Time of the last gondola from First to Grindelwald

Short summary – read this first

Robert is planning an afternoon trip to First Bachalpsee and wants to spend more than 3 hours there. He is unsure about the last train timings from First to Grindelwald, as he found conflicting information, with one source saying it's at 16:45 and another saying 18:00.

Key takeaways:
  • The last gondola from First to Grindelwald operates until 18:00 daily between May and October, so Robert can stay longer in June.
  • Check the gondola's operational hours on the official website for any updates or seasonal changes.
  • Consider arriving earlier to enjoy more time at Bachalpsee before the last gondola departs.

    I plan to go to First Bachalpsee afternoon. I would like to spend more than 3 hours there.

    I saw some news said the last train from First to Grindelwald is 16:45!Is this true?

    Since I check SBB which told the last train from First to Grindelwald is 18:00.

    It is appreciated for the answer.

    Thanks a lot!

    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    The departure time for the last gondola from First down to Grindelwald varies according to the time of year.

    Between 9 May and 6 October 2024, the last gondola down is at 18:00. At other times of the year, it stops operating earlier.

    I gather from one of your other posts that you will be there in June, so it will be running until 18:00 at that time.

    I hope this clarifies things for you!
