Program details

Climb to the top of Europe with this exciting full-day excursion to Jungfraujoch, the highlight of any Swiss holiday. Classed by the UNESCO as the World Heritage of the Swiss Alps, this breath-taking scenario contains the world’s highest train station and many other unforgettable attractions.

Begin by enjoying a scenic coach journey through the very best Swiss countryside on your way to Bernese Oberland. After a leisurely break in Interlaken, an astounding location between two lakes, board the thrilling cogwheel train in Grindelwald that trundles you up to Jungfraujoch via Kleine Scheidegg. As you ascend, absorb the breath-taking views of the world-famous triple peaks of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau – respectively, the Ogre, the Monk and the Maiden.

Once at the top, lose yourself in the fascinating charm of this high-Alpine wonderland of ice, rock and snow. Experience the adventure tour “Alpine Sensation,” marking the 100 year anniversary of the Jungfrau Railway. Visit also the Sphinx Observation Terrace and Plateau, which boasts of the best vantage point over the snow-capped peaks, the various neighbouring countries and Europe’s longest glacier, the magnificent Aletsch Glacier.

While you are up there, don’t forget to wander through the magical tunnels of the Ice Palace located deep in the heart of the glacier – an experience you will never forget.

After that day of otherworldly sensations, on the way back you will pass the car-less holiday destination of Wengen and meet the coach in the charming Lauterbrunnen; you will discover great locations until the very last minute.
