Bus Terminal Sihlquai is located 200 meters behind Zurich HB (central station). IMPORTANT: When using GPS - please type in ‘Limmatstrasse 4, 8005 Zürich’. You can find our Gray Line check-in booth right at the first parking lot.

8:30 AM
This activity will end right where it started.
Start your day trip from the bus terminal in central Zurich and depart by coach for the scenic journey south. Travel among the towering peaks of Switzerland's Bernese Oberland to Lauterbrunnen, where a cogwheel train carries you up to Europe’s highest-altitude train station, situated in a UNESCO-listed Alpine wilderness.

The 100-minute train ride winds through the Kleine Scheidegg mountain pass in the Bernese Oberland. Upon arrival at Jungfraujoch, situated at an elevation of 11,333 feet, disembark at the Top of Europe and head to the Alpine Sensation—a round-tour subway opened to mark the centenary of the Jungfrau Railway. 

Head to the Ice Palace for a glacier walk and stop at the Sphinx Observatory for sweeping views of Europe's longest glacier: Aletsch Glacier. From viewing platforms, enjoy a 360-degree panorama of this winter wonderland draped in a breathtaking display of ice and snow. On a clear day, look beyond to the mountain peaks of neighboring Italy and France. 

If you wish, purchase a snack or warm drink at the on-site restaurant (own expense) before the cogwheel train ride to ‘Eigergletscher’, where you will change to the V-Cableway Eiger Express. After approx. 15 minutes you will reach Grindelwald Terminal, where your coach awaits. Relax on the drive back to Zurich, arriving at the bus terminal in the evening.

The tour guide Kid made the experience amazing. He explained everything we needed to know from the start and his commentary regarding the places during the trip was outstanding. He told you when to take the best photos. I don't think the tour would have been as good without Kid and he was so organised it was great day. Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it.

Kid is an amazing tour guide. My parents and I had a great time. The tour is a bit pricy but it’s probably one of the best guided tours we had ever. The tour guide is experienced and knew all the nice places to take pictures. We were well taken care of. Most of my friends spent 2-3 days to visit the places in this trip, but if you wanted to hit all the spots in a one day, you should join this trip

Good tour! As advertised.

The visit to Jungfrau was as described, first the bus ride, quick visit to Interlaken, then the mountain trains, the Mountain top views, the ice palace, a train and cable car down the mountain and the bus ride back to Zurich. Our guide, Kid, was really good! He told us what to expect where to meet when we couldn’t stay as a group because of the crowds. He took pictures for every person/family in our group in multiple locations, I really appreciate this! You do a lot and it was a full day, check-in by 8:30 am, back about 7:30 pm. Only at the beginning trying to check-in at the right place in the bus station I felt a bit lost, but maybe I didn’t read the directions closely enough- luckily our tour guide saw me looking lost and pointed me in the right direction to show my ticket and get the stickers for my family to board the bus. I would recommend this tour and our guide, Kid :)

Amazing day with the tour guide “Thailand Kid”, I’ve had some amazing tours around the world but Kid (his name) did 12/10 as a tour guide. Took photos 1 on 1 with our camera for the whole group and then with his own camera. Never left anyone out.

Charles_V

The views of the Swiss countryside and views from the mountain were incredible. We enjoyed the bus ride from Zurich, and the train ride to the summit. The ice palace was amazing and beautiful. And the experience of the summit with the snow and wind was breath taking. A train ride half way back down to the cable car that ended our tour with incredible views. Throughout the tour our guide provided an interesting narrative and assisted all of us with taking terrific photos. He gave our family special attention and was greatly appreciated.

Spectacular sights. Guide Kid is awesome. He will take good care of you. He should probably warn guests that he turns into a raw savage upon arrival at the top… keeping group at front of line and commanding efficiency… which all pays off but intense at times.

The trip was great, Kid was an amazing guide and funny. Though we could not see anything very clear at the summit because of thunder storm and snowfall(another experience), but the experience from the cogwheel to the summit was something else. The mesmerism scenic beauty through the whole journey was breathtaking.
