Hiking trail : First － Grosse Scheidegg

*** Introduction ***

The route between First ( pronounce as ‘Fierst’ ) and the Grosse Scheidegg is a bit similar to the hike Kleine Scheidegg – Männlichen. Since this hike is less popular, the trail is usually not that crowded. The route leads through gently rolling meadows to the pass between Grindelwald and Meiringen: the Grosse Scheidegg. This route also offers an almost continuous view of the Jungfrau massif, while overlooking the Grindelwald valley on the right.
