Männlichen To Kleine Scheidegg Off The Beaten Path
I have once already covered a hiking trail between Männlichen and Kleine Scheidegg - the very scenic and well-known Panorama Trail. However, this time, I have something more special in store - a trail that is a bit more challenging and technical with plenty of scenery to enjoy, but, very possibly, you won't see another soul in sight for most of the way. If this sounds like your cup of tea, this hike will be for you!

Eiger Trail (Kleine Scheidegg - Alpiglen)
The Eiger Trail above Grindelwald is as iconic as the Eiger North Face looming high above it. This path is a must-do for every mountaineering or hiking fanatic as it's the classic route for access to the many climbing routes on the notorious sheer rock face. This trail runs mostly downhill, will offer incredible and awe-inspiring views, and is suitable for most hikers.
