The Alpine mountain whose north face is known as the Eigerwand is the Eiger.
The Eiger is a 3,967-metre mountain in Switzerland's Bernese Alps, overlooking Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. Its enormous north face is called Eiger-Nordwand, Eigerwand, or simply Nordwand; the German terms mean “Eiger north wall” and “north wall.”
The face rises roughly 1,600 to 1,800 metres and became famous as one of the great climbing challenges of the Alps. The first successful ascent of the north face was completed in 1938 by Anderl Heckmair, Heinrich Harrer, Ludwig Vörg and Fritz Kasparek.
Eigerwand is also associated with the Jungfrau Railway. A railway station and viewing gallery lie inside the mountain behind the north face, allowing visitors to look toward the wall without climbing it. The Mönch and Jungfrau are neighbouring peaks in the same prominent ridge, but neither has the Eigerwand.
