[2025 Grindelwald ] Travel Guide for OUTDOOR - Bodmi Arena (Updated Apr)

This time we went to two ski resorts, Jungfrau Ski Resort and Bodmi Arena! I can only say that Switzerland is really suitable for skiing 😍🥹 📍Jungfrau Ski Resort advantage: • Huge in scale, with over 200km of trails and a wide variety of options (the easiest blue trail is 10k and is great!) • Suitable for all levels of skiing, from advanced to advanced • You can take the mountain train to Jungfraujoch and combine sightseeing with skiing (some people who don’t ski go up the mountain to play sledding 🛷) • The mountain scenery is magnificent and the view is great (there are trees and mountains on both sides of the slide, so beautiful!) • Complete facilities including sledding trails, restaurants, equipment rentals, etc. shortcoming: • Higher costs (transportation, lift tickets and ski passes) • The slides suitable for beginners are scattered and may not be concentrated enough for beginners • More crowds, especially during peak season • Far from the village, access to the ski area requires a cable car or train 📍Bodmi Arena advantage: • Convenient location, right next to the village of Grindelwald (many buses at the foot of the mountain can go to the ski resort) • Suitable for beginners, children or people who just want to experience it, with gentle slope and high safety • There is a ski school and magic carpet facility, learning friendly • Fewer tourists and a relaxed atmosphere • Low price, suitable for those with limited budget or short-term experience shortcoming: • The ski slopes are small and cannot satisfy intermediate and advanced skiers • No challenging terrain or long runs • The scenery is beautiful, but not as spectacular as the alpine ski areas • Lack of advanced facilities such as sled runs or mountain restaurants

The whole country is skiing! 🛹 In Switzerland, skiing is an ancient and traditional national sport. The natural advantages of the Alps make skiing in Switzerland a top-notch experience. From the high peaks of the Alps, you can speed down with the wind whistling through the forests. "Nothing is more beautiful than sunshine, mountains, and snow." 🏔 Introducing you to these four distinctive Swiss ski resorts, let's go skiing! 1. Fairy Tale Town: Grindelwald🌄 As a classic icon of Swiss tourism, the Jungfrau has always attracted tourists from all over the world with its snowy visage and beautiful stories. Grindelwald is the gateway to the Jungfrau. 🚋 Grindelwald is built with snowy peaks at the top and lush green grass at the bottom. The Jungfrau is often veiled in the distance, making it look like a town straight out of a fairy tale. 🏕 The Grindelwald ski area has dozens of cable cars and hundreds of ski runs. The Bodmi Arena ski area has many beginner slopes that are relatively gentle and quite long, suitable for beginners to fully stretch their muscles. You can freely shuttle through the forest. 2. The Most Beautiful Powder Snow: Andermatt🛫 Andermatt is located in the central part of the Alps and is the largest and most modern ski resort in central Switzerland. 🛴 The endless snow slopes here are vast, with deep snow and wide trails. The complete chain of cogwheel trains, ski towns, diverse ski runs, and cable railways makes it an ideal paradise for advanced skiing challenges. 🛹 You can also see the most beautiful powder snow in the Alps. 🌟 3. Glacier City: Zermatt🎐 Zermatt is located among the peaks of the Alps, surrounded by 38 peaks over 4000 meters high, including the famous Matterhorn, earning it the nickname "Glacier City." 😊 This is the highest year-round ski resort in the Alps, with a vertical drop of over 2133 meters and a "snow season" that lasts 365 days a year. With over 100 ski runs and 54 cable cars, it also has the longest downhill ski run in Europe, 25 kilometers, which can take you from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise straight down to Zermatt. 🎿 The best way to get here is by the Glacier Express. On the train, you can traverse the high mountains and deep valleys of the Alps, enjoying breathtaking scenery along the way. 🚊 4. Glamorous and Wealthy: St. Moritz💎 St. Moritz has always been known for its high-end elegance and is one of the world's most famous and oldest ski resorts. 🚏 It hosted the Winter Olympics twice, in 1928 and 1948. The skiing facilities here are top-notch, with 350 kilometers of extremely smooth ski runs and 59 alpine skiing facilities. 🏎 Its long history and cultural heritage also make St. Moritz the top choice for many wealthy individuals, politicians, and royalty for their annual vacations. 🎆 The unparalleled natural conditions, the early industrial revolution advantages in Europe, and the developed tourism industry make Switzerland one of the world's most worthwhile travel destinations. 🎇 In simple terms, Switzerland is the "Hermès" of ski destinations. Although not cheap, experiencing it once in a lifetime is worth it. 🎈

The enthusiasm for skiing from the Winter Olympics continues unabated, and the skiing season in Switzerland is very long, lasting from November to March or even April. It's really worth experiencing when traveling. ▫️ Switzerland is forever the moonlight in my heart. As a skiing beginner + tourist, the Bodmi ski resort in Grindelwald is definitely a good choice, suitable for everyone from beginners to pros. The scenery of the whole town is unbeatable, with beautiful snow-capped mountains and chalets, and a well-developed tourism industry (many places are too desolate to even find a convenience store). ▫️ Start by taking a small train from Interlaken to Grindelwald, which takes about half an hour. Then take bus 124 up the mountain to Das Bodmi station. The scenery along the way is super super beautiful, giving a truly peaceful feeling. Most of the people on the bus are carrying ski gear, and the scene is quite spectacular. It seems that locals start off from home already wearing ski boots, and if you're afraid of getting lost, just following everyone else is fine~ ▫️ There is no admission fee for the ski resort, and ski equipment can be rented. It is recommended to rent before taking the bus at the foot of the mountain, as it is more expensive on the mountain. You can also hire an instructor. At that time, we booked a ski package online, which included local instructor teaching by the hour~
