Jungfraujoch, situated at an elevation of 3,454 meters above sea level, promises a mountain experience that exceeds all expectations and stands apart from any other mountain excursion.
Starting from your hotel in Bern (departing city can be customized), AlpExcursion's amiable driver-guide will lead you on an awe-inspiring journey, with every moment filled with breathtaking scenery, until you arrive in Grindelwald. This village embodies the authentic Swiss image with its chalet-style wooden houses and an abundance of charming restaurants.
From this idyllic location, you will embark on a cogwheel train ride that will transport you to the Top of Europe, Jungfraujoch.
Today, Jungfraujoch boasts the highest railway station in all of Europe, a distinction recognized by UNESCO as a "World Heritage Site" where perpetual snow and ice can be found.
The one-and-a-half-hour journey to the summit is enveloped in stunning panoramic landscapes. Along the way, there will be a brief stop of 5 minutes at Eismeer (Sea of Ice) before continuing the ascent.
Upon arrival, you will be presented with a selection of entertaining activities to enjoy. Explore the Ice Palace, home to lifelike ice sculptures of eagles, penguins, and bears, creating the illusion that they have frozen in time.
Another remarkable feature is the Sphinx Tower, one of the tallest observatories in the world, allowing you to take in a 360-degree view and capture images of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau Mountains.
Between the Sphinx Hall and Ice Palace, you'll encounter the Alpine Sensation, which is bound to send shivers down your spine. The reason lies not only in the frosty temperatures but also in the history of sacrifices made by miners to fashion this eternal winter wonderland that we relish today.
After the exploration, you can savor a delicious local dish at one of the panoramic restaurants at the summit or immerse yourself in the world of exquisite Swiss chocolate at the Lindt shop.
The descent offers a different flavor, bringing you to the charming Swiss town of Lauterbrunnen, renowned for its 72 enchanting waterfalls and vibrant Alpine meadows.
Take a leisurely stroll through the village to admire its unspoiled natural beauty. Lauterbrunnen offers a wealth of attractions, including historical landmarks, natural wonders, and thrilling activities.
Packed with unforgettable moments and snapshots of Switzerland's most iconic tourist destinations, AlpExcursion ensures a seamless return to your initial meeting point in Bern.
