This place is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S… you’re catching your breath every time you glance over at the backdrop of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel so tiny and human!

5 Things to do in the jugfrau region 💡

One

‘The Top of Europe’ sits at a 3454m altitude and has a panoramic view of the Aletch Glacier - it is breathtaking. You jump on the train at The Eigergletscher and go through the mountains (our driver even let Tudor sit up front and help drive!)

There’s a cute cafe overlooking the glacier for lunch and it’s a gorgeous spot for taking in all that Jungfrau has to offer.

Two

The Eiger Express - the most modern tri-cable gondola that takes you from the Grindenwold terminal to very top at The Eigergletscher in 15 minutes. This gondola is huge and even has space in the floor for your skis!
