The "Royal Walk" leads from the top station of the Männlichen cable car via the gravel dome to the summit. On the way there is a whole kingdom to discover. The path through the future kingdom begins at the entrance gate. On the way the hikers meet a court painter, explore a variety of treasures and get to know your court. Who the secret ruler of the region really is will be revealed at the end of the hike.
Already the approach to Männlichen is a small adventure. From Grindelwald the world's longest cable car takes young and old up to the top. From Wengen the "Royal Ride" takes you to the top station.
