You are invited to accompany Lieselotte and her friends the chickens on their very first hike in the Alps!

Lieselotte is the famous cow from a small village in Germany. Now she is finally on vacation, here with us in the Bernese Oberland. You are invited to accompany Lieselotte and her friends, the chickens, on their very first hike in the Alps. After an extensive gondola ride from Grindelwald Terminal to Männlichen, the hike proceeds step by step, happily following the tracks of the Grindelwald cows down toward the valley.
Along the way, 13 attractive experience stations with fun play opportunities await you. Excitement is guaranteed: you can search for the mountain crystal together with the chickens, try alphorn blowing, or climb the Eiger north face like real mountaineers. With so much play, fun, and enjoyment, hiking happens almost effortlessly and naturally, always with the majestic Eiger in view. The wonderful experience hike ends at the Holenstein middle station, where a new gigantic treetop walk awaits you. The cable car then conveniently takes you back to Grindelwald.
