The wide, well maintained panorama trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg with a gentle descent most of the way. Only the part by the Tschuggen flank has a guard rail. We walked early October and the trail had only a section (mainly in the shade) that was icy and tricky to manoeuvre as it was one of the few uphill sections. The views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are simple breathtaking.

This 656-foot waterfall is best known for its fictional significance as the place of Sherlock Holmes's death.
A small funicular railway brings you up to a waterfall, the view there is just amazing! A small and easy hiking trail allows you to see the waterfall and the beautiful surrounding landscape from different points of view. Fully recommended!

A mountain chain popular for its scenic beauty and great skiing.
Yes- that’s the description of this this activity on this tripadvisor page. It is about the complete general area. It is not about the specific place known as Jungfraujoch, “the top of Europe,” so stop writing about that. Now back to business- this is a fantastic scenic lovely panoramic breathtaking glorious region of majestic towering snow capped mountains ... and so many mountain trails, hikes and excursions. Suffice to say that the people who ask me why I keep returning every year are the people who have never been here. It’s so worth a visit. So look at my many photos!!

It takes you just 32 minutes by Cable car to reach the summit of the 2970 m high Schilthorn. Enjoy the beautiful view of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau (UNESCO World Heritage) and on more than 200 other summits.
The Schilthorn on a cool clear day you really can see what looks for ever. Schilthorn is magnificent and view from the restaurant Piz Gloria is excellent well matching it’s beautiful setting.

Icy air streams across your face, snow crunches under your feet, and the view nearly takes your breath away: on one side the view of the Mittelland up to the Vosges, on the other the Aletsch glacier, bordered by four thousand metre peaks. Standing on the Jungfraujoch 3,454 metres above sea level, you can feel it with your first step: this is a different world. It's one you have to experience.

He painted the Jungfrau and the Schynige Platte, but Ferdinand Hodler never committed Lake Bachalpsee to canvas. The glacial water reflecting the Schreckhorn in the calm air would have been entirely in keeping with the taste of the well-known symbolist. Many others discovered the beauty of the "blue jewel". Lake Bachalpsee travels around the world as a postcard. However: no photo are able capture the radiance of the lake. You need to go there and see it for yourself. That doesn't require much effort. Lake Bachalpsee can be reached from First on foot in less than an hour.
Bachalpsee is an extremely scenic lake and can be reached by an easy hike from First. Definitely worth visiting.

Swiss Alps are breathtaking, all worth it...ready for my next adventure. The Alpine region of Switzerland, conventionally referred to as the Swiss Alps, represents a major natural feature of the country and is, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss portion of the Jura Mountains, one of its three main physiographic regions
