Eiger Trail — North Face Experience
About This Experience
Walk beneath the legendary Eiger North Face on this famous trail that has captured the imagination of climbers and hikers for decades. Starting at Eigergletscher station, this scenic route takes you along the base of the imposing 1,800-meter vertical wall, with spectacular views down to Grindelwald. Watch for climbers attempting the legendary North Face route as you hike past waterfalls, rocky ravines, and alpine meadows. This is Swiss mountaineering history under your feet.
Looking for fewer crowds? Our North Face Trail with Waterfall in Mürren offers equally dramatic views with a fraction of the tourists.
