	Wengernalpbahn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At Kleine Scheidegg passengers transfer to the Jungfraubahn for the continuation of the journey to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch.
		Originally operated by steam locomotives, electrificalion of the line from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg was completed on 3rd June 1909, followed by the section between Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg a year later, using 1500V d.c., with electric locomotives positioned, for safety reasons, at the lower end of the trains.
		However, a triangular junction specially built into the mountainside at Kleine Scheidegg allows the train to be turned if necessary so that it can also be used on the other side of the pass.

		The settlement (it doesn’t even count as a hamlet) throngs with daytime crowds switching trains for the Jungfraujoch, but sees virtually nobody staying overnight, although the “Good Morning” return to Jungfraujoch from here is a moderate Fr.58 (first train 8am), a significant saving on the full fare.
		Kleine Scheidegg is also the terminus for trains arriving from Grindelwald, over the hill to the east.

		The condition of a maximum gradient of 1 in 4 on a curving alignment was added to the surveyors' instructions, a direct length of rail between Kleine Scheidegg and the summit being out of the question due to the sheer steepness of the rise.
		Beyond Scheidegg the supplies were dumped on mountain shelves at suitable intervals along the planned alignment.
		KLEINE SCHEIDEGG STATION, 6,770 ft. above sea-level, the lower terminus of the Jungfrau Railway, is linked with Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken by another of the Swiss lines.

		From Mannlichen, you can walk to Klein Scheidegg where the views of Grindlewald, the Wetterhorn, The Eiger and the JungFrau are in clear view if the weather is sunny.

		The hike from the ridge to Kleine Scheidegg is not bad however.
