A training route that begins with a hard, intense climb from Grindelwald via Holewang and Feld to the Faulhorn. Upon reaching the summit, the historic Faulhorn mountain restaurant invites you in for refreshments before heading out on the Eiger Ultra Trail E101 route towards Schynige Platte - an unforgettably beautiful route with unobstructed views of the lakes and lowlands on one side and the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau on the other. From Schynige Platte a train brings you to Wilderswil, or you could tackle the steep E101/E51 technical descent from here to Burglauenen.

Getting There
Public transport
Thanks to its central location in Europe, Switzerland is served by international trains from over 12 countries. Within Switzerland, Intercity trains run directly from Basel and Lucerne to the Jungfrau Region. Travellers from Zurich have to change in Berne. The trains run every half hour.
Getting there
There are different ways to reach the region by car. The fastest way from Basel and Geneva is via Berne. The fastest route from Zurich is through Lucerne and the Brünig Pass. The pass is open in summer and winter.
From the south, the route goes over the Grimsel or Susten Pass into the region. Both passes are only open in summer. Alternatively, you can take the Simplon Pass and then Lötschberg car transport.
