   Order Champagne During Ascent

   Walk to Eiger Glacier Viewing Platform

   adventure Free

   At 2,322m, step out at Eiger Glacier station. You're slightly buzzed from altitude + champagne (thin air + alcohol = fast buzz). Walk to the viewing platform, look up at the Nordwand. You just drank champagne while ascending this mountain's flank.
