Männlichen
A ridge viewpoint between Wengen and Grindelwald. The Royal Walk to the crown-shaped lookout and the panoramic trail to Kleine Scheidegg are classic routes.
Männlichen sits at 2,343 m on the ridge between Wengen and Grindelwald. Reach it by cable car from Wengen, or from Grindelwald (departing from Grindelwald Terminal). A 20-minute Royal Walk from the summit station leads to a crown-shaped viewpoint. The Lauterbrunnen Valley lies on one side, the Grindelwald Valley on the other, and the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau rise straight ahead. The panoramic trail from here to Kleine Scheidegg takes about 1.5 hours and is almost entirely flat, making it the most popular family hike in the Jungfrau region. In winter it becomes a ski area. Cable car return fare is about CHF 60–70, included in the Jungfrau Travel Pass.
