The Kleine Scheidegg is the mountain pass that runs between the Eiger and the Lauberhorn. From Interlaken Ost, you can reach the Kleine Scheidegg in an hour and 15 minutes via Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. From an altitude of 2061 m above sea level, the views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are unrivalled.

The Kleine Scheidegg railway station is sited at the summit of the pass. Besides being an intermediate stop on the Wengernalp Railway, the station is also the lower terminus of the Jungfrau Railway, which climbs steeply through tunnels inside the Eiger and Mönch mountains up to its terminal at the Jungfraujoch, the highest point reachable by rail in Europe. Both railways operate year-round, and any passengers travelling to the Jungfraujoch must change trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The pass is linked to the summit of the Lauberhorn and to Arvengarten, on the approach to the pass from Grindelwald, by chairlifts.

A visit to the Jungfrau region is always worthwhile. On the way to the Kleine Scheidegg you pass through Alpine villages, meadows and forests as you approach the mighty glaciers of the Bernese Oberland.

 The Kleine Scheidegg is known for its stunning views of the Three Peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as its mighty glaciers. The Kleine Scheidegg is also a stopover on the way to the world-renowned Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe.

The Kleine Scheidegg promises breathtakingly panoramic hikes around the north face of the Eiger. If you would like to experience the Eiger’s world-famous north face without the need for rope and tackle, the Eiger Trail is perfect. This beautifully planned mountain trail promises superb views of the Lauberhorn, while the Kleine Scheidegg and Grindelwald valley lead straight along the foot of the towering north face of the Eiger. Not everyone can conquer the north face, but everyone is captivated by it.
