Jungfraujoch Roundtrip Train from Grindelwald
This roundtrip journey takes you from the charming village of Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station at 3,454 metres above sea level. The route combines train and cable car transport, starting with a scenic train ride through the Bernese Alps before switching to the Eiger Express cable car at Eigergletscher station.
