Glacier Gorge

The Glacier Gorge (Gletscherschlucht) was formed beneath the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, where water carved a canyon into the rock with cliffs reaching up to 300 metres high. Paths, tunnels, and rock galleries lead through the gorge, and stretched across it is a network of steel cables known as the 'spider web', which visitors can walk along. From the town centre, the entrance can be reached on foot in about 35 minutes or by bus, and there is a car park at the entrance. The gorge is open only during the warmer half of the year, from May through autumn, and is closed in winter.
