Gondola from Wengen to Grindelwald First in June?
A traveler named NicoB is planning a trip to Switzerland with their sister in late June, staying in Wengen for a few days.

Hello,
my sister and I are visiting Switzerland in late June. We will stay in Wengen for a couple days and I am trying to figure out if we can take a gondola from Wengen to Grindelwald First? Or do we only get there by train?
Also, we are purchasing the Adventure package (4 experiences), but now we also want to do the First Cliff Walk by Tissot. I see I have to purchase a separate ticket (Firstbahn for 30CHF) to do the first cliff walk. Is there a way to combine all of the above? Or what is the most cost efficient way to do all of this? I appreciate your help! I’ve been going in circles and am now worried that I’m not making smart bookings…
Lastly… is all of this doable in one day? We are super excited to visit Switzerland!!!

Hello NicoB and Welcome to MySwissAlps
The cable way to First starts at Grindelwald. To get there from Wengen you can take a train via Kleine Scheidegg. Normally you can take a cable car from Wengen to Männlichen and from there another cable car to Grindelwald. The latter is not running at the time you are there but a substitute bus service commences 22 June.
You can also train from Wengen to Grindelwald via Lauterbrunnen and Zweilütschinen.
You can do it in a day.
This map may help you get your bearings.
AHA! Thank you… that makes sense if part of the gondola route is not in effect at that time. I was confused by some info saying you can take a gondola and others saying you must train. Got it! Thank you for your help and the map is great!!

Hi Rockoyster-
And, the map will surely have the correct spelling for Zweilütschinen.
