D THE EIGER TRAIL
To this day, the Eiger has lost nothing of its fascination through the adventurous and dramatic history of climbing the famous north face.
The Eiger Trail starts at the vantage point above the Eigergletscher station and leads over steep alpine meadows and scree slopes along the foot of the north face, past a thundering waterfall, to the Berghaus and railway station Alpiglen. From Alpiglen, the Wengerenalpbahn takes you comfortably back to the glacier village.
Enjoy the magnificent view of the valley and the notorious Eiger north face during the entire hike.
