Jungfraujoch Top of Europe - Guided Day Trip with Eiger Express

Leave the city behind and watch the landscape change from rolling green hills and lakeside villages to the first snowy summits of the Bernese Oberland. Along the way, your guide shares stories of the region, its people and the pioneers who built a railway to the top of Europe.

Stretch your legs in charming Interlaken, the Alpine resort town nestled between the turquoise waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Take in the mountain air and enjoy your first views of the Jungfrau region.

Arrive at Grindelwald Terminal and board the Eiger Express, the state-of-the-art tri-cable gondola that has transformed the journey to Jungfraujoch. With your seats reserved and priority boarding, glide upwards for about 15 minutes beneath the majestic Eiger North Face, its sheer rock walls rising so close you almost feel you could touch them.

Step out at the Eiger Glacier station, surrounded by ice and rock, and switch to the historic cogwheel train of the Jungfrau Railway. The final ascent takes you deep inside the Eiger and Mönch, through tunnels carved into the mountain more than a century ago, all the way to Europe's highest railway station.

Emerge into a world of eternal snow and ice at 3,454 metres, in the heart of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll have plenty of time to explore at your own pace:

Alpine Sensation: an atmospheric walk through the tunnels, celebrating the vision and hard work of the railway's builders.

Sphinx Observation Terrace: step outside for sweeping 360-degree views of the Alps and the mighty Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps, with neighbouring countries visible on clear days.

Ice Palace: wander through glittering blue tunnels and ice sculptures carved deep inside the glacier.

Plateau: feel the snow beneath your feet and take your souvenir photo with the Swiss flag, with the Jungfrau and Mönch as your backdrop.

Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven: indulge in Swiss chocolate at the Lindt shop, or relax over lunch at one of the summit restaurants.

Begin the scenic descent by cogwheel train to Kleine Scheidegg, the high mountain pass at the very foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Change trains here and enjoy close-up views of the famous trio of peaks.

Roll down through Wengen, the picturesque car-free village perched on a sunny terrace high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley, with its chalets, flower boxes and endless mountain views.

Arrive in the dramatic Lauterbrunnen Valley, where sheer limestone cliffs rise on both sides and waterfalls tumble from hundreds of metres above, including the spectacular Staubbach Falls right beside the village. Take a few photos before meeting your coach.

Relax on the coach as you head back through the Swiss countryside, sharing your favourite moments of the day.
