The Eiger Trail was created in 1997 and leads from Alpiglen up to the Eigergletscher Station. It takes about three hours, the sign says, and is on some steep slopes, crossing soft snow gullies. Pictures: 1: Alpiglen and train; 2: the Schynige Platte and its ridge walk; 3: looking east at the Wetterhorn, Grindelwald below; 4: the North Face, covered in its own cloud for most of the day; 5: female Orange Tip; 6 & 7: Asian tourists and Sue B-H on the trail; 8: looking east again; 9: we arrived at 4 pm, six hours after leaving Alpiglen.
