The Pfingstegg mountain in Grindelwald has great views and fun amusements, including a summer toboggan and fly line through the forest. After enjoying the views, you can hike down the mountain instead of riding the cable car down. It's a nice way to stretch your legs and enjoy the mountain a bit longer.
This trail is a narrow dirt path with switchbacks, suitable for casual hikers and families with younger kids that have some hiking experience. Much of the trail is in the forest, with occasional views of the Grindelwald valley.
Along the way, you'll pass Bergasthaus Marmorbruch, where you can stop for refreshments.
