Tips

June 14, 2024

An absolutely fantastic trail that I will never forget in its beauty - but also its danger.

I have to give a serious warning at this point - especially for inexperienced mountain hikers, such as myself.

This was my first tour in Grindelwald. I arrived with great anticipation and drove to the Kleine Scheidegg in anticipation of a sunny T2 beginner's tour with the spectacular backdrop of the Eiger north face.

Nothing indicated the difficulties that would await me on this route. Contrary to my expectations, I then struggled across several snow fields on this trail. At the finish at the Alpiglen mountain inn, I then noticed very clearly that this trail was closed. Unfortunately, this was not indicated in any way on the Kleine Scheidegg side. The reason for this closure was avalanches and rockfalls. My wonderful tour could have ended very dramatically.

Therefore, for this and similar trails in the Jungfrau region, always consult the Jungfrau Railways website. All trails are marked there as "open" or "closed".

Towards the end of June, the wonderful mountain spring awakens. I would definitely not recommend this hike any earlier.
