Itinerary
This is an unforgettable alpine tour to the majestic world of the Jungfraujoch - known as the Top of Europe at 3,454 m / 11,333 ft. A scenic coach tour takes us to the magnificent mountain world of the Bernese Oberland.
After a short interlude in Interlaken you will reach Lauterbrunnen, where the trip continues onward and upward in the modern cogwheel railway through idyllic scenery to Kleine Scheidegg, located immediately at the foot of the imposing Eiger North Face.
You will continue ever upwards by train past the Eiger North Face station where Husky dogs are bred, all the way through the mountain to the highest railway station in Europe, Jungfraujoch. This wonderland of eternal snow and ice is absolutely stunning. Visit the Ice Palace and its sculptures, or enjoy the breathtaking views from the Sphinx lookout terrace. This terrace provides views over the Aletsch Glacier, the longest ice stream in Europe, to the surrounding mountain peaks of the neighboring countries. If you are hungry, there are four restaurants to try.
Hop on the coghweel train to station 'Eigergletscher', where you will change to the V-Cableway Eiger Express. After approx. 15 minutes you will reach Grindelwald Terminal, where the coach awaits for the return to Lucerne.
