Bernese Oberland, Jungfraujoch Swiss Alps Day Tour From Zurich
Don (or pack) your snow gear, then greet your guide and group in the morning in a central Zurich location. Climb aboard a comfortable coach destined for Grindelwald. Receive an introduction to the Bernese Oberland region as you travel through the beautiful countryside then refresh during a brief interlude in Interlaken. Travel onward to Grindelwald to board a gondola for a ride to the Eiger Glacier station, where you change for the cogwheel train. Marvel at dramatic mountain scenery during the ride up to Jungfraujoch. As you admire the jagged peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains on the horizon, it’s easy to see why the area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On arrival at the station, an impressive 11,332 feet (3,454 meters) above sea level, gaze at the Alpine wonderland around you, and then ascend to the Sphinx Observatory for even more magnificent panoramas. Try to spot the Aletsch Glacier, the Alps’ longest glacier, amid the craggy peaks, then enter the frozen tunnels of the Ice Palace and admire works of art carved from solid ice. You may opt to enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants at the summit (own expense) before boarding the train for the journey to Lauterbrunnen, where your coach awaits. Relax during the journey back to Zurich, where your tour concludes.
