Step by Step

Head to Sihlquai Bus Station near Zurich train station in the morning to meet your multilingual guide and board your comfortable coach. Then, relax on the scenic drive through the Bernese Oberland countryside.
A scenic coach journey through splendid countryside takes you to the Bernese Oberland. After a short break in Interlaken, a picturesque village nestled idyllically between Lakes Brienz and Thun, you continue to Grindelwald.
In Grindelwald you board the gondola Eiger Express of the newly opened V-Cableway for a spectacular ride to the Eiger Glacier station, where you change to the cogwheel train to Jungfraujoch. Stunning views of the world-famous triple peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau accompany you on the way and the imposing Eiger North Face seems to be within one’s grasp.
Once on the top, immerse yourself in the fascinating high alpine wonderland of eternal ice, snow and rock. Experience the discovery tour “Alpine Sensation” marking the 100-year anniversary of the Jungfrau Railway.
Visit the Sphinx Observation Terrace and Plateau with the most breath-taking panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, the neighbouring countries and the longest glacier of the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier.
Don't forget to stroll through the tunnels of the Ice Palace located in the heart of the glacier – a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed!
After your Top of Europe adventure, board the cogwheel train for your descent down the mountains. Pass the holiday resort town of Wengen before arriving in Lauterbrunnen, where the coach awaits you for the return trip to Zurich.
The coach takes you back to Zurich, where your tour started in the morning.

    Well timed and organized trip. The views were worth the time spent in transit. Our guide, Fernando, was professional, helpful and informative. We were happy with the trip and the logistics involved would have been tough to coordinate on our own.

    We left from Zurich and picked others groups up along the way. The sights and learning about the history of Switzerland and its different cantons was great! Highly recommend the highest coffee shop in Interlocken. Being on top of the mountain was also fun. But the altitude did hit some of our party pretty hard so we went at a steady pace. So, just be sure to stay hydrated and not over overexert yourself.

    Everything was absolutely stunning. Great way to see the beauty of the Swiss Alps. Driver was excellent (felt safe), guide was nice and I liked her direct instructions to the tourists on meeting time expectations. Only negative are the food options once you get to the top. Food was awful + expensive. Highly recommend taking a snack or eating well prior to the long trip. Would be nice if the tour included a stop at a nice restaurant, considering the length of the trip and the price.
