The Ski Club in Grindelwald ...
Grindelwald lies at the base of the Jungfrau ski region, with 155km of local slopes served by a fleet of increasingly modern lifts, affording access to terrain across two varied areas.
The main slopes are shared with the neighbouring resort of Wengen, and there is conveniently a separate area of sunny pistes on First. The resort also provides some of the best off-snow diversions of any in the Alps. A trip up to Jungfraujoch is a must, and, in addition, the resort boasts Europe’s longest sledging run and an extensive network of mountain walking trails.

Pros and cons
- Fantastic scenery dominated the the Eiger’s North Face
- Large intermediate ski area
- Lots to do off the slopes, especially for tobogganing and winter walking
- Easy to get to using the train network
- Slow train links between areas, but new gondolas will dramatically improve this
- Most of the challenges for advanced skiers are off piste
- Village can be shady in the heart of winter
- Low-altitude resort runs can struggle for snow, but snowmaking has helped
On the Slopes
The major area of slopes is shared with Wengen and offers a mix of a few wooded runs and much more extensive open slopes – all served by fast lifts. The smaller First area is mainly above the treeline but offers sunny runs, great views and is also home to a top-class terrain park and ski cross course. Note that several areas are designated as skier-free wildlife reserves, where you may well spot chamois.

In the Resort
The central buildings are mainly in traditional chalet style, in keeping with the resort’s long mountaineering history. The village can feel very jolly at times, especially when events are going on in town or up on the slopes. Although the road through goes nowhere, traffic can sometimes be intrusive.
For Families
It’s not the most convenient place for families because of its spread-out nature. However, the sheer variety of off-slope activities make this a good bet for families not looking to spend their whole holidays on skis or on a snowboard. For the younger ones, Snowli Kids Clubs are based at both Bodmi (First) and at the top of Männlichen.
For Après
Tipirama – a wigwam at Kleine Scheidegg, sometimes with DJs and live bands – is a fun place immediately after skiing. There are various (mainly open air) bars to stop in on the way down to Grund. The liveliest are the Rancher on run 22, which attracts a young crowd, the Holzerbar on run 21 and the Aspen Hotel a little further down the hill.
In town, the terrace of the C&M Café und Mehr is good for coffee and cake. Later on, there’s live music in several bars and hotels, such as the Challibar in the Hotel Kreuz & Post, but it isn’t a place for bopping until dawn. The Espresso bar in the Spinne Hotel is lively and the Gepsi Bar in the Eiger is a favourite. Both the Mescalero in the Spinne and Plaza in the Sunstar are popular clubs.

Chris Tomlinson
Repping dates: 04/01/2025 - 18/01/2025I spend most of the winter in Morzine, where I once ran a chalet. I have written a series of books about my winter life called 'Skiing with Demons (1, 2 and 3). They document my experiences as a chalet host and my sometimes tempestuous relationship with skiing. My summer passion is fell walking and I try to spend most of it in the Lake District and on the Pennine Mountains.
(more info here: www.skiingwithdemons.com)
Rodney Whenray
Repping dates: 18/01/2025 - 01/02/2025I started skiing in my early 20's and have managed to ski most years since then, mainly in Europe but occasionally in America or Canada. I enjoy skiing both on and off piste. I joined the Ski Club to take advantage of Freshtracks holidays and to utilise the Resort Repping services. I feel I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to become a Ski Club rep to give something back to the club and take the opportunity to ski, and share the odd drink, with like minded people in resort. Outside skiing I enjoy hill walking and mountain biking.
Philippa Oram
Repping dates: 01/02/2025 - 15/02/2025I love being in the mountains and countryside walking/cycling in the summer and skiing in the winter. Skiing is definitely my passion, especially the thrill of deep powder. I discovered the ski club around 15 years ago and have enjoyed meeting and skiing with SCGB members and reps on many Freshtracks weekends and weeks. I completed the Reps course in Dec 22 and met a wonderful group of guests on my first week of repping in Cortina.
Robert Anderson
Repping dates: 15/02/2025 - 01/03/2025I love the outdoors, and the combination of snow and mountains creates a special attraction. For many years I have introduced friends and family to skiing, helping them to develop and share in a great sport and environment. I saw being a Rep as a chance to meet new people, make friends, and share this passion. My other passion is rugby, which I played for over 30 years, and have also coached and refereed. I also enjoy scuba diving, which I have pursued in many countries, and one of the most interesting was an ice-dive at Tignes-le-lac.
REP TBC
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 14/03/2025We are still early in the process of assigning Reps for the 2024/25 winter season. Thank you for your patience whilst we make these arrangements.
Eamonn Murphy
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 14/03/2025I’ve been repping for the Ski Club GB since 2008, travelling with them to many destinations around Europe and Canada. I’ve been a keen cyclist most of my life which I find to be great preparation for a ski season. This season I’m looking forward to hopefully skiing the best conditions in Tignes and Cortina training and skiing with friends.
With the Ski Club I’m excited about returning to rep on two Freshtracks holidays, the first in Sun Peaks, British Columbia Canada and then Arosa in Switzerland. Both resorts have a unique charm about them with Arosa linking into the great resort of Lenzerheide. For me, skiing is all about the love of the mountains, the people you meet and the experiences you share along the way. Looking forward to a safe and wonderful season!
