Return Details

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.

Unexplainable trip
Gurjit_B
, Jan 2022
This trip was a dream come true. It’s unexplainable experience that one has to experience it to understand the depth of nature’s beauty. Though it was freezing cold and I am not a fond of cold but I would do it again on a heartbeat. The items at Gift shop are really good. Food is delicious there specially the soup from self serving restaurant on 2nd floor. Cogwheel trains was a unique experience. Best part of the trip was that Eduardo our tour guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Ernesto our driver was the best, I was admiring how he drives so smoothly in the mountains. All together was a trip worth of every penny spent.

The ice castle was pretty fantastic. One comment would be for the guide to perhaps let the tourists enjoy the scenery a bit more on the way up to the mountains (less narration).

Even thought the weather was bad and we can’t have the view and some activities were closed, we still have good experience going up the mountain. Our guide Mr Pedro is an experience guide with sense of humour.

Burnese Oberland : It’s a Wonderful World
Sandeep_J
, Dec 2021
Tour guide on Christmas Day was amazing. A Swiss local; spoke good English and had tons of information, and took on most questions about the area easily. She covered a wide range of topics from local sightseeing, to sports, to history about William Tell, Swiss ‘sumo’ wrestling and politics. The tour provided ample time at the peak and lots of freedom to self-explore. I usually like doing things on my own, but there were quite a few transportation changes involved that the logistics would have taken up valuable vacation time. My fellow tourists were also a fun lot.

We had a great day on the Swiss Alps tour! Rebecca was a terrific guide, and our driver was also excellent. I believe his name was Ernesto. The views were stunning, and we were blessed with a clear day. The tour left on time and ended exactly twelve hours later. Super from beginning to end! We’ll always remember it. So glad we went!
