Most memorable experience in the Swiss alps ever!! And I lived in CH for 4 years!
Easy to buy a ticket from headout.
Everything went smooth and perfect! Worth the money , spectacular views.
Loved loved looooovvveeeeed everything about this experience! Getting a ticket was eazy. Keep in mind it takes a lot of time to travel in switserland. I had a hotel on Chur and it took me more than two hours of driving with my car to get to grindelwald. Just a little advice for somebody who makes a reservation at the very last moment ;) you also get a lot of information so it's best to use the app and take some screenshots. Yes it is pricey but the view from "on top of europe" was priceless. (Haha ;)) to be honest I think I could enjoy this experience a bit more if it wasn't so much crowded. Some people call it a tourist trap... I'd rather call it a lazy way to get on top ;) the views were spectacular and surely worth my money
It would have been great. If you had known that there was no time commitment. The information was completely missing. The Eigerbahn and Jungfrauenjochbahn ran every half hour so you didn't have to be there on time at 12:45. That makes a big difference if you have a journey of almost 3 hours.

I was thrilled by the breathtaking view. But there were just too many people there. But it's worth the experience.

Our visit to Jungfraujoch was absolutely unforgettable! From the breathtaking train journey through the stunning Swiss Alps to the incredible views at the "Top of Europe," every moment felt magical. The snow-covered peaks, the Ice Palace, and the panoramic vistas from the Sphinx Observatory were simply awe-inspiring. Everything was very well organized, and the facilities were excellent despite the altitude. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Jungfraujoch truly exceeded our expectations — a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Switzerland!
The beauty of the scenery, the organization of the trip, the experience of the Jungfrau

We head a great experience in this trip. Very informative and well coordinated.
The tour was pleasant, but what was advertised was a panoramic train ride and that didn't happen. We used an ordinary train from Grindelwald to Interlaken, where some people were left standing. On arrival at the station in Interkaken, the route was long and people were not given a map to get back to the bus parking lot. This caused a lot of stress.

Fantastic experience overall! The hospitality of the hosts (Ambi, Manuel) was lovely along with everything that came with this! I'd definitely recommend this!
Cable cart and restaurant on the top of mountain
Official Name: Grindelwald-First
Address: 3818 Grindelwald, Switzerland
No: of visitors per year: 500,000 +
Function: Tourist destination known for winter adventure and sports
The First Railway takes you on a gondola ride that offers scenic views of the magnificent mountain village of Grindelwald. Enjoy the visual treat as you go up a mountain in a cable car, with green pastures below, blue skies above and snow-capped mountains around.
Spread your arms and experience flying like an eagle at an altitude of over 2,000 meters with the First Glider. The ride takes up to four people on a 15-minute long gliding flight over the mountainous landscapes at a speed of 72 - 83 km/hr.
‘Sledging on wheels’ is the idea behind Gridelwald’s First Mountain Cart. This all-terrain mountain rider is the perfect combination of a go-kart and a sled. It is specially designed with a low center of gravity to ensure the rider’s safety and comfort, along the 3 Km natural road from Schreckfeld to Bort.
First Flyer, a variant of the Flying Fox, is a seated zipline that goes from First to Shreckfeld. The 800-meter-long cable ride lets you safely, comfortably, and freely whiz away at a speed of 84 km/hr. You can feel the wind and enjoy the breathtaking views as you fly your way down.
As the name suggests, the Trottibike Scooter is a cross between a scooter and a bike, that gives you the best experiences of both worlds. Just step onto the footboard and roll along from Bort to Grindelwald, enjoying the views of the meadows and farmhouses. The attraction also offers Mini-Trottibikes for children.
Lake Bachalpsee, known as the ‘Blue Jewel of the Alps’ is less than an hour’s trek away from the First mountain station. The trek is well worth it, as the reflections of Schreckhorn painted on the waters of the lake is a sight no photo can truly capture in all its beauty.
Admire the beautiful landscape of the Alps as you ride on a bike from First to Grindelwald. Experience riding down an altitude of around 1,100 meters, along a variety of different terrains, stopping as you please to smell the flowers. A train and a gondola can help you and your bike get to the starting point on top, respectively.
Amidst the high mountains, is a fun play area for the tiny tots. The Bort Alpine Playground is designed to be a little adventure for kids, complete with slides, swings, nets, ropes, rockers, and climbers. The 700-square-meter park also features a mountain stream.
The perfect adventure for adrenaline seekers at Grindelwald comes in the form of a cliff walk at a height of almost 2,200 meters. Walk on a 40-meter-long, one-rope suspension bridge and stand on a cantilevered platform amidst the stunning alpine landscape, for a feeling like no other. The surrounding forests, snow-covered mountains, and waterfall are sure to keep you mesmerized through the walk.
