Alpine playground & picnic area

Message from Tanya@SwissFamilyFun

This alpine playground and picnic area is on the Grindelwald Männlichen mountain, near the Holenstein gondola station (see on map).

It's a nice place to rest and play after hiking the Lieselotte activity trail down from Männlichen.

The main attraction is an elevated wooden path that winds through the forest, earning its "treetop" name. It has a couple fun elements, like netted suspension bridges and curvy slides.

The picnic area has several tables with benches and an area for grilling.

It's a small playground, so in my opinion, not really big enough to justify visiting it on its own without hiking the Lieselotte trail.

Learn more on Männlichen website.

How to get there

Most families visit this playground after hiking down the mountain on the Lieselotte activity trail, which visits over a dozen fun activity stations along the way.

You can also reach the playground directly with the Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola, by getting off at the Holenstein station. You can board this gondola at the Grindelwald Terminal station.

If you are staying in Wengen, after playtime, you can ride the gondola from Holenstein back up to Männlichen. Then a second cable car from Männlichen down to Wengen. I would only recommend this if you have the Jungfrau Travel Pass that includes all these gondola rides, else it becomes quite expensive.
