A traveler is planning a trip to Switzerland in September and wants to know about the First Cable Car from Grindelwald. They are specifically asking if it's possible to hop off at stops like Schreckfeld and Bort before continuing to First.
Key takeaways:
You can get on and off at both Bort and Schreckfeld during the First Cable Car ride.
The cabins have open doors at intermediate stations, allowing you to safely hop off.
There are good restaurants at both Bort and Schreckfeld, along with good hiking trails in the summer.
The Swiss Travel Pass covers various transport options, which might be useful for this journey.

Would I be able to get from First to Schreckfeld by cable car? We are planning to go on the First Flyer but some in our group may not join this activity so I was thinking we could meet up again at Schreckfeld afterwards.
I haven’t been there myself to try it but as there are stations there I would say you can get off or on yes. However, a member who has done that trip may correct me. I’d hate to swing by a berg restaurant and be locked in the gondola as I float by! It seems from my searching online that walking around the area is quite a gentle experience too.

Hi Lucas,
See my post from earlier this afternoon.
I was there only a few weeks ago and I’ve been there in the summer too. Yes, there are intermediate stations at Bort and at Schreckfeld. The cabins come off the main cables, keep moving slowly as they pass through the stations with the doors open for people to get on or off as they wish before the doors close and the cabin is launched onto the next cable.
Don’t be put off by ambiguous signs which seem to tell you to stay on. That’s just to stop people getting off when what they really want is to go all the way to First.
Both Bort and Schreckfeld have restaurants very nearby and there’s a big one at First. I can confirm that there is good walking in the summertime as well as skiing in the winter.

Oh ha! Sorry. I read your post to quickly and went cross-eyed apparently!
I read “Is it” Not “it is”. Ooops! But thanks for the extra details 🙂
