Grosse Scheidegg via First to Waldspitz
The starting point for this hike is Grosse Scheidegg. There is plenty to discover on the panoramic mountain hiking trail to the first waypoint: Wild mountain streams, beautiful flowers such as the gentian and, of course, the shy marmots. The route then leads from First to Bachalpsee. The path down to Bachläger is a little rough at times. From there to Waldspitz it's time to relax your legs again.
The rugged rock faces of Wetterhorn at the starting point of this hike are impressive to behold. But Grosse Scheidegg has more to offer than just the view of a rock face. Numerous peaks tower into the sky all around. To the west Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Eiger and Mönch, to the east Grindelgrad and Wetterhorn. Enjoying the view, it's an easy march along the well-maintained road towards Gratschärem. There, the signpost points to the marmot mountain hiking trail. On this section of the trail, you have to cross small footbridges over streams again and again. At Grindel-Oberlägeri, the first whistles of the marmots can be heard. On the trail named after them, the shy but curious rodents can be observed from a safe distance. After the marmot excursion, a short ascent to the First mountain station awaits. There you can enjoy a little refreshment and a truly magnificent view of Eiger and its fellows in the mountain restaurant. From the mountain station there are a few metres of altitude to conquer. A well-maintained marl road leads towards Faulhorn to Bachalpsee – a true pearl of nature. It is enchanting how the surrounding mountain peaks and the sky are reflected in it.
Passing the lake, the trail descends along the
Milibach stream on the other side of the valley. The mountain hiking trail is
narrow in places and challenges the leg muscles. At the waterfall in Bachläger,
the wet element once again shows its thunderous power. From there it's time to
relax your legs. It's a leisurely walk to the destination of the hike,
Waldspitz with the restaurant of the same name.
