UNESCO Hike Eigergletscher

After meeting in Grindelwald, we take the train to the Grindelwald Terminal, where we transfer to the Eiger Express. With the new 3S cable car, we glide comfortably up to the Eigergletscher. Once at the top, we need to get our bearings – steep rock faces, barren glaciers, and green alpine meadows await us. Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau rise proudly before us. The Eigergletscher train station is an interesting story in itself. Soon we set off and hike past the mountain station of the Eiger Express to the Wart. From here, we have a fantastic view of the Eiger North Face. The hiking guide/mountain guide has many interesting facts about the Eiger North Face and its ascents to share. Can you spot the Eiger window? We continue our path and reach the Obere Salzegg to the Fallbodenseeli – a good place to talk about winter tourism. Our hike takes us past the old Mittellegi Hut and on to the Loucherflue, where we enter the UNESCO World Heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch. We climb back up to the Eigergletscher train station over the large moraine of the Eigergletscher. An impressive landscape shaped by the wild glaciers of these steep north faces.
