Me and my family are planning a trip to Switzerland this October-December. We are planning to hopefully go to First to explore its beautiful landscape and hopefully have a beautiful picnic there. However I am concerned whether the cable cars up to First would still be operating during November and December periods(specifically 30th November). I tried looking for any information on the internet but I haven’t found anything reassuring me yet so I’m just going to ask to forum and hope for a reply 🙂 thanks.

Hello Coolmoehtut2 and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

You’re in luck. According to the SBB timetable the Grindelwald – First cableway recommences service on 30 November.

Use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) or the highly-recommended SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) to plan your travel, find fares* and buy tickets if required. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. *SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, mobile app allows you to nominate full or half-fare and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass) if that offers the best fare.

Late November would be an unusual time for a picnic at such a high altitude. Picnic is normally a ‘laze on the grass in the summer sun’ acitivity
