Grosse Scheidegg
The starting point for hikes in all directions at 1962 m above sea level.
The Grosse Scheidegg can be reached by bus from Grindelwald in 40 minutes and from Meiringen in 60 minutes. A large, cozy restaurant with over 100 seats invites you to linger. In fine weather, you can enjoy the panoramic terrace with views of the rock faces of the High Alps.
The Grosse Scheidegg is extremely popular with bikers, but also with hikers. Firstly, the Wetterhorn, Eiger and Engelhörner provide a stunning backdrop and secondly, the road is largely car-free. The hikes to First and Rosenlaui Gorge are very popular.
The Alpine Cheese Festival takes place in September.
There is a general ban on motorized traffic between Schwarzwaldalp and Grindelwald (from Hotel Wetterhorn). In the summer months, buses run from both sides (Grindelwald and Schwarzwaldalp) to Grosse Scheidegg. In winter, the bus only runs from Schwarzwaldalp.
