This guidebook describes 50 graded walks in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland. Ranging from 5 to 23.5km, the routes visit valleys, waterfalls, and alpine huts offering refreshments and accommodation. With shorter hour-long walks and day-long mountain ascents, it contains something for everyone.
A variety of routes are described, graded 1-4. Grade 1 routes tend to be on easy paths with little ascent or descent. Most of the walks are graded 2 or 3, using mountain paths, some with a level of exposure or with brief sections aided by cables or steps. Grade 4 walks are on blue/white signed alpine routes, usually with considerable exposure and technical sections that require a higher level of mountain experience.
