Grosse Scheidegg
Grosse Scheidegg – Starting point for hikes at 1,962 metres
Grosse Scheidegg is a popular starting point for hikes and bike tours in all directions. Located at 1,962 metres above sea level, it offers impressive views of the Wetterhorn, Eiger and Engelhörner.
From Grindelwald, you can reach Grosse Scheidegg by bus in around 40 minutes, and from Meiringen in about 60 minutes. A cosy restaurant with more than 100 seats invites you to stop and relax. In good weather, the panoramic terrace offers beautiful views of the surrounding high-alpine rock faces.
Hikes towards First and the Rosenlaui Gorge are especially popular. Grosse Scheidegg is also highly appreciated by cyclists, not least because the road is largely car-free and leads through spectacular mountain scenery.
Motorised traffic is generally prohibited between Schwarzwaldalp and Grindelwald. During the summer months, buses operate from both Grindelwald and Schwarzwaldalp to Grosse Scheidegg. In winter, the bus only runs from Schwarzwaldalp.
A special highlight takes place every September with the traditional alpine cheese festival.
