Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Sihlquai, Sihlstrasse 41, 8005 Zürich, Switzerland

Head to the Sihlquai Bus Terminal near the Zurich train station in the morning to meet your guide — who speaks English and Spanish — and board your luxury coach.

Stop At: Bahnhofstrasse 25/5 3800, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland

Relax on the scenic drive through the Bernese Oberland, touted as one of the most idyllic regions in Switzerland.

After a 2-hour drive, arrive in Interlaken in the heart of the Jungfraujoch region. Break here for a quick stop in this famous town, situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.

Duration: 50 minutes

Pass By: Grund Railway Station, Grundstrasse 61, 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland

Then, continue driving to the nearby village of Grindelwald. Board the cogwheel train here for a jaw-dropping ride to Kleine Scheidegg, a mountain pass located at the foot of Switzerland’s most impressive Alpine panorama.

Stop At: Kleine Scheidegg, Berner Oberland Switzerland

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.

Duration: 4 hours

Pass By: Sihlquai, Sihlstrasse 41, 8005 Zürich, Switzerland

Pass the holiday resort town of Wengen, known for events such as the Lauberhorn Races and Jungfrau Marathon. Then board the coach and return to Zurich in the evening.

The views are stunning! One thing to note is that you can do the trip yourself by buying the train tickets, but you miss the english/spanish guide. Another thing is that the majority of the group went to the top Jungfraujoch, which is double the price, with only me and 2 other tourists that stayed half way through the top at Kleine Schedegg. I could enjoy the 4hr wait by taking pictures and skiing, but not everyone will be happy with this since the options you have are limited, skiing, hiking or waiting.

We enjoyed a full day on this tour leaving out of Zurich. The bus ride was comfortable and the stops along the way were nice breaks before boarding a cog train to Kleine Scheidegg. Our guide was helpful but not overbearing. We opted to hike up 1000 meters and really enjoyed being in high altitude and cool temperatures. The train town was small but had a restaurant and gifts shops. While many others went to the top, we were glad after talking to others that we had the chance to hike and not just view the scenery. We really enjoyed our trip and it was worth the time and money. Great memory!
