The
Eiger is a 3,967-metre (13,015 ft) mountain of the
Bernese Alps, overlooking
Grindelwald and
Lauterbrunnen in the
Bernese Oberland of
Switzerland, just north of the main watershed and border with
Valais. It is the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends across the
Mönch to the
Jungfrau at 4,158 m (13,642 ft), constituting one of the most emblematic sights of the
Swiss Alps. While the northern side of the mountain rises more than 3,000 m (10,000 ft) above the two valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, the southern side faces the large glaciers of the
Jungfrau-Aletsch area, the most glaciated region in the
Alps. The most notable feature of the Eiger is its 1,800-metre-high (5,900 ft) north face of rock and ice, named
Eigerwand or
Nordwand, which is the
biggest north face in the Alps. This huge face towers over the resort of
Kleine Scheidegg at its base, on the homonymous pass connecting the two valleys.The
Mönch (
German: "monk") at 4,107 metres (13,474 ft) is a
mountain in the
Bernese Alps, in
Switzerland. Together with the
Eiger and the
Jungfrau, it forms a highly recognisable group of mountains, visible from far away.
The Mönch lies on the border between the cantons of
Valais and
Bern, and forms part of a mountain ridge between the Jungfrau and
Jungfraujoch to the west, and the Eiger to the east. It is west of
Mönchsjoch, a pass at 3,650 metres (11,980 ft),
Mönchsjoch Hut, and north of the Jungfraufirn and Ewigschneefäld, two affluents of the Great
Aletsch Glacier. The north side of the Mönch forms a step wall above the
Lauterbrunnen valley.
