Itinerary
Pass by: Board a coach at the central Zurich bus terminal and savor the scenery as you drive approx. 100 minutes south through Switzerland's beautiful Bernese Oberland to Interlaken.
Arrive in Interlaken and enjoy some limited time before boarding the bus again. Continue with a short drive to Lauterbrunnen.
In Lauterbrunnen you'll hop on a cogwheel Train for a ride up the Alps via the Kleine Scheidegg mountain pass.
Climb up, up, up, savoring views of the towering mountains around you, until you reach Jungfraujoch. You're officially at the highest train station in Europe, at an elevation of 11,333 feet (3,454 meters)! At the Top of Europe, experience a breathtaking panorama of the Swiss Alps enveloped in eternal snow and ice for approximately 3 hours.
Overlook the Aletsch Glacier (Europe's longest glacier) from the sweeping Sphinx Observatory and spot the snow-capped peaks of neighboring France and Italy beyond. Grab a drink or a bite to eat at the panoramic restaurant if you wish.
Walk through the heart of a glacier in the Ice Palace.
After your time at Jungfraujoch, ride the cogwheel train down to Eigergletscher, where you will change to the V-Cableway Eiger Express. After approx. 15 minutes you will reach Grindelwald Terminal, where the coach awaits for the drive back to Zurich.

Traveler reviews
Great Experience, Spectacular Views
This is an all-day excursion from Zurich. It was absolutely amazing! We had a great, fun guide - shout out to Kid! - who took great care of the group on the tour. He gave a great narration and pointed out all the interesting sites along the way. Jungfraujoch was spectacular! Word of warning: dress appropriately and in layers. We went in the first week of May and it was freezing cold in the ice tunnel and out on the glacier. The views of the Swiss Alps, especially from the top, were spectacular! Highly recommended and one of the best experiences we’ve had in all our travels.
We had Kid as our tour...
We had Kid as our tour guide. We only had 5 other people with us so Kid was able to provide incredible attention to us. He is very energetic and takes pictures for you of incredible views. Interlaken was fun watching the paragliders land, Lauterbrunnen was where we caught the train up to the Top or Europe Jungfraujoch.....spectacular views. Ice Palace ....we were blessed with incredible weather. Highly recommend this tour and Kid as your tour guide.

Amazing Mountain Trip
It’s a full day trip from Zurich and quite a memorable experience. We got the best experience thanks to Rayman (our guide) who ensured we have the best spots, best pictures and he was always calm. Top of the mountain and the train rides were amazing. A big thank you Rayman and the team.

Breathtaking views of the alps. Unique experiences being on, in, and overlooking a glacier. The guide was kept everything on schedule and made sure we saw all of the highlights.
