The hike starts at Eigergletscher Station and ends 2 to 3 hours later at Alpiglen Station (or the other way round). The trail leads directly underneath the iconic north face of Eiger. A great experience. I can highly recommend this hike!

"The Jungfrau railway (German: Jungfraubahn, JB) is a metre gauge (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in gauge) rack railway which runs 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from Kleine Scheidegg to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), between the Bernese Oberland and Valais in Switzerland. The railway runs almost entirely within the Jungfrau Tunnel, built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and containing two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside. The initial open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland. The line is electrified at 3-phase 1,125 volts 50 Hertz, and is one of four lines in the world using three-phase electric power.
At Kleine Scheidegg the JB connects with the Wengernalpbahn (WAB), which has two routes down the mountain, running respectively to the villages of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. From both villages, branches of the Berner Oberland Bahn (BOB) connect to the Swiss Federal Railways at Interlaken.
The line is owned by the Jungfraubahn Holding AG, a holding company that also owns the Wengernalpbahn and Lauterbrunnen–Mürren mountain railway railways. Through that holding company it is part of the Allianz - Jungfrau Top of Europe marketing alliance, which also includes the separately owned Berner Oberland Bahn and Schynige Platte railways.

[DE] Triebwagen BDhe 4/4 106 der Wengernalpbahn fährt mit dem beladenen Doppelkipper Fku 807 auf die Salzegg - zum temporären Umladeplatz für die V-Bahn Baustelle auf dem Eigergletscher. Noch immer führt der Seilbahn- & Terminalbau zu einem umfangreichen Güterverkehr auf der WAB. Hinter dem Motorwagen sieht man die die Seile des "EigerExpress", welcher das Einsatzende dieses Triebwagens absehbar machen. Aufgenommen wurde er beim Passieren des Langenegggrabens nach dem Bahnhof Alpiglen.
[EN] The Wengernalpbahn railcar BDhe 4/4 106 is driving with a double-tipper towards the temporary reloading point at Salzegg, which is installed for the V-Bahn constructions works at Eigergletscher. The construction of terminal, train station and cable car still results lot of freight transports on the WAB line. Behind the carriage, the ropes of the new "EigerExpress" can be seen.
The train has just left the station Alpiglen.
As we left the train at the Eigergletscher stop to start our hike along the Eiger Trail in Switzwerland, we were some 2,300m up. The Eiger itself was 100% cloud covered but occasionally came into view. Its hard to describe the feeling of how dominating and huge the mountain is and how small we seemed as it rose another 1700m above us. The last thing I expcted to see in such an enviroment were several birds - Alpine Choughs - flying speedily around us. A bit of photographer's luck and I managed to get one in shot along with the famous and treacherous North Face.

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."

"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."

The Kleine Scheidegg the Mönch Mountain (4, 107 m )and the Glacier of the Eiger. (Eigergletscher ). at autumn , Kanton Bern, Switzerland. 1493
The empty Bench In front of The mighty Eiger , the Wetterhorn & Grindelwald. A view from the Kleine Scheidegg. No. 1455.
Thank You my dear Mother !
"The Kleine Scheidegg is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m (6,762 ft), situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The name means "minor watershed", even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. Possibly this is because Kleine Scheidegg is a watershed between the two arms of the Lütschine river, while Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschine from the Reichenbach stream.
The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen, passing through Wengen between the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans and Montreux. The Jungfrau Marathon, a mountain race that takes place every year in early September, ends at Kleine Scheidegg.
The Kleine Scheidegg railway station is sited at the summit of the pass. Besides being an intermediate stop on the Wengernalp railway, the station is also the lower terminus of the Jungfrau railway, which climbs steeply through tunnels inside the Eiger and Mönch mountains up to its terminal at the Jungfraujoch, the highest point reachable by rail in Europe. Both railways operate year-round, and any passengers travelling to the Jungfraujoch must change trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The pass is linked to the summit of the Lauberhorn and to Arvengarten, on the approach to the pass from Grindelwald, by chairlifts.
There are also several restaurants and hotels at the summit of the pass, including the historic Hotel Bellevue des Alpes that dates back to 1840.
Die Kleine Scheidegg ist die Passhöhe (2'061 m ü. M.) zwischen Eiger (3'970 m ü. M.) und Lauberhorn (2'472 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland in der Schweiz, die Grindelwald mit Lauterbrunnen verbindet. Auf der Kleinen Scheidegg befinden sich Hotels, Restaurants, Skilifte sowie der Bahnhof der beiden Zahnradbahnen Wengernalpbahn und Jungfraubahn.
Die Wengernalpbahn führt von Lauterbrunnen und Wengen über die Kleine Scheidegg nach Grindelwald, die Jungfraubahn fährt durch Eiger und Mönch hinauf zum Jungfraujoch. Erstere wurde im Jahr 1893 fertiggestellt. Im Sommer 1896 wurde mit dem Bau der Jungfraubahn begonnen. Zwei Jahre später konnte der Abschnitt bis zum Bahnhof Eigergletscher in Betrieb genommen werden. Erst 1912 konnte die ganze, neun Kilometer lange Strecke bis zum Jungfraujoch in Betrieb genommen werden. Der Tourismus hatte sich aber schon vor dem Bau der Bahnen entwickelt: Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts besuchten Reisende auf Grand Tour das Berner Oberland und wanderten über die Kleine Scheidegg. Ein erstes Hotel für die vorbeikommenden Touristen wurde 1840 erbaut. Mitte der 1920er Jahre waren die Hotels erstmals auch den Winter über geöffnet. 1941 wurde der Skilift aufs Lauberhorn erbaut.[1][2]
Die Kleine Scheidegg ist bekannt für das eindrückliche Panorama mit dem Dreigestirn Eiger, Mönch (4'107 m ü. M.) und Jungfrau (4'158 m ü. M.) und zahlreichen Gletschern. Zudem bietet sich hier eine gute Einsicht in die Eiger-Nordwand, um Bergsteiger in der Wand mit dem Fernglas zu verfolgen.
Im Winter ist die Kleine Scheidegg – zusammen mit dem Männlichen – Mittelpunkt eines ausgedehnten Skigebiets rund um Grindelwald und Wengen. Am oberhalb der Scheidegg gelegenen Lauberhorn befindet sich der Start des bekannten Lauberhornrennens.
Seit 1993 ist die Kleine Scheidegg jedes Jahr im September Ziel des Jungfrau-Marathons, der in Interlaken startet.
Il Kleine Scheidegg (2.061 m s.l.m.) è un valico alpino dello svizzero Canton Berna che collega le località di Lauterbrunnen e Grindelwald.
La Kleine Scheidegg (la petite Scheidegg) est un col ferroviaire suisse entre l'Eiger et le Lauberhorn dans l'Oberland bernois à 2 061 m d'altitude. Il est situé à la frontière des communes de Lauterbrunnen (Wengen) et de Grindelwald."

The Jungfrau railway
(German: Jungfraubahn)
which runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg and from there to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m),
between the Bernese Oberland and Valais.
The railway runs almost entirely within a tunnel built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and contains two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside.
The open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland
@Wikipedia
The names of mountaineers have been sculpted into the stones alongside the reservoir. They are all climbers who have a part in the history of the climbs of the North Face of the Eiger mountain. The history of climbing on the North Face is told in Haller's iconic book, 'The White Spider'.
Fallbodensee is man made, and holds water that is used for making artificial snow for the surrounding slopes during the early part of the ski-season.

"The Jungfrau railway (German: Jungfraubahn, JB) is a metre gauge (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in gauge) rack railway which runs 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from Kleine Scheidegg to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), between the Bernese Oberland and Valais in Switzerland. The railway runs almost entirely within the Jungfrau Tunnel, built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and containing two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside. The initial open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland. The line is electrified at 3-phase 1,125 volts 50 Hertz, and is one of four lines in the world using three-phase electric power.
At Kleine Scheidegg the JB connects with the Wengernalpbahn (WAB), which has two routes down the mountain, running respectively to the villages of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. From both villages, branches of the Berner Oberland Bahn (BOB) connect to the Swiss Federal Railways at Interlaken.
The line is owned by the Jungfraubahn Holding AG, a holding company that also owns the Wengernalpbahn and Lauterbrunnen–Mürren mountain railway railways. Through that holding company it is part of the Allianz - Jungfrau Top of Europe marketing alliance, which also includes the separately owned Berner Oberland Bahn and Schynige Platte railways.
Die Jungfraubahn (JB) ist eine elektrische Zahnradbahn im Berner Oberland in der Schweiz. Sie führt von der Kleinen Scheidegg durch Eiger und Mönch bis auf das Jungfraujoch mit der höchsten Eisenbahnstation Europas (Tunnelstation, 3454 m) und überwindet auf einer Länge von 9,34 Kilometern fast 1400 Höhenmeter. Etwas mehr als sieben Kilometer der Strecke liegen im Tunnel. Sie feierte 2012 ihren 100. Geburtstag (Jungfernfahrt im August 1912).
Le Chemin de fer de la Jungfrau (allemand : Jungfraubahn) est une ligne de chemin de fer suisse reliant la gare de Kleine Scheidegg au Jungfraujoch, il traverse en tunnel l'Eiger et le Mönch pour s'arrêter au Jungfraujoch, un col entre le Mönch et la Jungfrau. Située à 3 454 mètres d'altitude, la station de chemin de fer du Jungfraujoch est la plus haute d'Europe ."

Hiking the Eiger Trail,a view to First Grindelwald The Grosse Scheidegg and the Wetterhorn. no. 7902.
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.

Thank You my dear Mother.
"The Kleine Scheidegg is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m (6,762 ft), situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The name means "minor watershed", even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. Possibly this is because Kleine Scheidegg is a watershed between the two arms of the Lütschine river, while Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschine from the Reichenbach stream.[1][citation needed]
The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen, passing through Wengen between the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans and Montreux. The Jungfrau Marathon, a mountain race that takes place every year in early September, ends at Kleine Scheidegg.
The Kleine Scheidegg railway station is sited at the summit of the pass. Besides being an intermediate stop on the Wengernalp railway, the station is also the lower terminus of the Jungfrau railway, which climbs steeply through tunnels inside the Eiger and Mönch mountains up to its terminal at the Jungfraujoch, the highest point reachable by rail in Europe. Both railways operate year-round, and any passengers travelling to the Jungfraujoch must change trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The pass is linked to the summit of the Lauberhorn and to Arvengarten, on the approach to the pass from Grindelwald, by chairlifts.
There are also several restaurants and hotels at the summit of the pass, including the historic Hotel Bellevue des Alpes that dates back to 1840.
Die Kleine Scheidegg ist die Passhöhe (2'061 m ü. M.) zwischen Eiger (3'970 m ü. M.) und Lauberhorn (2'472 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland in der Schweiz, die Grindelwald mit Lauterbrunnen verbindet. Auf der Kleinen Scheidegg befinden sich Hotels, Restaurants, Skilifte sowie der Bahnhof der beiden Zahnradbahnen Wengernalpbahn und Jungfraubahn.
Die Wengernalpbahn führt von Lauterbrunnen und Wengen über die Kleine Scheidegg nach Grindelwald, die Jungfraubahn fährt durch Eiger und Mönch hinauf zum Jungfraujoch. Erstere wurde im Jahr 1893 fertiggestellt. Im Sommer 1896 wurde mit dem Bau der Jungfraubahn begonnen. Zwei Jahre später konnte der Abschnitt bis zum Bahnhof Eigergletscher in Betrieb genommen werden. Erst 1912 konnte die ganze, neun Kilometer lange Strecke bis zum Jungfraujoch in Betrieb genommen werden. Der Tourismus hatte sich aber schon vor dem Bau der Bahnen entwickelt: Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts besuchten Reisende auf Grand Tour das Berner Oberland und wanderten über die Kleine Scheidegg. Ein erstes Hotel für die vorbeikommenden Touristen wurde 1840 erbaut. Mitte der 1920er Jahre waren die Hotels erstmals auch den Winter über geöffnet. 1941 wurde der Skilift aufs Lauberhorn erbaut.[1][2]
Die Kleine Scheidegg ist bekannt für das eindrückliche Panorama mit dem Dreigestirn Eiger, Mönch (4'107 m ü. M.) und Jungfrau (4'158 m ü. M.) und zahlreichen Gletschern. Zudem bietet sich hier eine gute Einsicht in die Eiger-Nordwand, um Bergsteiger in der Wand mit dem Fernglas zu verfolgen.
Im Winter ist die Kleine Scheidegg – zusammen mit dem Männlichen – Mittelpunkt eines ausgedehnten Skigebiets rund um Grindelwald und Wengen. Am oberhalb der Scheidegg gelegenen Lauberhorn befindet sich der Start des bekannten Lauberhornrennens.
Seit 1993 ist die Kleine Scheidegg jedes Jahr im September Ziel des Jungfrau-Marathons, der in Interlaken startet.

Schweiz / Berner Oberland - Kleine Scheidegg

The Kleine Scheidegg (English: Little Scheidegg) is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m (6,762 ft), situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The name means "minor watershed", as it only divides the two arms of the Lütschine river, both converging at Zweilütschinen, while the nearby Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschine from the Rychenbach stream.
The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp Railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen, passing through Wengen between the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans and Montreux. The Jungfrau Marathon, a mountain race that takes place every year in early September, ends at Kleine Scheidegg.
The Kleine Scheidegg railway station is sited at the summit of the pass. Besides being an intermediate stop on the Wengernalp Railway, the station is also the lower terminus of the Jungfrau Railway, which climbs steeply through tunnels inside the Eiger and Mönch mountains up to its terminal at the Jungfraujoch, the highest point reachable by rail in Europe. Both railways operate year-round, and any passengers travelling to the Jungfraujoch must change trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The pass is linked to the summit of the Lauberhorn and to Arvengarten, on the approach to the pass from Grindelwald, by chairlifts.
There are also several restaurants and hotels at the summit of the pass, including the historic Hotel Bellevue des Alpes that dates back to 1840.
History
Prior to the coming of the railways and the introduction of tourism to the area, the twin passes of Kleine Scheidegg and Grosse Scheidegg provided access for local livestock and dairy farmers to the important export route to Italy over the Grimsel Pass. With the coming of tourism and the opening of the first mountain hotels in the 1830s, the transit of the Kleine Scheidegg became busier, and more important than the Grosse Scheidegg.
In 1840, Christian Seiler built the inn Zur Gemse on the summit of the pass. Guests and supplies reached the inn by mule train over the pass tracks, and the inn grew into the internationally famous Hotel Bellevue. The Wengernalp co-operative opened the competing Hotel des Alps alongside the Hotel Bellevue, but sold out to the Seiler family, thus creating the merged Hotel Bellevue des Alps.
In order to satisfy tourist demand, construction of the Wengernalp Railway across the pass commenced in 1891, and the line opened in 1893, as a steam hauled summer only service. The line was electrified in 1909/10, and year-round operation started in 1925 (to Lauterbrunnen) and 1960 (to Grindelwald). Construction of the Jungfrau Railway started in 1896, and it opened in stages from 1898 to 1912. Since the 1930s, Kleine Scheidegg has been the base of expeditions on the north face of the Eiger.
Geography
Kleine Scheidegg is among the most celebrated mountain passes in the Swiss Alps because of its position just north of the point where the Bernese Alps makes a salient angle, whose apex is the Eiger. From there, a series of high peaks rise in line towards the northeast, on the left side of the trail that follows a direct route from Meiringen, southwest across the Grosse Scheidegg, to Kleine Scheidegg. On the south side of the apex at the Eiger, the still higher summits of the Mönch, Jungfrau, Gletscherhorn, and Mittaghorn follow in succession from north to south.
Hidden by the Eiger from the vantage point of Grindelwald, the Mönch and Jungfrau break upon the traveller at Kleine Scheidegg in full grandeur, rising from the narrow gorge of the Trümmletental. Three comparatively large glaciers, with several minor accumulations of ice, are found in the hollows and on the shelving ledges of the three peaks that rise above the Trümmletental. The Eiger Glacier lies in the recess between the Eiger and the Mönch. This is separated by a huge projecting buttress of the latter mountain from the Guggi Glacier. Farther on is the Giessen Glacier, formed, at a higher level than the two last, on a shelf of the northwest side of the Jungfrau.
Politically, the pass at Kleine Scheidegg marks the boundary between the municipalities of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald, both of which are within the canton of Bern.
In popular culture
The film Kleine Scheidegg (1937) was set on the eponymous pass, directed by Richard Schweizer, and starring Susanne Baader, Leopold Biberti and Emil Hegetschweiler.
In the summer of 1974, Clint Eastwood and his cast and crew stayed at the Hotel Bellevue des Alpes at Kleine Scheidegg while filming The Eiger Sanction (1975). Several scenes were filmed in and around the hotel.
The 2008 film North Face, about Toni Kurz and Andreas Hinterstoisser's 1936 attempt to climb the Eiger north face, was shot to a great extent at the Hotel Bellevue des Alpes. Footage of the mountain's profile was also shot from Kleine Scheidegg's vantage point, though the climbing scenes were created mostly using computer generated imagery and green screen technology.
The hiking track in the area is the basis for the fictional Eiger Nordwand tracks in the racing video games Gran Turismo HD Concept, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Gran Turismo 5, and Gran Turismo 6.

The Fallbodensee is located at an altitude of around 2100 metres above sea level, on the Fallboden hill, where the ski lifts between the Kleine Scheidegg and Eigergletscher stations are located. It is also a "mirror lake". The reflection of the Eiger and Mönch in the mountain lake is simply amazing, depending on the weather.
