Jungfraujoch: The 15 Best Ways to the Top of Europe

31 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.4 average  ·  from $189

The highest railway station in Europe, and the most expensive ticket in this catalogue. These 15 compare the routes — direct from Interlaken, the long coach day out of Zurich or Lucerne, the pass options — on price, total hours and what you actually get at 3,454 metres. Bad weather does not cancel the train and does not refund the fare, so read the flexibility terms before you pay.

“Our guides Weili and Annette were amazing! We went on such a great day with beautiful weather. We had an hour stop at Interlaken to look around and explore and enjoy the views of the mountains. Awesome view of the alps (check out the pictures!). Ice palace was really cool! Being up at such a high altitude was an experience. We had a bus ride, cable car ride, and train ride on the way up. On the way back we had a train ride and bus ride. Tour started at 8am in Zurich and we were back in Zurich for around 830am. Long day but absolutely worth it!! Stunning and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 840 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $366

Ride the rails to Jungfraujoch from Lucerne for panoramic alpine views, the Ice Palace, and the Sphinx Observatory, with guided transport.

“Stunning scenery from the moment we left Lucerne until we reached the summit of Jungfrau, and then again all the way back. Our guide, Kid, was magnificent. He guided us through the various buses, trains, cog wheels, the site itself, and everything in between. He made sure we were aware of all of the picturesque locations and even took many pictures for us and of us. He did all this while being amazingly funny and energetic for the entire 8-9 hours. I cannot imaging being able to pull this off as successfully without his guidance. He is THE BEST.”

“Great day where you get to see many parts of Switzerland. They take you through Interlaken where you have an hour to walk around and explore. You get to pass through different towns on the way back from the Top of Europe. Absolutely beautiful day and I felt like we got a good amount of time to explore a few locations on our own. Train timings were perfect and would’ve been very difficult without a guide. Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely fantastic pass, we used it so much and got around everywhere which was amazing since how beautiful Switzerland is, especially the jungfrau region. The transport system so efficient and clean, never late. And thanks to this pass, my husband received a 10% discount on a beautiful Tissot watch that he bought me whilst we were here. We would definitely recommend paying the little extra on visiting the jungfraujoch which we received another 30% with this pass.”

Zurich day trip to Kleine Scheidegg by the Wengernalp railway, close Eiger North Face views, plus Interlaken and Grindelwald.

“Overall, the tour was OK. The tour guide was pretty rude from the beginning. You have an opportunity to see views of the many lakes that are surrounding the Alps, but unless you are sitting on the right side of the bus and able to snap pictures within 5 seconds while the bus is speeding through, you will not be able to capture it. There is no option to capture it on the return trip because it is after dark. The tour company should consider at least a 10-15 minute stop to allow for tourists to take photos of the lake and mountains. If you are opting to do this…”

“Not worth the cost at all, for the price they charge. They don't even give you complimentary water, much less lunch. You make stops and don't give you much time in places to do any kind of shopping or browsing. What are you really paying for. Mount Titlis is a much better tour.”
