Eiger Trail

A challenging but rewarding hiking trail (approx. 6 km, 2-3 hours) that runs directly beneath the legendary Eiger North Face. Starting from Eigergletscher station (accessible by Eiger Express or Jungfraubahn) and descending to Alpiglen station, hikers get an intimate view of the massive rock and ice wall, learning about its climbing history. Moderate difficulty, requiring good hiking boots. Open primarily during summer and early autumn (June-October), depending on snow conditions.
