General works

During the construction period, construction equipment and materials are regularly delivered to the former staff car park behind the Intersport building, both for the construction of the Grund terminal and the construction site on the Eiger glacier. For temporary storage of building materials, a wooden shelter and a bulk material hall made of concrete elements are currently being constructed.

The drilling of the piles and the sheet pile work will cause some noise pollution. The work will take place within the defined time window.

Jungfrau Railways, the Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola lift and the municipality of Grindelwald thank everyone concerned for their understanding with the upcoming construction works.
