City: Grindelwald

Grindelwald is situated at the foot of the three world famous mountains Eiger, Moench and Jungfrau, close to the Brienz and Thun lakes, in the Bernese Oberland region .In no other region of central Europe glaciers are so easily accessible as they are here. The region is offering a 300 km/ 180 miles network of hiking and mountain paths, embracing one of the most beautiful of all Alpine regions, climbing attractions such as rock and ice climbing courses, week-long tours, glacier hikes and pre-Alpine trekking.The region is rich in folklore, too. Costumes, customs, music and festivities are as genuine as the people themselves. Visitors can see a wide range of rural skills - such as mountain farming and cheesemaking - in the most natural scenic surroundings.

This folk museum features information and displays on local customs, alpine cheese-making, and the birth and growth of mountaineering and winter sports.
