"En parcourant le court sentier pédestre entre la station Eigergletscher et la Kleine Scheidegg, découvrez les exploits et les tragédies qui se sont déroulés sur la paroi nord de l'Eiger. Sur 2,5 kilomètres, des stèles de bois vous conduisent vers différentes stations retraçant l’histoire mouvementée de la paroi nord de l'Eiger. C'est ainsi qu'à la petite chapelle de Fallboden se trouve une maquette de l'Eiger, de six mètres de haut, indiquant les 14 routes différentes traversant la paroi nord. Sur la route, nous croisons également la cabane «Mittellegi» datant de 1924. Elle sert maintenant de lieu d'exposition pour les équipements nécessaires à l'alpinisme, les anciens comme les plus modernes. Finalement, près du lac de Fallboden, on trouve tous les noms des alpinistes ayant franchi la paroi nord de l'Eiger, gravés dans la pierre naturelle. L'on y rend également hommage aux 69 alpinistes qui ont péri dans l’escalade de la paroi nord de l'Eiger."
No trail comes closer to the famous Eiger North Face – with the Eiger Trail you are guaranteed two hours of top notch thrills
Description
The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau (the Ogre, Monk and Maiden) – the world famous trio of mountain peaks – is the impressive backdrop to the Jungfrau region and has attracted tourists and mountaineers to the Bernese Oberland since pioneering days. The Jungfrau Railway is no less impressive, while the northern flank of the Eiger, with its vertical drop of more than 1600 metres, has always attracted the world's best climbers.
Those with the courage and the desire to get just that little bit closer to the breathtaking Eiger North Face and tackle a superlative high alpine adventure can take the Jungfrau Railway to the station at Eigergletscher and set out on the Eiger Trail. Shortly after starting on this route, you'll find yourself right in front of the famous rock face itself, and above you to the right you'll notice the metal ladders that climbers to the Eiger-Rotstock Via Ferrata use to gain access. From here on, the trail runs for an hour along the foot of the Eiger North Face, sparkling with a beautiful view over the Wetterhorn and the Grosse Scheidegg.
Difficult sections are secured with ropes. If you have brought your binoculars, you'll be able to see the climbers up against the rock face. The train station sells postcards that show all the routes up this mountain. Towards the end of the tour the trail zigzags boldly down to Alpiglen train station.
"Short, medium-level hike through some of Switzerland's most iconic scenery.
Hike through the glorious high alpine pasture and lakeland scenery of the Grindelwald, pass a wonderful waterfall and come within touching distance of the Eiger's iconic north wall.
Easy public transport to both trailheads from Grindelwald make this stunning walk an easy excursion; hardier walkers have many options to extend."
"Aucun chemin n’approche autant de la célèbre face nord de l’Eiger: cette randonnée vous promet deux heures de frisson au plus haut niveau."
"Näher an die berühmte Eiger Nordwand führt kein Weg: Der Eiger Trail garantiert zwei Stunden Nervenkitzel auf höchstem Niveau."
