheAlps Oh thank you! I think I missed this one. We love your videos! They’ve been a HUGE help in planning our trip

[@huntercg88]

We had a great time up here today but were surprised to find out that the Unlimited Jungfrau Summer pass doesn’t include the cable car up to Pfingstegg while the Bernese Oberland pass does.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So sorry you were expecting those rides to be covered-that's such a bummer. This is one of many examples of why we're such big fans of the BO Pass!

[@sidranaway]

I have been looking for Grindelwald videos for all information before my trip and I should highlight how you guys manage to share all of it while also being precise and engaging. Love your videos. Just 1 quick question on this one - Is Pfingstegg Toboggan Run & Flyline activities covered under any of the travel passes (Jungfrau/BO) or are they discounted with the Half Fare Pass? Thank You!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi there, thanks for your encouragement! Unfortunately the passes don't provide a discount on the activities.

[@MrGreatplum]

I think my boys enjoyed Pfinstegg the most when we went (probably because of the toboggan run! ) - we loved it too! At the time, they were building the fly line so we must go on that next time :) I wonder if there’s a toboggan run with better views? (The one at Oeschinensee?)

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Oeschinensee does have nice views!

[@bozenajencek]

Nice places. Bj Slovenia

[@thomess]

I'll consider this place as well when I'm in Switzerland!! Is it possible to hike to Pfinstegg from the start of the cable car as well ?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

You sure can! It's more direct and therefore steeper than the hike we did, but posted at just 1 hour, 11 minutes

[@bwoodpig]

We had so much fun there with our two boys!! Be safe, I just saw they are evacuating Brienz due to rock slide risk? :(

[@AplinsintheAlps]

So glad you enjoyed it! This is another Brienz (in the eastern part of CH) where the rockslide risk is...but still, a terrible situation :(

[@samuelbhend2521]

Ah yes, the worldfamous Grillage of Vindelwald...🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful Place, as is the Rest of the Berner Oberland Region as well!

[@AplinsintheAlps]

We agree.....it's beautiful!

[@douglaslegnola2266]

Hey. Thanks for the video. My wife and I are going to Grindelwald in August with our 3 kids. Do you feel we could do everything by using buses or should we rent a car? 3 kids are between 9 and 11

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Douglas, definitely no need to rent a car. The transportation is incredible!

[@kii1359]

May I know how to buy the cable car tickets under half fare card prices?

[@ngyys7233]

Hi, may I check which toboggans are open in mid to end November please? Thank you.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

It’s open mid-May to mid-October.

[@AR-ktbffh]

Awesome content! By the way, Is there any difference between Berner Oberland pass first class and second class? I dont mind paying if there is an actula value in it

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Great question! We don't think there's much difference, especially if you'll mostly be sticking to the Jungfrau Region. But if you'll travel between Interlaken and Bern/Thun or Luzern with the pass, you might enjoy the nicer seating, which mostly comes down to more space and less people. Otherwise, many of the trains/lifts in the Jungfrau Region don't even have separate classes.

[@markusf58]

As a Swiss I‘d totally confirm Aplins reply - the quality of public transport in our country is really good and I personally prefer second class because it‘s less expensive. 😊

[@AR-ktbffh]

@@AplinsintheAlps thanks a lot! Very helpful and thorough content!

[@AR-ktbffh]

@markusf58 that's great! When it's coming from a Swiss I see no point paying for first class lol. Thanks a lot

[@markusf58]

@@AR-ktbffh 😂👍🏻

[@jenhooi]

I saw 2 cruises in your video, one is stated Interlaken and the other one stated Jungfrau, May I know what is the difference?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Hi Jen, so sorry but you'll have to help us understand what you mean. Cruises in this video?

[@jenhooi]

@@AplinsintheAlps Sorry, sorry. I wrongly input my comments here. The comments are supposed to be for a video regarding Brienz before playing yours. Too excited in watching the latest videos of Switzerland, because we will be arriving on this Sunday to have our 4 weeks holiday in this beautiful country.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

No worries! Enjoy your 4 week holiday!

[@saisriravalimantha9579]

Do we have to buy tickets in advance for toboggan run ?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Nope, you can purchase them there once you arrive.

[@csyawarusmani3032]

Is this open during December end?

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Sorry, Pfingstegg is only open from Mid-May to Mid-October!

[@heliophitravelvlog]

I’m planning my trip to Switzerland. Many times you guys talk so fast and it’s hard to follow. I replayed your video a few times and still confuse how to get from Grindelwald to Pfingstegg.

[@AplinsintheAlps]

There's a cable car from Grindelwald to Pfingstegg, or you can search the route on the SBB app! (Tip: You can change the settings on a video to slow it down to 75% speed!)

[@heliophitravelvlog]

@@AplinsintheAlps Thanks!

[@vidajavid7851]
