What Makes It Great

A 51km journey through the panoramic highlands above Grindelwald, climbing toward Grosse Scheidegg before following sweeping alpine terrain via First, Bachalpsee, and up to the Faulhorn summit at 2680m — where runners earn 360-degree views of the Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, and beyond. The descent via Schynige Platte and Burglauenen is scenic but relentless, and the 3100m of total gain makes the aptly named 'Panorama Trail' a genuine challenge despite its beautiful character.
