33. The Eiger Trail, Switzerland

Travel to the Jungfrau Region to complete this 7.25-kilometer point-to-point hike. Rated easy to moderate, it has an elevation gain of 140 meters as you ascend and 800 meters as you descend. You will need at least two if not three hours for this hike.

Some hikers say this is one of their favorite short hikes on the continent. The trail follows Eiger Mountain’s north face. Enjoy the incredible views all the way ‘cross the lush Lauterbrunnen Valley to Grindelwald and Mürren.

Most of this hike is actually downhill so that will help beginners and anyone who is not exactly super fit as well. You can even do this hike when you visit Jungfraujoch.
