- Destination: Grindelwald/Alpiglen
From the mountain lodge at Männlichen (20 min to the summit), follow the high trail for a few hundred meters towards Kleine Scheidegg. Then the path turns left downhill, crosses the debris field of a former rockfall, and passes through the combat zone of trees at the forest boundary. Up to Bustiglen, many weather-resistant Swiss stone pines can be admired. The view into the Grindelwald valley basin and towards the Wetterhorn or the massive north face of the Eiger fascinates anew each time. Past the huts, you reach the ski slope bridge over the Wärgistalbach at Arvengarten (40 min to Kleine Scheidegg) and descend on the Scheidegg pass trail over Mettla to Alpiglen (1h40 to Grindelwald).
