Introducción
The Eiger mountain behind you and the Wetterhorn ahead: Scenery like this automatically ensures you have enough sporting motivation. The famous north face appears in particularly impressive fashion after a loop by the Glacier Gorge (Gletscherschlucht).
Descripción
The Gletscherschlucht trail at the bottom of the Grindelwald valley is characterised by several curves and loops. To begin with, the trail follows the reasonably straight Black Lütschine river, which is then crossed in Mettenberg. The river’s dark colour is due to crumbled shale. Travelling through a field with a few individual trees, you reach the river’s counterpart, the White Lütschine. This is a cloudy, milky colour due to the glacial water.
After a large loop travelling away from the valley, you turn around once again. You will now be going towards the real highlight of the trail which gave it its name: The Glacier Gorge (Gletscherschlucht). In the lower Grindelwald Glacier, the Lütschine river has formed a real spectacle: The gorge is a real natural masterpiece with its moulins, ribbons and the pink and green blocks of marble. The gorge, once covered by glacial ice, can be walked through in the summer via balconies and tunnels.
You then travel through the forest, back to the start. The whole trail alternates between open and wooded parts. There are also uphill inclines in three sections. Of course, every interesting trail has to have a good view: You start with the Eiger mountain right behind you. In front of you is the imposing Wetterhorn mountain. After the loop by the Glacier Gorge, the Eiger’s north face towers above you, with the Hörnligrat ridge – famous among climbers – standing out against the sky.
