The circular trail is almost 500 metres long and always offers you the perfect view of the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch. Information boards along the route provide interesting facts about the largest ice stream in the Alps and the surrounding mountains. The circular trail starts directly at the Eggishorn mountain station.

Hiking

After reaching the summit cross, you can continue climbing a bit over the rocks and stones, always in the direction of the glacier. After about 50 to 70 meters you are at the absolute abyss, the Aletsch at your feet! Simply gigantic!
