Bachalpsee
The Bernese giants doubled in still water, at the end of an hour of easy path.

Grindelwald First and the First Cliff Walk
A gangway pinned to a cliff with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau lined up across the valley.

Eiger Trail
The Eiger north face from directly underneath it, for the length of an afternoon.
-
Gletscherschlucht
The glacier's own cut, walked from inside it, with the ice loss marked on the rock.

Jungfraujoch
Europe's highest railway station, delivered by tunnel through the Eiger onto the edge of the Aletsch glacier.

Pfingstegg
The cheapest and quickest way onto the wall opposite the Eiger, with the glacier walks starting at the door.

Eiger
The mountain the village lives under, 3,967 metres, whose north face is two and a half kilometres of rock that took until 1938 to climb and killed enough climbers first to earn its German nickname. It is visible from the whole valley floor.
