About Outdoor Grindelwald
Outdoor Grindelwald — part of Outdoor Switzerland AG — is a multi-activity adventure company that has been operating in the Swiss Alps since 1898, making it one of the longest-running outdoor recreation businesses in the Bernese Oberland. Their Grindelwald shop at Dorfstrasse 103 sits in the village centre, a short walk from both the Grindelwald Terminal gondola to Eigergletscher and the traditional Männlichen cable car. With over 125 years of history in the region, Outdoor brings an unmatched depth of local knowledge to everything from ski rentals to mountain guiding.
The winter rental department stocks a comprehensive range of skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets, goggles, gloves, and even full outerwear sets for visitors who arrive without gear. Equipment is maintained to Swiss precision standards, and staff — many of whom are qualified ski instructors or mountain guides — ensure proper fitting and setup. Beyond rentals, Outdoor offers ski school lessons for all levels, from first-time beginners on the nursery slopes to advanced skiers looking to refine technique on the Lauberhorn World Cup course. Their NWSA-accredited ski and snowboard school operates in multiple languages.
What makes Outdoor Grindelwald exceptional is the breadth of experiences under one roof. In winter, that means ski rentals plus lessons, snowshoe tours, and mountaineering courses. Come summer, the same shop pivots to ropes courses, jetboat rides, canyoning, and hiking excursions. For visitors to the Jungfrau Region who want a single trusted provider for equipment and guided experiences across seasons, Outdoor's century-plus track record and Dorfstrasse location make it an obvious choice.
