Description
No mercy for the calf. This statement is perfect for the 35 kilometers. The infamous chamois trail on the Männlichen drives some sweat beads into the runners' faces. The impressive deep view into the Lauterbrunnen valley is provided as a free reward.
In the face of the trio Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, the E35 leads over the Kleine Scheidegg to the glacier moraine. From the Eigergletscher station, the trail winds around the foot of the legendary Eiger north face towards Grindelwald. The Eiger limestone rock, the mountain wind, and the glaciers are omnipresent on this section.
