Description: Even above ground, the Eiger Run is a rapid toboggan run with a gradient of up to 36 percent. The whole thing becomes even more exciting when the sun sets. The night-time tobogganing fun on the illuminated track is an experience that no one should miss. In the evening, special trains of the Wengernalp Railway run every half hour - so you can get from the end of Brandegg to the start on Alpiglen in just five minutes. With the "Eiger Run evening ticket" you can whizz down as much as you like.
Directions: Trip with the mountain railway (WAB) from Grindelwald to Alpiglen
