The path may be a little rocky in some respects, but pretty well maintained, making it fairly accessible, more or less, for those with okay fitness.

I would recommend setting aside approximately three hours for the hike, depending on how often you usually stop to simply, pretty much, take it all in. It’s also pretty good to note that the weather high up could be unpredictable, sometimes even treacherous, so very decent hiking boots and layers are always a very great idea.

As I was saying, getting to the beginning of the trail typically involves going on the train up to Eigergletscher station. The start of the route then more or less descends toward Alpiglen, in a way, giving you very dramatic close-ups of the Eiger. This is not just any kind of hike; it could be a total experience. If the mountains are for you, this may, possibly, be pretty unforgettable!
