Jungfrau Region - Bernese Oberland Switzerland
Imposing mountains, a plethora of leisure activities and a wide range of hotel offerings make the Jungfrau Region (including the resort towns Wengen, Mürren und Lauterbrunnen) a highly desirable vacation destination.
Switzerland's Jungfrau Region: Best of the Alps
© 2002 Rick Steves' Europe | If Heidi is alive, she's in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike, bike, blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe's highest railway up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and oh-wow views.

I flew down to Zürich and took a train to get into the mountains with Grindelwald being my first stop. The location of Grindelwald is very unique providing one of the most stunning panoramas in Switzerland as it faces the mountains of Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch. The ski area of Grindelwald-First offers some of the best views - especially from the breathtaking First Cliff Walk…but it is also a good spot to try the hearty Swiss cuisine before hitting the slopes again and finish it all off with some proper after ski drinks at the mountain huts or the Bus Stop bar.
From Grindelwald we took the Jungfraubahn train to the Jungfraujoch aka the „Top of Europe“ on 2571m where the highest railway station is located. The Jungfraujoch offers an outstanding view to the Aletsch glacier and the surrounding Alps from the viewing platform at the Sphinx observatory. But you can even go inside the glacier if you visit the ice palace underneath the building!
I finished this trip with a skiing day in the ski area of Hasliberg-Meiringen just a 2h picturesque train ride from Grindelwald.
As always feel free to leave more recommendations in the comment section below for future visitors of the Jungfrau Region as I only focussed on the highlights in this part of Switzerland.
Following I list all the places I visited & Things to do in the Jungfrau Region:
- Grindelwald-First
- First Cliff Walk
- Bergrestaurant First
- Bus Stop Bar Grindelwald
- Avocado Bar Grindelwald
- Barry’s Grindelwald
- Jungfraubahn from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch
- Jungfraujoch aka the Top of Europe
- Restaurant Crystal
- Sphinx Observatory
- Ice Palace Jungfraujoch
- Ski resort Hasliberg Meiringen

Jungfrau Switzerland Travel Guide - The Top of Europe
A travel guide for riding the train to the Jungfrau in Switzerland and exploring the Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe. The Jungfrau is one of Switzerland's most visited attractions, and is also home to Europe's highest elevation train station. It's an amazing place where you can see glaciers and snow all year round. I begin by giving you an overview of the Jungfrau region itself, then we ride to the Jungfrau on the train from Lauterbrunnen via Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg. Then I explore the various attractions at the top of the Jungfrau at the Jungfraujoch including the Sphinx Platform, the Ice Palace, and the various outside snow play areas. We'll even take a look at how expensive a cup of instant noodle is up here!
The Jungfrau summit is one of the most famous peaks in the Swiss Alps. It has an elevation of about 4000 meters or 13,000 feet. It used to be fairly difficult to access well, until 1912 when Switzerland built the world's highest elevation cogwheel railway which takes you up to about 11,000 feet. And once you're at the top, there's a lot of neat stuff to do.
The Jungfrau is a pricey attraction. It can be a hundred, to a hundred and fifty Swiss franks depending upon where you're coming from. But I think it's really worth it. A lot of people, including Rick Steves say it's too manufactured for them, but let me tell you, I enjoy this manufactured platform that I can view the amazing view from. Otherwise I'd have to be like an ice climber and climb up this mountain. Which I never would.
If you're coming to Switzerland the Jungfrau is a must see for the natural beauty and splendor. It is truly amazing. Most trips to the the Jungfrau will start at Interlaken Ost. It's a station at the bottom of the valley. There's a few different ways to work your way up to the top ultimately to the Jungfraujoch or the saddle that's in between the two mountains. In this video I'll be going up the way by Wengen. You can also go up via Grindelwald. And you can also make it a circle trip. You can go up one way and then down the other.
The beginning of the journey up to the Jungfrau, you take the cogwheel train. It'll come up from Lauterbrunnen, and it stops in Wengen. And then it goes up to the station where you take the main train to actually go up to the Jungfrau. This train is kinda cool because it's a cogwheel train. You can actually see there's a track in the middle of it that has all these spikes on it that has the wheel so this train can be really steep. And I'll tell you, the train is really loud. And what's interesting is, the windows you can actually put your hand outside you get fresh air coming in which is really great on a day when it's probably not too hot.
There's a really popular travel quote that says, It's not the destination. It's the journey. And this is one of those trips that it really is the journey. I mean the destination's cool, but the views on the journey are epic. So enjoy the views on the train ride. Have your camera at the ready.
The different facilities at the Jungfrau are connected via these underground tunnels. You come in and it's the restaurant complex. The tunnel will take you out to a lot of the outdoor activities. One of the coolest places at the Jungfrau is at the high climate altitude research station. This is the Sphinx Terrace. It's an altitude of 11,782 feet. From up here you can see snow and what looks like to be a big glacier, in this direction. You can see down into the valley where there's no snow. You can see the snow tubing and the snow hiking paths. I will say why you're up here be careful not to drop anything small because it's open grating and that is a long way down.

Walking in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland
Chief Adventure Officer at Macs Adventure, Neil Lapping, headed off hiking in the Bernese Oberland in 2013. View his video footage and commentary of his experience walking in the Bernese Oberland and Grindelwald
A Day Trip to Schilthorn in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland June 2015
We showed, it is possible to make a round trip to Schilthorn in the Bernese Oberland from Basel, provided you leave the latter at 6 am. It was worth the effort, the Swiss Alps visit was rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view of its summer wintry landscape in June. From Interlaken, we headed to Lauterbrunnen. Onward journey we took the Grutschalp, Murren way and by the final cable car to Schilthorn. On the return journey, from Murren, we took the cable car ride thru Gimmelwald and reached Stechelberg, finally by bus to Lauterbrunnen. Schilthorn or Piz Gloria, was made famous by the James Bond's movie, On Her Majesty's Service shot in 1968.

I spent a week stumbling around one of the most beautiful areas we have on this earth. This is a compilation of just some of the videos I have taken... the planet has so much to offer, too much for one lifetime.
Top of Europe, Jungfraujoch, Switzerland (May 20th, 2016)
Jungfraujoch, also called 'The Top of Europe', is the saddle between Mönch and Jungfrau two 4000+ meter mountains in the Swiss Bernese Alps. The sphinx observatory platform is one of the highest observatories and weather research station. I took the famous cogwheel train from Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch Railway Station, the highest railway station in Europe. Along the way, we switched trains in Kleine Scheidegg and had two stops, one in Eigerwand and one in Eismeer. Although they are raiwlay stations, they are really more stops along the way for a lookout since they are in the middle (literally inside) of the mountain tunnels. The summit is self explanatory and had a nice exhibit as well as the ice tunnel and few stores. Afterwards, the train back down to Lauterbrunnen was taken.
