Overview

View from Murren

The slope of this route is the second after the route Grindelwald-Grund, 1200 meters and it's a good hike as well but if you don't want to walk 3h 45 min to the summit it's possible to take the train from Wengen (1274m) to the area of restaurants of Wengeralp at 1873m or even to Kleine Scheidegg (2061m).
