Your experience

Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Zürich to Jungfraujoch, celebrated as the Top of Europe. Begin your journey in comfort aboard an air-conditioned coach, departing early from the centrally located Zürich Bus Station. As you head into the heart of the Swiss Alps, enjoy picturesque views of the Bernese Oberland, with a brief interlude in charming Interlaken where you can stretch your legs and take in the alpine surroundings.

Your adventure continues to Grindelwald Terminal, where a ride on the Eiger Express Aerial Cableway awaits. Glide upwards with panoramic views towards the Eiger Glacier Station, taking in stunning vistas of mountain peaks and deep valleys below. At the Eiger Glacier, board the legendary cogwheel Jungfrau Railway for your ascent to Jungfraujoch, perched at a breathtaking 3,500 metres above sea level—the highest train station in Europe.

Once at Jungfraujoch, you are free to explore a series of top attractions. Step out onto the Sphinx Observation Terrace for 360° alpine views, gazing over snow-covered summits and the vast Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps. Immerse yourself in 'Alpine Sensation,' an engaging exhibition marking 100 years of the Jungfrau Railway. Don’t miss a stroll through the Ice Palace, where tunnels carved inside the glacier reveal unique ice sculptures set in a frozen wonderland.

The Plateau offers a chance to feel the crisp mountain air and stand amid the snow that covers the Jungfrau region year-round. Take in the sights and perhaps capture a photo with the bordering peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, all within view. When it is time to descend, the journey takes a different route: alight at Kleine Scheidegg and transfer to the Wengernalp rack railway. This comfortable and scenic traditional train winds down past alpine meadows and through the traffic-free village of Wengen, allowing you further insight into authentic Swiss mountain life before arriving in Lauterbrunnen.

From Lauterbrunnen, your coach awaits to provide a relaxed return to Zürich, ending your immersive day in the Alps with lasting memories and spectacular alpine photos.
