Description

Discover Jungfraujoch, the iconic “Top of Europe,” where an extraordinary alpine railway carries you through majestic mountain landscapes to Europe’s highest railway station.

Your private experience begins in Zurich, where your private driver with local expertise welcomes you at your hotel and escorts you on a scenic drive through the Swiss countryside to the alpine village of Grindelwald.

From Grindelwald, your ascent into the high Alps begins aboard the modern Eiger Express cable car, gliding above dramatic landscapes toward Eigergletscher station. There, you will board the historic Jungfrau Railway, an engineering masterpiece inaugurated in 1912 after 16 years of construction. The cogwheel train tunnels through the legendary Eiger and Mönch mountains before arriving at Europe’s highest railway station at 3,454 meters.

At the summit, a breathtaking world of snow and ice unfolds before you. From the observation terrace, admire the magnificent Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps, stretching endlessly into the horizon. Explore the fascinating Ice Palace, where intricate sculptures shimmer within tunnels carved deep inside the glacier, and experience the crisp alpine air in a setting unlike anywhere else in Europe.

After your time at the Top of Europe, descend by train through spectacular alpine scenery toward the postcard-perfect valley of Lauterbrunnen, where your private driver will be waiting upon arrival.

Enjoy free time to explore Lauterbrunnen, a charming alpine village nestled between towering vertical cliffs and over 70 cascading waterfalls. Often described as one of the most beautiful valleys in Switzerland, the Lauterbrunnen Valley inspired poets and travelers alike with its dramatic natural setting.

Following your visit, relax during your comfortable private transfer back to Zurich, concluding an unforgettable journey to the Top of Europe, a true masterpiece of Swiss nature and engineering.
