The Tschuggen is 2521 m above sea level. M. high summit in the Bernese Pre-Alps above Wengen . It is the highest point in a chain of three mountains that rise north of the Kleine Scheidegg between Grindelwald and Wengen or the Lauterbrunnen valley . To the south of the Tschuggen lies the Lauberhorn ( 2,472 m above sea level ), in the north of the Männlichen ( 2,343 m above sea level ).
The mountain range drops steeply to the west over cliffs. As with other mountains of the Axen Nappe , which consists of 180 million year old slates , clay and marl stones , the Tschuggen falls steeply into rock faces not only in the west to Wengen, but also in the north, while the southeast flank is less steep and rocky . In contrast to the Männlichen and the Lauberhorn, the pyramid-like Tschuggen is much more difficult to climb, as the southeast flank in the summit area is also quite steep and interspersed with rocks.
On the east side of the Tschuggen, the popular hiking trail leads from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. In contrast to its neighbors, the Tschuggen summit is neither accessible by marked hiking trails nor by railways. On the east side there are two chair lifts for skiers . The mountain station of the higher is at approx. 2300 m above sea level. M. on the east shoulder.
