Eiger Nordwand (North Face) was the first course that the production team began working on when developing courses for the game. The team stayed for an extended period in Kleine Scheidegg in Switzerland looking up at the North Face of the Elger Nordwand, which periodically reveals itself through the constantly changing weather. The task was to capture not only the dynamic scenery, but also the airy feeling that is unique to high mountain regions; the creation of a world that makes you feel like you are actually there was achieved as a result of many repeated attempts through trial and error. This release of the course is an even more detailed creation than was released in Gran Turismo HD Concept at the end of the 2006.
