+10 photos
No trip to Switzerland is complete without a visit to Jungfraujoch, known as the ‘Top of Europe.’ This unforgettable day out takes you to Europe’s highest train station at 3,500m, and deep into a UNESCO-listed wonderland of ice, snow and staggering alpine views.You’ll travel by coach to the pretty mountain town of Grindelwald, where the brand-new Eiger Express gondola whisks you up to Eiger Glacier station. From there, it’s all aboard the cogwheel train for a scenic climb past the mighty Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks. The drama of the North Face of the Eiger seems close enough to touch.At the summit, it’s a high-altitude playground of eternal ice, snow and rock. Wander through the magical Ice Palace inside the glacier and take in the views from the Sphinx Observation Terrace. Think rugged, snow-capped peaks, and the Aletsch Glacier, Europe’s longest. Marking the 100-year anniversary of the Jungfrau Railway is the Alpine Sensation experience, where you’ll discover the story of the Jungfrau Railway.The descent takes you via the peaceful, car-free village of Wengen and on to Lauterbrunnen, where your coach ride back to Interlaken wraps up this epic alpine adventure.
