Common Basis for the UNESCO World Heritage
Eigerness - Original Grindelwald
From a wellness workshop, an association was founded in Grindelwald that represents the Eiger village in all its diversity - because “Eigerness” is far more than just wellness.
Grouped into five areas - wellness, culinary art, culture & tradition, activities and sustainability - synergies are created to offer guests high-quality experiences that all have one thing in common: they are “Original Grindelwald”. Nestled in the Swiss UNESCO World Heritage Site Jungfrau Aletsch, Grindelwald surprises visitors with its unique experiences.
