Itinerary
Ride the train along Lake Thun to Interlaken, the gateway to the Jungfrau region, where you change to the mountain line that climbs up to Grindelwald.
Grindelwald is a classic alpine village set beneath the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. At the Grindelwald Terminal, you board the Eiger Express gondola for the ride up toward the glacier.
Ride the Eiger Express, a modern alpine gondola, high above the Grindelwald valley. In about 20 minutes it carries you up to the Eigergletscher station at 2,320 meters, with wide views of the valley falling away below and the Eiger's north face.
Stand at the foot of the Eiger at the Eigergletscher station, with its famous north wall and with the Mönch and Jungfrau mountains. There is time to take in the glacier and the peaks, and to enjoy lunch at an authentic Swiss restaurant with the mountains in view.
Descend into the Lauterbrunnen Valley, a deep glacial valley of cliffs and waterfalls. There is time to explore the iconic village before the train home.
The train carries you back out of the Bernese Oberland and through the Swiss countryside to Zurich, where your tour guide will return you comfortably to your hotel.

About Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.
The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
