Day 1: Meeting point Grindelwald - Jungfraujoch Railway Terminal

We meet in the early morning in Grindelwald at the Jungfrau Railway terminal and take the train to the Eismeer station. From there, we hike for approximately 3 hours to the Mittelegi Hut. Due to glacial retreat, the trail includes some initial climbing sections to get us used to the terrain.

Day 2: Eiger via the Mittelegi Ridge
The next morning, we set off early from the hut. By headlamp, we begin our ascent towards the summit. We climb along the fantastic rocky ridge, enjoying the changing light of the rising sun and the first warming rays of sunshine on the East Ridge. After several hours of focused and exposed climbing, we reach the summit, where we are rewarded with a breathtaking view. But the tour is far from over. The descent also demands our full attention and includes some technically challenging sections before we reach the Mönchshütte via the Eigerjoch and soon after, the mountain station at the Jungfraujoch. We should expect the entire descent to take approximately 10 hours (depending on conditions and our progress). Afterwards, we'll take the cogwheel train back down to Grindelwald.

Tip:
Those wishing to climb the entire Mittelegigrat ridge, the so-called "Mittelegi Integral," will need to be in better physical condition and possess significantly higher climbing skills. The tour takes a total of 3 days, including two long days of climbing on the ridge and several sections of grade V difficulty, which you'll need to climb in your mountaineering boots. If you feel up to this challenge, we'd be happy to send you a corresponding offer. Please simply mention this in your inquiry.
