Grindelwald will open its first six seater chair, will pull down wind-protection hood, in the Kleine Scheidegg sector, next winter. The new Honegg chair will serve the widened Honegg run which will also have new snowmaking. It is the resort's first six seater chair, adding to the nine quads, two gondolas, three funicular railways and cable car (tram).
Snowmaking across Grindelwald’s ski area has now been extended to cover 40km (25 miles) or 25% of the total 160km (100 miles) of runs. A new reservoir is being created at Fallboden to accommodate the addition water requirements.
The improvements are part of a €20m investment by Jungfrau Railways and is part of a rolling programme of upgrades scheduled to continue over coming years.
The Jungfrau regional lift ticket, as well as those for individual areas within the full pass region – which includes the skiing of Murren, Grindelwald and Wengen (43 lifts and 213km/140 miles of trails) , remains ‘frozen’ at 2006-7 prices. A six day pass costs 295 Swiss Francs for adults – currently approximately 190 Euros.
