The highlight of the three-day closing ceremony on Saturday, 31 March 2018, is the popular treasure hunt in the snow, organised by Jungfrau Railways. The starting shot is at 11 h in the Grindelwald-First ski area. There are 30 chests hidden in the snow, waiting for treasure hunters young and old. This year, the eager treasure hunters will be rewarded with prizes worth a total of 20,000 Swiss francs. The hunt ends at 14.30 h. The First summit station is the meeting point. The après-ski party with award ceremony at 17 h will be held at the Eiger+ event centre in Grindelwald. The top prize is a Skoda Fabia Active. There is also a chance to uncover a seasonal Jungfrau Ski Region pass, a notebook, a Coop shopping voucher, SnowpenAir tickets, a GoPro Hero 5 and much more.
Live bands and egg tapping
The winter finale will be launched on Good Friday, 30 March 2018, from 19.30 h. As a prelude, Marc Amacher – from “The Voice of Germany” – will perform a concert at the Eiger+ Eventplatz in Grindelwald. In addition to the treasure hunt, the Easter Surf Days take place during the Easter holidays at the Snowpark Grindelwald-First. Music and exceptionally built jumps are also provided. Creative tricks are in demand every day. From experienced cracks to daring beginners, all freestyle enthusiasts can turn up for the “Tricks for Goodies” at the snow park and win great prizes from Money Man. Traditionally, on Easter Sunday, 1 April, from 9:30 to 11 h, there is egg tapping in the snow park, and everyone is welcome.
