Switzerland · JUNGFRAUJOCH & THE TOP OF EUROPE
15 reviewed
Jungfraujoch is the highest railway station in Europe, and reaching 3,454 metres makes a full, unforgettable day out of Zurich. Here are the trips that get you there — which run direct, which fold in Grindelwald or Interlaken, what the summit ticket costs, and why the weather forecast decides everything.
Ride Mt. Pilatus by cable car, hike alpine trails, descend on the steepest cogwheel railway, then cruise Lake Lucerne back to town.

A guided day trip from Lucerne to Jungfraujoch using trains and the Eiger Express, with Ice Palace and Sphinx Observatory views.
“A breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps and great experience to walk against the strong wind at the glacier ! We have an unique and hilarious tour guide Kid. He handled this big group in an excellent manner. He made sure we (tourists from different countries/ speak different languages) moved in the same phase, travelled on the same carriage (or at least carriage next) and knew all short cut ways to reduce the waiting time. This, we have more time at the glacier and perform all activities promised (Glacier walk, Ice palace, Lunch and toilet breaks) ! He ensured everyone has the best spots for photos and helped in taking…”

“I traveled with my wife to visit the we visit the Jungfraujoch, was really amazing!, we were in love of the mountain, the views and the story of the place.”
Zurich to the Bernese Oberland by coach and train, with classic Alpine views from Kleine Scheidegg and close-up Eiger North Face moments.
“The scenery was amazing and the bus driver was great. The guide, Kid was obnoxious, rude and very disorganized. His idea of humor was making fun of people. He insulted a man in front of his family and also made an ethnic slur towards him. Unacceptable! The tour is worth taking if you can avoid having Kid as your guide. Otherwise, skip.”
Zurich to Jungfraujoch day trip with cogwheel train, Ice Palace, Alpine Sensation, and Sphinx Observatory views, plus Eiger Express cable car.
“This was the most incredible trip. We had been in Zurich for 6 days and this was absolutely the highlight. Our guide, Hans, was very helpful and kept everything running smoothly. The train journeys to Jungfraujoch were very scenic and just kept getting better the higher the train climbed. Once we were at the sphinx observatory there was thick cloud so we weren’t able to see the views at first however the tour allows for 3 hours at the top so by the end of our visit we could see the views perfectly and could barely drag ourselves away as they were so unbelievably beautiful. We had had such a…”

“Excellent Value for Money The Tour Guide Mr. Marcel was Simply the Best. A Must do Tour”
Guided day trip from Lucerne to Jungfraujoch via Eiger Express and cogwheel trains, with Ice Palace and glacier views, plus return.
“This is a full day tour to the very busy and highly touristy Jungfraujoch. I highly recommend taking a tour, this one especially, to get you to the top. There are so many steps and it’s so much easier to follow the group than to get there on your own. We took one route up and a different route down to see different sites, which we appreciated. This tour was fully sold out and every single seat on the bus, train, cable car, etc. was occupied - if you are looking for something smaller and intimate, this is not the tour, but you have free time in Interlaken (50 min)…”
Full-day coach and rack railway from Lucerne to Kleine Scheidegg for close Eiger and Jungfrau views, plus Interlaken and Grindelwald.
“This excellent trip is highly recommended. Our tour guide was an expert on the area and was concerned for our comfort especially when all members of our group decided to pay the supplement and head to the Top of Europe. We were hoping for good weather to view the massive glacier but experienced a blizzard instead much to the delight of visitors from sunny countries. The valley is absolutely beautiful and the views stunning... don't miss it!!”
