Returns to original departure point
Greet your guide in a central Zurich location and climb aboard a comfortable coach destined for Grindelwald. Receive a fascinating introduction to the Bernese Oberland region as you travel through the beautiful countryside and then refresh with a hot beverage (own expense) during a brief interlude in Interlaken.

Travel onward to Grindelwald to board the gondola Eiger Express of the newly opened V-Cableway for a ride to the Eiger Glacier station, where you change for the cogwheel train headed to one of Europe’s highest points. Marvel at dramatic mountain scenery during the ride up the UNESCO-listed Jungfraujoch mountain pass, and scour the horizon for the jagged peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains.

On arrival at the 11,332-foot (3,454-meter) summit, gaze at mind blowing views of the Alpine wonderland below, and then ascend to the Sphinx Observatory for even more magnificent panoramas. Try to spot the craggy peak of the Aletsch Glacier, Europe’s longest glacier, and then explore the frozen tunnels of the Ice Palace during an enchanting guided tour.

Opt to enjoy a fulfilling meal at one of the many rustic restaurants at the summit (own expense) and then re-board the train for the journey to Lauterbrunnen, where your coach awaits. Relax during the journey back to Zurich, where the tour concludes.

Not a relaxing experience
Courtney_H

Really nice tour and I got some of the most amazing pictures. However, your on a bus with 20+ people and the tour guide translates everything in multiple languages which means you don’t experience real time information. There are also Multiple tours within your bus, which means you need to drop off and pick up people not going to the same seat as you. There are multiple bus changes which means you never really get to relax. There’s no WiFi or bathrooms and one of the legs is 2 hours long. I thought my tour guide was average. She didn’t seem to have a deep knowledge of Switzerland’s culture or historical facts. The tour company also does a poor job of communicating relevant information for the tour. Wear a warm jacket, it will be below freezing at the top.

Dear Courtney, Thank you very much for participating in our tour to the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour in general and got to take beautiful pictures to take home with you. Due to the ongoing travel restrictions, we are still facing much lower guest numbers than before the pandemic. The merging of groups and languages not only allows us to guarantee our departures, but it also gives guests the chance to visit smaller but not less interesting destinations than the world-famous Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe. Since a visit to Europe's highest railway station involves different modes of transport, changing several times between bus, cable car and train is unavoidable. However, the journey itself is an unforgettable experience and as a plus, every change also offers the opportunity to use the bathroom. The Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe is located at 3’463 meters (approx. 11’000 ft) above sea level and covered in snow and ice all year round and therefore it is certainly recommended to bring a warm jacket or several layers of clothing. We are sorry to hear that the guidance provided by your tour guide did not live up to your expectations. While she has been working with us for several years, it was one of her first tours after nearly two years and we will make sure to share your feedback with her. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Switzerland and look forward to welcoming you back on our tours on your next visit! Best regards, Best of Switzerland Tours

Awesome trip. Total worth of every singlr penny. Our guide Konrad Peter makes our tour more beautiful. Planning to visit the place again sometime in summer. Also last but not the least the Best of Switzerland tour is maining a very good hygiene. Every time we were stepping into the bus, the santizer spray was mandatory to use. Keeping th mask on and keeping distance in bus was strictly followed.

Wonderful time in Jungfraujoch

I really enjoyed the Trip. Our guide Maude was very helpful. She gave a commentary from the time we pulled out of the bus parking lot until we got to each activity. I personally enjoy learning about the towns and sites we are just passing by as well as the destination. Dan was also another guide on the trip who was very helpful hearing the group. The stops were wonderful, I only wish we had more time at each one. Jungfraujoch was magnificent. I loved the Ice tunnels.

Had a magnificent time. Long bus and train rides from Zurich, but the experience was well worth it. Our guides were very informative and easy to understand. And the bus driver was very skilled along the mountainous terrain. Simply put, Awesome.
