The Kleine Scheidegg is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m (6,762 ft), situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhornpeaks in the Bernese Oberland region ofSwitzerland. The name means "minorwatershed", even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald withLauterbrunnen, passing through Wengenbetween the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination.
