Kleine Scheidegg is the biggest of the three areas with most of the slopes being under the Eigers north face. Its mostly reds here which can get very wind blown and icey and are ofen no more than a thin path. The black Lauberhorn is good for a blast but wont put an expert rider to too much trouble. The off piste here is ok but theres not to many open faces with out a long hike in, apart from off the west face off the Salzegg drag which also has a good but short blast off its north side, its a bit of a travers but at least you can say you boarded on the Eigers north flank. Under the Gummy chairs is good and can be made longer if you pick your way through the rocks and trees down to the Tschuggen drag. There is also some cool tree runs lower down but it does tighten up so its best to get out of the trees before you get to low.

The best thing for freestyle here is to watch a DVD on the long train ride to the top on a lap top as they do nothing here for jibbers and the natural terrain doesnt offer much.

Begginers

Theres a very small area at the top Kleine Scheidegg which is shit really other than first dayers and a larger area in Wengen which can be very slushey as its only at 1274 meters. The real problem here is once youve sussed the basics theres nowhere to progress onto which doesnt have long flat or up hill sections.
