Highlights
- Lucerne - Your guide will meet you at your hotel in Lucerne and accompany you to the train station as you head to Jungfraujoch through Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Kleine Scheidegg.
- Grindelwald - We’ll stop in Grindelwald and get onto the Eiger Expresss
- Jungfraujoch - As we head along the Jungfrau line through Zweilütschinen, Grindelwald Terminal, and Kleine Scheidegg, your guide will share stories about the people, cultures, and history of each town and city you pass. Your train will climb steadily through the Alps, passing glacial lakes and staggering rock faces. The view from the train is one of the best in the world, offering a birds-eye view of this epic area. The journey to “the top of Europe” will include the opportunity to take in the stunning view from Eismer Station, the second-highest railway station in the world after the Jungfraujoch. Back on the train the sights only get better, as you reach an elevation of 3,466 meters approaching Jungfraujoch. The station is perched on a glacier saddle on the upper snows of the Aletsch Glacier and is a must-visit for anyone interested in the Alps. The icy air will provide welcome refreshment as you explore the viewing platform, and discover the many ice sculptures around the area.
- Lauterbrunnen - Next, you will head to Interlaken, weaving your way through the small town of Wengen, whose views are as mesmerizing as they are legendary. Watch as rocky climbs give way to lush Alpine valleys, and the skyline rises and falls along with the surrounding peaks. Your ride will pause at Lauterbrunnen, a valley town set within dramatic rock faces and epic waterfalls. Here we will take a walk to the iconic Staubbach Falls, whose water drops a whopping 297 meters from the overhanging cliffs to the pool below. The sight of the water dissolving to spray as it falls is striking. Our guide will share the stories behind the falls, and you will have the opportunity to take photos of the stunning surroundings.
- Lucerne - At the end of your tour, the guide will escort you back to your hotel or residence in Lucerne
