View of Rotstock with the Eiger in the background

Highlight • Viewpoint

As soon as you arrive at the Eigergletscher train station, the landscape overwhelms you. As the name of the stop suggests, you are at the foot of the Eiger Glacier. At this point, you can mainly see the Rotstock, although the Eiger is visible behind it.

Eiger North Face

Highlight • Climb

Beautiful view of the north face of the Eiger (3970m high) this north face is from the base over 2.1km high! Almost 90 degrees straight up. Record holder of this climb (in winter!) is Ueli Steck with a time of 02:23 hours. He did this climb all alone and not secured.

During your hike, be sure to get a close look at the imposing North Face of the Eiger, one of the most legendary and challenging rock faces in the Alps, which rises dramatically above Grindelwald. This iconic mountain face spans nearly 1,800 metres of vertical rock.

Today alone without a 20kg child on your back - also has something 😎 The trail is well developed and fixed, you are directly under the wall and have a great view of the historical parts of the wall.

October 5, 2023,🇨🇭 Von Alpiglen über kleine Scheidegg, der Eiger Trail nach Brandegg

Today we took the train from Grindelwald to Alpiglen. Shoulder your backpack here and head up to small Scheidegg. Short break. Now up to the Eiger Glacier (as far as possible) and then along the Eiger north face down the Eiger Trail. I didn't want to miss a detour to the Rotstock entrance.
The Eiger Trail is a beautiful hiking …
