Indagare's Peter Schlesinger
When people picture Switzerland—its quaint villages with timbered chalets, dramatic mountains and bucolic high-alpine meadows with cows and goats—they're picturing the Bernese Oberland. And what a gorgeous picture.
Grindelwald is the epitome of Swiss mountain charm: An emerald valley dotted with cows and half-timbered houses, all lined with dramatic mountains and snowcapped peaks—including the Eiger and Jungfrau, two of the country’s most famous peaks aside from the Matterhorn. Set in the Bernese Oberland, the village is surrounded by outdoor adventure year-round from skiing and snowshoeing to hiking and parasailing.
