Classic mountain walk, with views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau which leads down into the Truemmelbach. As you hike along the terrace at the foot of the Maennlichen range, the path meanders slowly up through woods and alpine meadows to Wengernalp and then around the slopes of the Lauberhorn to Kleine Scheidegg.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer an easier morning, take the cable car from Wengen up to Maennlichen, then walk 1h30 on a panoramic path to Kleine Scheidegg. It is also possible to take the Jungfraubahn the whole way from Wengen to Kleine Scheidegg (25 mins by train).
This afternoon, enjoy a downhill walk over alpine pastures from Salzegg and Mettlenstutzhuetten to Alpiglen. You might like to consider taking the train from Grindelwald Grund station down into Grindelwald itself, as the short descent is quite steep.
Alternatively, you can take the Jungfraubahn from Kleine Scheidegg to Grindelwald (40 mins by train).

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
