Off-season · Spring Skiing Begins
Long sunny days, soft afternoon snow and a festival mood. The best-value ski weeks of the whole season, before the spring rush.
Yes, March is an underrated sweet spot. You still get good skiing up high, but with longer, sunnier days, softer afternoon snow, a festival mood and noticeably lower prices and crowds than February. The valley floor begins to wake up while the slopes stay open.
The linked Kleine Scheidegg and Männlichen pistes stay open well into spring, often including the famous Lauberhorn run itself. March brings long sunny days, softer afternoon snow and the best value ski weeks of the season, with far fewer people than February.
Official source →One of the longest toboggan runs in Europe: a 2.5-hour hike up past frozen Bachalpsee, then ~11 km and 1,350 m of descent. A genuine bucket-list day.
Route details →Grindelwald's own invention, a wooden snow-bike found nowhere else on earth. Rent one and wobble down the village runs.
If a late storm shuts the upper lifts, Orbit, the all-weather bouldering and climbing centre founded by Nicole Steck, is open year-round, five minutes from Interlaken.

Yes, the higher pistes around Kleine Scheidegg hold good snow well into spring, and March often brings the best-value ski weeks of the season.
For a mix of late-season skiing, sunshine and fewer crowds, March is one of the best months, it bridges winter sports and the first signs of spring.
Quieter than the February half-term peak and December holidays. Crowds are moderate and prices ease, especially midweek and later in the month.
On the valley floor, steps from the trailheads and the village, the practical, best-value base whatever the season (and right by the winter ski shuttle).
