Itinerary
Your guide will meet you at the train station as you head to Jungfraujoch through Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg.
Overlook the charming little town of Grindelwald as you elevate on the Eiger Express to the Eiger Glacier Station
As we head along the Jungfrau line through Zweilütschinen, Grindelwald 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 metres 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, discovering the many ice sculptures and frosty vistas dotted around the area.
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.
At the end of your tour, your guide will return you safely to Interlaken.

This tour was fabulous. Do not miss. Going to the top of Europe is a must see. Our tour guide, Leighton was excellent. He made sure that we were all taken care of and was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Also, I cannot say enough about tours of Switzerland. From transportation throughout Switzerland to setting up tours in each place, they were prompt, reliable, and gave unbelievable private tours.I cannot recommend these guides in the company enough.
