Historic Trail to the Old Hotel Jungfrau-Eggishorn

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

All that remains is the retaining wall of the plateau.
There are beautiful pictures of the old hotel.
At that time (1911) there were even plans to build a narrow-gauge railway from Brig up to the hotel.
There are rumors that the hotel was deliberately burned down in 1972.

Tälligrat Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The Tälligratt tunnel is a tunnel that was used in the 1980s for the water supply of the Aletsch region in the canton of Valais, u. a. the Riederalp was built. The tunnel passes under the Tällrat (2615 m), an extension of the Eggishorn. The northwestern entrance to the tunnel is located in the Märjelen valley at an altitude of 2347 meters.

A few years after the commissioning of an irrigation and drinking water pipeline, the tunnel was opened to hikers and is now also illuminated with solar power. (From Wiki)
