Through the heart of the Bernese Oberland

Depart from Interlaken and travel through one of Switzerland's most celebrated alpine regions. The route passes traditional chalet villages, rolling meadows, mountain streams, and sweeping valley views, offering a glimpse of the landscapes that have made the Bernese Oberland world-famous.

From valley floor to mountain gateway

As the train approaches Grindelwald, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. Towering peaks begin to dominate the horizon, while the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau gradually reveal themselves above forests, pastures, and alpine settlements.

The Eiger Express ascent

Board the state-of-the-art Eiger Express, one of the most modern tricable gondolas in the Alps. In just 15 minutes, it climbs more than 1,300m, carrying you above forests, cliffs, and mountain slopes while offering uninterrupted views of the legendary Eiger North Face and surrounding peaks.

A journey aboard the Jungfrau Railway

Continue on the historic Jungfrau Railway, an engineering masterpiece that has been carrying visitors into the high Alps since 1912. The cogwheel train travels through tunnels carved deep within the Eiger and Mönch mountains before emerging at Europe's highest railway station.

Arrival at the Top of Europe

At 3,454m above sea level, Jungfraujoch offers access to the Sphinx Observatory, Ice Palace, Alpine Sensation, and Glacier Plateau. From here, admire sweeping views of the UNESCO-listed Aletsch Glacier and a panorama of snow-covered Alpine peaks stretching into the distance.
