Introduction

This short hike leads you up to a hill, covered with grasslands and a small conifer forest. You will have a unique view of the western part of the Jungrau region. Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, Tsingelhorn, Schilthorn, Grütschalp, Isenfluh, Interlaken, Schynige Platte, Harder Kulm, Wengen and Männlichen can all be seen from here. The grasslands are also used as a meadow, so you may encounter some cattle. Although this hike is very short, good footgear is recommended.

Transportation to Wengernalp

Wengernalp can only be reached by train from Kleine Scheidegg/Grindelwald and from Wengen/Lauterbrunnen. Motorists can park their car in Grindelwald Grund or Lauterbrunnen, and continue by train from there.

Route description

From the Wengernalp railway station, walk in the direction of Allmend/Lauterbrunnen. About 50 m (160 ft) after the railway station, turn left under the railway to Wickibort/Wengen, then immediately turn right.

Take the same route back to the railway station.
