Switzerland Canton of Bern

Grindelwald

A picturesque Swiss village known for the Eiger North Face, a hub for skiing and mountaineering, and beloved for its stunning Alpine scenery.

Tips from the community

Grindelwald is a village located in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland and, despite its picturesque allure, it has no direct association with the Star Wars film franchise. As such, it was not used as a filming location for the Star Wars movies, which famously shot scenes in various global destinations such as the deserts of Tunisia, the redwood forests of California, and the ice planet landscapes of Iceland. However, fans of epic scenery and cinematic backdrops would appreciate Grindelwald for its stirring mountain vistas reminiscent of otherworldly landscapes, much like the various planets depicted in the Star Wars universe.

Along with the lights and the snow, I also like to snowboard (while my husband ski's) and would love the chance to experience some of the ski towns in Europe like this one.

    I love traveling in the summer when the sun is out and cities are bustling, but there are some places that need to be seen in winter for you to experience their true beauty. These are some of the places that I am longing to go for a winter getaway! Fair warning: festive lighting and a dusting of snow are my reasons for all of these places :) #seekerchallenge
