Itinerary
Your tour begins at Bus Parking Landenberg
Meet your guide near the Lucerne Train Station and step onto a comfortable coach with your voucher and government-issued ID ready. After check-in, sink into your seat as the lakefront slips away and the Alps start to rise ahead.
Drive through the Brünig Pass to the Bernese Oberland County
Glide south by coach past Lake Brienz and storybook style villages. As the road threads into valleys and cliffs, listen as your guide shares insights regarind the altitude, the rail engineering, and the glacier views waiting at the top.
Pause in Interlaken village between two alpine lakes
Arrive in Interlaken, tucked between Lakes Thun and Brienz, to breathe in the mountain air. Stretch, refuel, and soak up the gorgeous peak views in every direction, then regroup for the remaining cableway climb toward Grindelwald and the Eiger massif.
Board the Eiger Express aerial cableway from Grindelwald Terminal
Lift off on the Eiger Express aerial cableway and float toward the Eiger Glacier as forests fall away into rock and snow. When you step out, the air bites a little colder and the landscape turns unmistakably high Alpine.
Take the Jungfrau cogwheel train from Eigergletscher Station
Switch from gondola cabins to the historic cogwheel train that climbs through tunnels carved into the mountain. During the journey upward, your guide shares the history of how Jungfraujoch became one of Europe’s most dramatic railways.
Explore Jungfraujoch’s summit attractions at your own pace
Finally, arrive at the “Top of Europe” and wander between the Sphinx Observation Terrace and Plateau to drink in Aletsch Glacier panoramas. Then step into the Ice Palace tunnels and stroll through the Alpine Sensation exhibits as conditions allow.
Descend via Lauterbrunnen with nonstop valley views
After your time at the top, begin your descent by rail and watch the scenery unfurl into steep slopes, car-free villages, and the famous Lauterbrunnen Valley. Keep looking up as the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shadow the route.
Your tour ends at Bus Parking Landenberg
Roll back into Lucerne near the train station where you began. You’ll finish the tour with glacier-bright photos, wind-cooled cheeks, and the rare feeling of having truly touched the high Alps.
