Grindelwald

Where the obsession began

A spontaneous search for snow became family Christmases, lessons and the start of CarveCast.

#6 in my Top Ten film · October 2026

December 2022: looking for snow

The beginning was not a carefully planned ski career. A trip took us from Champagne towards Grindelwald in search of snow, and I had my first few hours as a beginner. We booked to return the following Christmas. That decision changed how I spent my free time.

Learning, rather than pretending

For the Christmas 2023 family holiday I had already been practising at Chatham, Hemel, Landgraaf and Winterberg. I still struggled. Mae, our instructor, became a friend, and the holiday made me want to improve rather than give up. That is the honest starting point behind the later qualifications and mountain trips.

A family place

Christmas 2024 was our third family visit, with a big chalet and the family together. My Top Ten film puts Grindelwald at number six because this is where the obsession began—not because I have tried to reduce every piste to a score. Episode 2 gives the resort its own spotlight.

Finding the right mountain day

Use the Jungfrau region’s current maps and operating information to choose your area and transport. Grindelwald and Mürren belong in the same regional conversation, but a visit to one should not be treated as proof that you have skied every part of the other.
