Eiger Ultra Trail E35

No mercy for the calves here! This 35km trail leads up the notorious 'Gemsenweg' or 'Chamois path' towards Männlichen and is guaranteed to bring a bead or two of sweat to your brow. The impressive view down into the Lauterbrunnen Valley is the reward for your efforts.

Under the ever watchful Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the E35 leads over Kleine Scheidegg to the glacier moraine below Eigergletscher station. The trail then winds its way back around to Grindelwald at the foot of the legendary Eiger North Face. The Eiger limestone, the mountain wind and the glaciers are omnipresent on this section.
