Info Pavilion and construction site news
The Info Pavilion at the office containers in Grindelwald Grund is open seven days a week from 08.00 – 18.00 h. Questions or suggestions can be put into a letterbox at the feedback salon
or sent by e-mail to [email protected]. Those who prefer to be informed from home can visit www.jungfrau.ch/v-bahn.
GGM Männlichen Railway
During winter there is no construction and assembly work. Minor works are carried out inside the stations. The construction and assembly work will continue from 1 April 2019.
Access to the GGM for all winter sports enthusiasts takes place along the Lütschine via a secured path. Delivery of goods takes place via the construction site access and is always guaranteed.
Parking situation, ski and local bus and bus stop
Thanks to the replacement parking spaces on the south bank of the Lütschine and east of the Werkhof, 150 more parking spaces will be available than in previous winter seasons. The parking is provided via a transport service. The parking fee remains CHF 5 per day. In order for snow removal to be possible, a general night-time parking ban applies to all parking spaces. Access to the GGM and WAB railway facilities from the parking spaces on the south bank of the Lütschine is via the ski bridge and the
temporary pedestrian walkway at the Mountain Hostel. For all guests in Grindelwald, we recommend using the ski bus, which runs every 15 minutes. The bus stop is located directly in front of the Info Pavilion.
