Season 2025: January 1 - October 11 & December 1 - December 31

As a sole proprietor with a capacity of one tour per day, I can be fully booked far in advance.

Jungfrau region tour from Interlaken

This tour is ideal for you if you want to skip the expensive journey to the busy tourist hotspot Jungfraujoch, and have more time to discover the beautiful Jungfrau region instead.

We can visit more villages and spend there more time, while we still traversing over the Kleine Scheidegg mountain pass to Eigergletscher from where we take a cable car down to Grindelwald.

The only part that we are skipping compared to the Jungfraujoch tour is the half-hour trip inside a tunnel to the Jungfraujoch peak.

We travel to Lauterbrunnen, from where we take a postbus to Stechelberg.

There we take a ride on the world's steepest cable car to the idyllic village of Mürren, known for its magnificent alpine views and is completely car-free, offering a tranquil environment without traffic noise. The village is perched on a shelf of Alpine rocks and pasture, providing a balcony-like view of the steep cliffs and waterfalls of the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

After a walk through Mürren we continue our journey and take a mountain railway and cable car which bring us back to Lauterbrunnen.

With a height of 297 meters (974 ft.), it's one of the highest free-falling waterfalls in Europe.

Afterward we start our ascent up to the Kleine Scheidegg mountain pass.

At the height of the Kleine Scheidegg pass we can stop again for 30 minutes or an hour. On a day with good visibility you have from here a stunning view of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. This trio is also called the Swiss Skyline.

We continue for another five minutes up to the train station of Eigergletscher (Eiger glacier)

For the descent we are using the new Eiger Express cable car, which will bring us in a scenic 20-minute ride along the Eiger north face, from Eigergletscher to Grindelwald.

If a member of your party has a fear of heights or doesn’t like traveling on aerial cable cars, we can skip the visit to Mürren and descend to Grindelwald by train.

Weather forecast

Once a reliable weather forecast is available (usually one to three days before departure), I will send you a link to the forecast.

If there is bad weather forecasted, I will include my recommendations for our tour day.

I use the weather forecasts provided by the Federal Office of Meteorology and SRF (Swiss Radio and Television).

With the link below, you can check the weather forecast at any time by yourself. The forecast is available for the next five days.

Operability

This tour can run in any weather condition except during a storm. During a storm, aerial cableways have to halt operations for safety reasons. If there is a storm with gale-force winds in the forecast, I need to cancel the tour. On rare occasions, there may be a cancellation due to landslides, avalanches, and other natural forces or the risk thereof. I will fully refund the deposit in this case.

Your options in case of bad weather (tour specific)

You can cancel the booking at any time before departure; however, the deposit of CHF 50 per person is non-refundable.

This itinerary is only an example. The schedule can vary due to various factors such as the season, the day of the week, construction work, service, and schedule changes.
