The view stretches from the Schilthorn over the peaks along Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to the Grosse Scheidegg. On a path marked as a mountain hiking trail, later an alpine path, you descend to Kleine Scheidegg. Here you can enjoy the view for the last time of Grindelwald, the Faulhorn, Schwarzhorn, or the Grosse Scheidegg. Travelers heading to Jungfraujoch must change from the Wengernalpbahn to the Jungfraubahn at Kleine Scheidegg. Accordingly, the place is busy here. The railway line, opened in 1912, has become the engine of tourism, as the Jungfrau Region label shows. The route is now marked as a hiking trail and as Via Alpina 1 by Wanderland Switzerland. Diverging to the left, you continue descending past alpine pastures to the Wengernalp and then to a viewpoint with benches. From here, the village of Wengen and in the background the Gemmenalphorn and the Seefeld karst area can be seen. A panel explains the World Cup Lauberhorn ski downhill race. The view of the section with the well-known parts Hundschopf, Kernen-S, or Wasserstation is impressive. The hike continues on a service road above or then through the Baan forest. Leaving the forest at Allmend, the view of Wengen opens again. We recommend occasionally stopping and looking at the Jungfrau. Eiger and Mönch are not visible; they hide behind the Lauberhorn. Soon, the hike's destination, Wengen station, is reached." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/622284057/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.interlaken.swiss/en/ > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share Hiking in the area of the Lauberhorn ski race ============================================= - 9.00 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: medium - Great panorama - Hiking Trail - 2:35 h - 9.00 km - 1,080 m - 1,276 m - 2,328 m - 1,052 m - - Start: Eigergletscher - Destination: Wengen **Varied hike: Sometimes in the spotlight of tourism, then to a key point of the World Cup Lauberhorn ski downhill race, before the hike ends away from the hustle and bustle.
