We were heavily warned off this place by several people but did also get a couple good reviews from people who had been before. Ultimately I’m glad we went, the views were fabulous, but I think we totally lucked out that it wasn’t a very busy day and the weather was perfect, which meant it was stunning at the Top and there wasn’t as many people as I expected there to be. We visited end April 2026 and booked tickets at the train station 15min before leaving after confirming favourable weather conditions. We did the train/cable car up via Grindelwald and the trains back down via Lauterbrunnen. I would recommend doing this to see a lot of great/varied views.

The location and facilities are amazing, but the crowds and their behavior make it less charming. Avoid peak tourist season and midday hours. Extremely expensive for adults. Very inexpensive for children, and more expensive for pets than the price of a child.
