View of Rotstock with the Eiger in the background

Highlight • Viewpoint

As soon as you arrive at the Eigergletscher train station, the landscape overwhelms you. As the name of the stop suggests, you are at the foot of the Eiger Glacier. At this point, you can mainly see the Rotstock, although the Eiger is visible behind it.

Fallbodensee

Highlight • Lake

There is an information pavilion about the north face of the Eiger at Lake Fallbodensee. You receive information about the routes to the summit and a historical review of the first ascent. There are also benches in the water where you can cool your feet and relax after your hike. You also have a great all-round view.

View of the Jungfrau

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Mendelssohn Trail you have a breathtaking view of the Jungfrau, the third highest mountain in the Bernese Alps. There's also an information panel about the Jungfrau here. The 4,158-meter-high summit is truly impressive.
