Grindelwald

Grindelwald, located 15 kilometers north of Launceston in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, is a unique Swiss-themed village established in the 1980s. Developed by Dutch immigrant Roelf Vos, the village features Swiss-style architecture, including wide eaves, flower boxes, window shutters, and balconies. The settlement is surrounded by serene lakes and offers picturesque views of the valley. At the heart of Grindelwald is the 40-hectare Tamar Valley Resort, which opened in 1989 and shares the Swiss architectural style. The resort offers a range of activities, including an 18-hole mini-golf course, a ten-hole public golf course, paddle boat hire, canoeing on the lake, and the unique SPLASH GOLF. Visitors can also enjoy shopping at the Swiss Shopping Arcade, which includes a gift store, women's clothing and accessories store, bakery café, lolly shop, and ice creamery. For dining, the lakeside Alpenrose Bistro offers meals and snacks. Grindelwald is a charming destination that transports visitors to a Swiss village setting while offering a variety of activities and amenities.
