This 12-hour day trip from Zurich travels into the Swiss Alps and the Bernese Oberland region to reach Jungfraujoch, one of Europe's highest mountain passes. The tour begins in the morning at Zurich’s Sihlquai Bus Station near the train station, where participants meet a professional multilingual guide and board an air-conditioned coach. The coach journey passes through the Bernese Oberland countryside, stopping for about 30 minutes in Interlaken, a town located between Lakes Brienz and Thun. After the break, the trip continues to Grindelwald Terminal. Here, travelers take the Eiger Express gondola to the Eiger Glacier station. From there, they transfer to a cogwheel train that climbs to Jungfraujoch. Along the ascent, views include the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks, with a close look at the Eiger North Face. At Jungfraujoch, guests spend approximately two hours exploring the alpine environment. Included are visits to the Alpine Sensation exhibition, which marks the 100-year anniversary of the Jungfrau Railway, the Ice Palace tunnels carved inside the glacier, and the Sphinx Observation Terrace and Plateau. These offer panoramic views of snow-covered mountains, neighboring countries, and the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps. After the time at Jungfraujoch, the group descends by cogwheel train, passing the resort town of Wengen before arriving at Lauterbrunnen. The coach then returns to Zurich, where the tour ends. The trip includes seat reservations and preferred boarding on the Eiger Express cable car and cogwheel trains, a fully guided tour, and carbon-balanced transport certified by myclimate. Food, drinks, gratuities, hotel transfers, and personal expenses are not included.
