Your Experience

Set off on an extraordinary Swiss Alps journey as your expert guide leads you from your chosen city to Jungfraujoch – the Top of Europe. Begin the day in Lucerne, Zürich or Geneva and board a spacious, air-conditioned coach headed into the heart of the Bernese Oberland. Your first scenic stop is Interlaken, a postcard-perfect resort nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Here you have time to stretch your legs, enjoy the alpine town atmosphere and snap photos of the surrounding peaks.

By Coach and Rack Railway

Back onboard, travel further into the mountains to Lauterbrunnen. From this charming village, transition from road to rails as you board the historic Wengernalp rack railway. This train whisks you upwards through meadows and past waterfalls, climbing steadily to Kleine Scheidegg.

At Kleine Scheidegg, transfer to the renowned Jungfrau cogwheel train. Its slow, winding ascent gives you plenty of opportunities to admire the glacial valleys, rocky peaks and ever-changing scenery as you approach the highest railway station in Europe, perched at 3454 meters.

Jungfraujoch Attractions

Once you arrive at Jungfraujoch, explore a wonderland of snow and ice at your own pace. Climb up to the Sphinx Observatory’s panoramic terrace for breathtaking views of the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in Europe. Stroll through the Ice Palace where shimmering sculptures line frozen tunnels, and step out onto the Plateau – a thrilling spot to truly appreciate the vast alpine world that surrounds you. Don’t miss Alpine Sensation, an exhibition telling the story of Jungfrau Railway’s remarkable construction.

Return Journey

If your return is to Lucerne or Zürich, descend via the Eiger Express gondola to Grindelwald Terminal – an engineering marvel offering striking mountain vistas. For Geneva-bound guests, the return is made by train down from Kleine Scheidegg, ensuring all routes provide spectacular landscapes and unique travel experiences.

Cultural Insights

Throughout the day, your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating local lore and facts – such as how Lauterbrunnen inspired JRR Tolkien’s iconic depiction of Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings. Marvel at views once admired by great writers and artists, and immerse yourself in the region’s rich heritage.

End Point

Your well-organised day concludes with comfortable coach travel back to your departure city, closing out an unforgettable alpine adventure among some of Switzerland’s highest peaks.
