Winter hiking

The winter hike from First to Bort starts at the mountain station. It first leads in the direction of Lake Bachalpsee - a detour to the lake is worthwhile - then it goes past snow-covered huts and forests down to the Waldspitz mountain inn and on to Bort.

The Jungfrau Region is well equipped with routes for passionate winter hikers. One of the most beautiful is undoubtedly the winter hiking trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. From Berghaus Männlichen, the snow-covered trail leads past the foot of the Tschuggen. The Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are always there.

The winter hike from First is very rewarding: firstly because of the panorama, and secondly because the longest toboggan run in the world begins on the Faulhorn. Once you've pulled your sled up the mountain you can take it easy on the way back via the Bussalp to Grindelwald: There is nothing else to do except steer and brake for 15 kilometres.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the slopes, the well-marked snowshoe trail leads from the Holenstein middle station through white, enchanted landscapes to the Brandegg mountain restaurant. If you are here on snowshoes, you can immerse yourself in the sight of the mythical Eiger North Face time and again on the trail, which is a good five kilometres long.

The panoramic view on Männlichen has something extra to offer. The Royal Walk theme trail and its crown-shaped summit platform give the scenery a definitive royal touch. Nothing is easier than following this royal path from station to station to the crown in half an hour.

Snow-covered forests and Alps can be best experienced on the well-signposted snowshoe trail from Mürren to Allmiboden and back. The breathtaking view of eight north faces of the Bernese Alps and the world-famous triumvirate makes this tour a grandiose experience.
