Mittlellegi from the SE

Eiger from the SE. The two recommended approaches to the Mittellegi Hut from the Eismeer Station are shown in red. The buttress directly below the hut can be climbed more directly if there is rock fall danger in couloir on the lower approach. The Mittellegi Ridge Route follows the crest of the ridge (right skyline) except for a short section of fixed ropes on the north side just above the Grossen Turm.
