From Zurich: Jungfraujoch Day Trip with Train Ride｜Switzerland

Meet your driver at your hotel or a central meeting point in Zurich and begin your scenic drive through the Swiss countryside toward the Bernese Oberland region. The route offers views of rolling hills, traditional villages, and distant alpine peaks.

Arrive in Interlaken, beautifully located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Enjoy a short photo stop and free time to admire the town’s alpine setting and capture views of the Jungfrau massif.

From Interlaken Ost station, board the famous cogwheel railway journey toward Jungfraujoch. The route passes through Lauterbrunnen Valley or Grindelwald, depending on the selected route, and Kleine Scheidegg, where trains change for the final ascent through tunnels carved inside the Eiger mountain.

Arrive at Europe’s highest railway station and step into a world of snow and ice. Enjoy free time to explore the summit complex and its highlights, including the Sphinx Observatory, one of the highest observatories in the world, offering panoramic views over the Aletsch Glacier and surrounding 4,000-meter peaks.

Visit the Ice Palace, a network of tunnels carved inside the glacier featuring impressive ice sculptures and frozen corridors. Walk out onto the snow-covered plateau for unforgettable alpine views and photos.

Begin your return journey by cogwheel train, descending through dramatic mountain scenery. Many itineraries use a circular route—ascending via one valley and descending via the other—allowing you to experience both Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen landscapes in a single day.

Reconnect with your vehicle in Interlaken and begin the drive back to Zurich through the Bernese Oberland and central Switzerland.
