Jungfraujoch - Top of EuropeThe Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe is one of the highlights of every trip to Switzerland. Europe's highest station is 3454 metres above sea level. Visitors can admire a high alpine wonderland of ice, snow and rock from observation platforms, on the Aletsch Glacier or in the Ice Palace. On nice days the view extends from the Vosges to the Black Forest.The train ride to the Jungfraujoch, which leads through the Eiger and the Mönch, is also an experience. Visitors can enjoy the wonderful view from the Eismeer and Eigerwand stops. |

Grindelwald First - Wanderparadies im SommerFirst - Bachalpsee - First
The hike to Lake Bachalpsee offers everything a hiker's heart desires: A magnificently-landscaped path leads through lush flowering alpine meadows. On the opposite side of the valley, ice-capped four-thousand metre mountains tower in the air. At the start of the hike, a short, but considerable climb must be tackled. The wide, well-maintained hiking trail then takes you from the gondola summit station up to the Gummihütte. The sharp, jagged peaks of the Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn and Finsteraarhorn on the opposite side of the valley stand in stark contrast to the pretty flowering meadows lining the trail. Lake Bachalpsee - the blue gem After a short period of hiking, a more or less flat path leads from the Gummihütte to Lake Bachalp. The majestic Schreckhorn is reflected in the blue jewel of the Bernese Alps during windless conditions. Expansive meadows and numerous benches invite you to take a long break and enjoy the stunning panorama.

Mountain Panorama Trail: Grosse Scheidegg - First
This short hike gives even inexperienced hikers the opportunity to go to lofty heights and enjoy the breathtaking view of mountain scenery. The view of the Wetterhorn, the two Grindelwald glaciers, Mättenberg, Schreckhorn, the Eiger North Face and Kleine Scheidegg is lovely. What a panorama view The trail begins a bit behind the summit station, approx. 100 metres towards Lake Bachalpsee. The path turns to the right at the "Oberjoch Express" (map point B). After about 700 metres, you leave the little Alpine road by taking a sharp right-hand turn (map point C). Shortly thereafter, take the right side of the fork (straight ahead) and follow the mountain trail past Chalberboden (map point D) and Schafläger (map point E), slightly up and down across a number of beautiful streams until you reach the wider path.

Jungfrau Eiger WalkJungfrau Eiger Walk: Eigergletscher - Kleine Scheidegg
At the Eigergletscher railway station, you walk a few steps back towards Kleine Scheidegg and then leave the railway area down a stairway. You’ll immediately be captivated by the high-Alpine surroundings, with stunning views of the rock and ice masses of the Eiger, Mönch & Jungfrau seeming almost close enough to touch. Living museum You now hike steadily downhill on a wide, good path, in front of you the green alp pastures surrounding Kleine Scheidegg, to the left and right the valleys of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. The trail crosses the tracks of the Jungfrau Railway and then leads around wide bends to the old Mittellegi mountain hut, which once stood on the north-east ridge of the Eiger. A look inside gives a fascinating insight into the Spartan conditions in the pioneering days of mountain climbing. The tiny wooden structure contains twelve sleeping berths, a simple stove and a modestly equipped eating corner. The trail then takes a wide arc past the summit station of the Fallboden chairlift to reach Fallboden where you again cross the tracks of the Jungfrau Railway, this time in an underpass. Eiger North Face exhibition The charming «Chilchli» (tiny church), a former Jungfrau Railway transformer station, was so named because it actually resembles a small church. Today the listed building houses an exhibition on ascents of the Eiger North Face. The nearby man-made Fallbodensee (lake) serves as a reservoir to make artificial snow for the surrounding ski pistes in early winter. One part of the lake is only knee deep and can be paddled in; benches in the water offer the chance of a refreshing footbath. The panoramic trail then continues gently downhill on the wide ridge between the Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald valleys to Kleine Scheidegg.

Eigertrail
Hiking time: 2 hours 10 minutes At the Eigergletscher railway station, you walk a few steps back towards Kleine Scheidegg, cross the tracks of the Jungfrau Railway and hike up to the vantage point above the station. This is the beginning of the Eiger Trail, which also makes the Eiger an adventure for hikers as it actually runs along the foot of the famous Eiger North Wall. You can thus get close to the scene of heroic Alpine deeds and dramas without having any climbing experience whatsoever. Close to the action On the hike you enjoy impressive views of Grindelwald’s wide valley basin, bordered to the east by the striking silhouette of the Wetterhorn. But most of all, the Eiger Trail gives you a sensational close-up impression of the (in)famous Eiger North Wall. In the area of Wart, a panel shows several of the most important climbing routes. And with a little luck, patience and keen eyesight, you may even be able to spot one or another roped team in action. The trail leads gradually downhill and the wide scree slopes give way to lush pastures carpeted with Alpine flowers. The last mound of scree is crossed in the Langenegg gully. Over time, hikers have built a large number of small cairns here. At the fork at Pt. 1,725, you keep left and finally reach the railway station at Alpiglen.
