Glacier Canyon and Crystal Museum

Older than the dinosaurs, it took Mother Nature eons to carve out this incredible canyon. The Upper Grindelwald Glacier sits 1,400 meters (4,600 ft) above sea level, making it one of the lowest glaciers in the Swiss Alps. You can now walk one kilometer into the gorge via a wooden walkway and explore the unique rock formations and tunnels. There's also information points along the way so you can learn about the unique history of Glacier Canyon. Expect plenty of beauty. Inside the canyon, rushing water cascades freely from the mountains into the Lütschine River below, sometimes causing a sudden rush of wind through the canyon and a rapid temperature flux as rays of light reflect along the steep walls. Looking for an even bigger spectacle? Every Friday until 22:00, the canyon walls light up so you can enjoy an immersive experience in one of nature's most beautiful locations!
