Admire sweeping mountain vistas as your knowledgeable guide offers fascinating commentary on the region’s rich history, and then arrive in the spectacular Jungfraujoch region.
Enjoy a brief interlude in Interlaken, a charming town located between two lakes, and then travel onward to Grindelwald to board a cogwheel train to Kleine Scheidegg, a spectacular mountain pass that affords stunning Alpine vistas. Capture photographs of the iconic triple peaks, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, as you climb halfway to the 11,750-foot (3,454-meter) to the summit.

Enjoy amazing views of the famous triple peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as you ride halfway up the mountain.
The top of the mountain reaches an astounding 11,750 feet (3,454 meters) above sea level. Ideal for those who are afraid of heights, this tour only takes you halfway up, to 6,762 feet (2,061 meters). But don’t worry, this won’t compromise the scenery; from Kleine Scheidegg, you’ll be treated to sweeping vistas of the Bernese Alps and unbeatable views of the famous Eiger North Face, featured in films such as The Eiger Sanction starring Clint Eastwood.
You’ll have several hours of free time here to explore and take in the sensational Alpine environment. This area offers something for everyone: take a self-guided hike along the easily accessible Jungfrau Eiger Walk (several seasonal trails of moderate difficulty open late June to October); snap photos of the rock and ice masses of Eiger Glacier; or head to one of several local restaurants to enjoy some regional cuisine (own expense).
In the afternoon, meet your guide and board the train for the descent to Lauterbrunnen.
