    Wonderful high-altitude route to the middle of the three world-famous peaks Eiger - Mönch - Jungfrau.

    Author’s recommendation

    You should allow enough time for the visit to the mountain station. The entire visit is definitely worth it.

    Safety information

    Although it is a "short" route, you should still have good endurance due to the altitude.

    Roadbook

    From the Jungfraujoch, follow the groomed hiking trail towards the Mönchsjochhütte. About 300m before the hut, put on your crampons and begin the ascent on the left. The exact route, of course, always depends on the snow conditions and can be freely chosen. Be careful of heavy cornices at the summit ridge. Do not place the route too high or too far outside.
