Hiking
If you are travelling on the Wengernalp Railway, be sure to stop at the Alpiglen station in Grindelwald. This practical stop offers you an ideal starting point for impressive hikes in the mountains of the Bernese Oberland. The trains run between Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg, so you can plan your tour flexibly and conveniently.

Hiking
Good place to get closer to the Eiger North Face, or to relax after a short hike and continue on by train if necessary.
