The winter insider tip trail to the Faulhorn W5

This tour, with a length of 21 kilometres and 1,688 metres of elevation, starts in the centre of Grindelwald. The Terrace Trail leads to the Rasthysi, continuing on through Nodhalten in the direction of the Waldspitz mountain inn. The sunny terrace with a view of the Eiger is the ideal place to relax for a while before taking the sledging run across the snow-covered Bachläger to Lake Bachalp. The winter hiking trail continues from there to the Faulhorn (2,681 m.a.s.l.). The descent to the Bussalp on the longest sledging run in Europe (15 kilometres) starts here. Anyone who still has some stamina left can extend the tour by walking through Rasthysi and Nodhalten to Bort and then taking the gondola down to Grindelwald. Or you can take the bus or hire a sledge on the Bussalp to return to the village..

The circular trail can also be completed with a sledge ride back to Grindelwald.
