Resort informationGrindelwald, or the “glacier village” as it is known, is the largest and oldest resort in the Jungfrau region. One of the most attractive and popular tourist destinations in Switzerland. Grindelwald is a charming all year round resort and is therefore a very popular choice for those wishing to establish residency in Switzerland. Taxes in Switzerland are low and the standard of living and health care are very high.

Like many of the best dual season resorts, the village itself is low (1034m) but it has one thrilling difference - the 4000m peaks of the Eiger and Jungfrau tower over the village and spill their glaciers almost into the village itself. This is the Bernese Oberland at its best, a pleasure to visit, winter or summer.

The village is set in dramatic scenery beneath the peaks of the Eiger and the Jungfrau.

Virtually ski-in, ski-out with stunning views

Winter The network of cable cars and mountain railways serves a total of 213km of piste and gives the skiing a unique and romantic charm and all runs with Swiss effi ciency.

Grindelwald shares a ski pass with Wengen and Murren with a total of over 45 lifts. There are nursery slopes at Bodmi and also at Kleine Scheidegg served by the charming cog railway there are some nice long runs for beginners to progress to.

Intermediate skiers have plenty of long runs to choose from and can spend a day travelling right across to the to the Schilthorn, above Murren, at 2970m.

There is plenty of accessible off-piste skiing and heli-skiing and the mountain guides are amongst the best in the world. There are plenty of other winter sports on offer with some runs dedicated only for toboggans and snow tubing, including Europe’s longest (a 15km descent).

Plenty of mountain restaurants and stunning views

Winter sportsGrindelwald is the only resort where we have seen bicycle sledges, a wooden sledge which you sit on like a bike. There is also an ice rink and a good sports centre with a pool and wellness area. The resort has a long mountaineering tradition but there are also many cleared paths for walking.

There are plenty of mountain restaurants and this is the place to enjoy rosti at its best. Many restaurants such as the Eigerletscher have fabulous views, most are good value and have friendly staff with Swiss style service.

Après SkiThe nightlife is the most lively of the Jungfrau resorts and although it is mainly hotel-based, there are three discos and some good late night bars. The Challi bar in the Hotel Kreuz and Post, and Herby’s in the Hotel Regina are typical and are always busy.

The Jungfrau region also plays host to the annual music event SnowpenAir; the highest open-air concert in the world at 2061m above sea level.

Truly dual season with wonderful walks, fi shing, and climbing in Summer

SummerGrindelwald is one of the most scenic resorts in Switzerland and is a must for Japanese tourists doing Europe. The resort is as busy in summer as it is in winter and is truly dual season and has wonderful walks, fi shing, and climbing as well as the usual sports such as tennis.

The proximity to Interlaken with its lake and golf course makes this the perfect base for summer touring. The Swiss rails system is a delight and the train to the highest station, the jungfraujoch at 3,454m is always spectacular. This village has a special ambience both summer and winter. The Bernese Oberland has some of the most spectacular scenery in the Alps and the Lauterbrunnen valley is stunning at all times of the year.

A sound investment

Purchase costs In Canton Bern (Lauterbrunnen, Wengen and Grindelwald) the total purchase costs amount to around 3% of the purchase price including government purchase tax notary fees, and land registration fees.

FinanceSwiss banks will lend up to 70% of the purchase price and interest rates are currently very low at around 2% to 2.5%. Fixed rates and fl exible loans are also available.

RentingMany owners wish to rent their chalet out when they are not using it but they also want maximum fl exibility to use it themselves when they want. There is no obligation to rent your chalet or apartment but a few weeks rental will easily cover your annual property taxes and outgoings.

A full professional rental and management service may be arranged through the hotelier if you wish or you may rent privately or through a local agency.

Legalities In Grindelwald foreigners are permitted to buy apartments and chalets but only if they have a market value of over around 750,000 Sfrs. You may resell at any time to any buyer (Swiss, or foreign). At a referendum of 11th March 2012 the people voted to prohibit all new construction of second homes from 1st of January 2013.

Investment This is one of the last opportunities to buy a new property in the Swiss Alps as a holiday home and will be a sound and secure investment.
