The Panorama Trail: Männlichen-Kleine Scheidegg

A true classic: Starting from the Männlichen mountain at 2,230 metres above sea level, this unmatched high Alpine trail to the Kleine Scheidegg via Honegg and Rotstöckli down to 2,061 metres above sea level. After doing this hike, you’ll understand why the route is called the Panorama Trail.

And much more ...

The famous/infamous Lauberhorn downhill run route is great to hike. The route leads to Burglauenen via Leiterhorn and Spätenalp and on to the Hunneflue lookout and the Staubbachbänkli scenic view point. These are just some of the many hikes to enjoy in and around Wengen.
