Guided Zurich day trip to Jungfraujoch: bus scenic ride, Eiger Express gondola, cogwheel train, Sphinx terrace, Ice Palace, return by train.

“Our trip to Jungfraujoch was absolutely breathtaking—hands down more impressive than Mt. Titlis. The panoramic views from the Top of Europe were stunning, and we especially loved the sledging experience, which added a fun and adventurous touch to the day. One thing to note: food at the summit is quite expensive. We recommend grabbing some snacks or a light meal from the Coop supermarket located near the base station before taking the cable car up.

“Jungfraujoch was one of the 4 mountains we visited on this trip to Lucerne. Fernando/Francisco did an excellent job herding all of us as it was a long day. Due to the clouds and trace amounts of snow (which was awesome), there weren't any views to be had; but the experience was so amazing that it more than made up for it. The train down (including the views of Lauterbrunnen) was a real treat. Walking on the glacier (at the top) while it was lightly snowing was a one-of-a-kind moment.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 47 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $434

From Zurich by coach to Jungfraujoch Top of Europe via Interlaken, Eiger Express gondola, Sphinx views, and the Ice Palace.

“This was one of the most beautiful places we have visited. The bus ride to get there was a bit long but comfortable and scenic. Once there, we had enough time to visit most of the main parts of the place. There was only one that would have taken an hour to get to and another hour back, so we were recommended to skip that. We got to do everything else and did not feel super rushed. Being at the top of that snowy mountain was a memorable experience!”
