Eiger Trail
Grindelwald (Eigergletscher)–Grindelwald (Alpiglen)
The Eiger North Wall is close enough to touch from the Eiger Trail and the various world-famous climbing routes to the notorious Eiger summit are easy to spot.
The Eiger North Wall still rates as the yardstick of skill for the climbing elite and attracts expert alpinists from each and every continent. Now, at last, anyone who is a reasonably proficient mountain hiker can venture to the foot of the notorious wall.
The trail leads across steep Alpine pastures and scree at the foot of the imposing Eiger North Wall, past a wonderful waterfall and down to the restaurant and railway station at Alpiglen. The views up the impressive Eiger Wall, over to Kleine Scheidegg and the Lauberhorn and down to the green Grindelwald Valley are beyond equal and totally awe-inspiring.
