Full description

The trip to the Jungfraujoch is one of the great rail journeys of the Alps. With a guide handling the connections, you travel from Interlaken via Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg, then through the tunnel inside the Eiger and the Mönch to the station at 3,454 m.

At the top you visit the Sphinx observation terrace, the Ice Palace carved into the glacier and the plateau facing the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps. Rail tickets are included. Views depend on the weather, and on clear summer days the trains are busy.
