Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Not been to teh Hotel, but if it's teh one I think it is then you are not far from the First Gondola station which is good, the area is great but I prefer Wengen as it doesn't have the road through it

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I have just returned on Saturday from Grindelwald staying at the Spinne. Its a nice hotel and can certainly recommend it. Food is good, nice rooms (we had a huge deep bath which was a bonus) and the attached Expresso bar is probably the main apres ski bar in the town and there is a nightclub also attached to the hotel. Five minute walk to the First gondola and the ski bus stops outside the hotel is you are going to Kl Scheidegg or Mannlichen. 45 mins from getting on the ski bus at 9am to top of Mannlichen gondola (museum piece of a 4 cabin job), with no queue for lift.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Spinne is a nice slightly older hotel on the main street of Grindelwald, about 7 mins walk to First Gondola station and the ski buses stop just outside,to get to the Train Station for the train to Kleine Scheidegg or to Makklicken.
The hotel went a bit downhill a few years ago, but is under new management for the last 2 years or so and is now well run and friendly. They have an excellent pizza menu in the front restaurant and we eat there 2 nights during our week in Grindelwald in January.
Only downside in Grindelwald is the Grindelwald Ski School, this used to be excellent, but this year they had hardly any clients, and we had 4 good intermediates in a group of 6 with 2 dutch snow-ploughers. I wouldnt use them again. Next visit we are going to use the ski school at Klleine Scheidegg which is highly recommended by 2 of our friends who used them in January.
Enjoy Grindelwald, its really a nice resort
