General presentation
Grindelwald, Wengen et Kleine Scheidegg
Alpine villages at the foot of the Eiger, panoramic paths, altitude trains and direct access to the emblematic landscapes of the Jungfrau.
Grindelwald First, Kleine Scheidegg and Wengen give the most telling landmarks of Grindelwald, Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, natural spaces and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: crucial weather and expensive accommodation. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Eiger
The northern face of the Eiger is placed above Grindelwald, a wall of rock and ice with a reputation that far exceeds mountaineering. From the trains, trails or terraces of Wengen, the mountain changes in appearance according to the clouds, with moments when the wall disappears almost entirely.
Place
Kleine Scheidegg
Kleine Scheidegg is a natural node between valley and massif, very suitable to understand the alpine dynamics of a journey in several times. The views are precious, but the real plus comes from the intermediate aisles and the stopping points that structure the climb.
Place
Wengen
Wengen is an alpine village without cars, placed on a balcony above the Lauterbrunnen valley. Chalets, ancient hotels and panoramic paths look towards the Jungfrau and the surrounding walls; the atmosphere changes between sports winter, hiking summer and quiet evenings after the last train.
Place
Männlichen
Männlichen attracts with its panoramas and progressive paths. The place is especially tasty by varying the directions of walking: you start with the ridge, then you go down to more sheltered areas that reveal the real geography.
