North Face Trail with Waterfall
About This Experience
Experience the iconic North Face Trail (Nordwandweg) with breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. This scenic loop takes you through wildflower meadows, past grazing cows with their bells, and includes a refreshing stop at the magical Sprutz Waterfall where you can walk right under the cascading water. Perfect for families and casual hikers wanting classic Swiss alpine scenery.
Why This Is Our Signature Hike
After years of guiding in the Jungfrau Region, this is the trail we keep coming back to. The Nordwandweg gives you front-row views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, stunning waterfalls, and wildflower meadows that are hard to find on your own. It's simply the best hike in the region.
Laura's guided route includes the Sprutz waterfall detour, so distance and climb differ from the standard Northface Trail.
