Which Gran Turismo HD Concept track is based on Kleine Scheidegg in the Swiss Alps?

The story behind the answer

The Gran Turismo HD Concept track based on Kleine Scheidegg in the Swiss Alps is Eiger Nordwand.

Gran Turismo HD Concept was a PlayStation 3 preview released as a free PlayStation Store download on December 24, 2006. Unlike full Gran Turismo games, it contained only one track, making Eiger Nordwand especially central to the demo.

The fictional mountain-pass circuit takes its setting and visual inspiration from Kleine Scheidegg, a Swiss pass between Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. Its scenery includes views toward the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks. The name Eiger Nordwand means “Eiger north face,” referring to the famous climbing face of the Eiger.

A common mix-up is treating Kleine Scheidegg and Eiger Nordwand as interchangeable names. Kleine Scheidegg is the real-world location; Eiger Nordwand is the fictional Gran Turismo track. The course later returned in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo 6, and related Eiger content has continued in the series.
