Jungfrau Centenary
(2 Nights/3 Days)
Interlaken – Jungfrau Centenary
Itinerary
Day 1 :
Arrival in Interlaken by train 2nd class from the Swiss border or airport. Interlaken is situated between the Lakes of Thun and Brienz
and at the foot the famous trio of peaks, the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland. Your Jungfrau Centenary Pass
offers you on 3 consecutive days unlimited travel on the entire Jungfrau Railways Network. After check-in into your hotel we recommend
an excursion i.e. with the Harder Funicular. It takes just 8 minutes to travel by funicular from Interlaken to the Harder Kulm, Interlaken’s
home mountain, where the restaurant, at 1322 metres above sea level, is reminiscent of a small castle. Overnight in Interlaken.
Day 2 :
Today we recommend the journey to the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe, at 3454 metres Europe’s highest altitude railway station, is a highlight
of every visit to Switzerland. It offers visitors a high-Alpine wonderworld of ice, snow and rock, which can be marvelled at from vantage terraces
, the Aletsch Glacier or in the Ice Palace. The Jungfrau Railway takes you through the rock of the Eiger and Mönch and from two intermediate stations
you can enjoy stunning views to the Eiger Wall and the Sea of Ice. Overnight in Interlaken.
Day 3 :
We recommend an excursion to Grindelwald First combined with fun & action. It’s not possible to imagine anything more idyllic in the Swiss mountain world
than the area around Lake Bachalpsee. The snow-clad Alpine peaks are mirrored in its blue, crystal-clear waters. The First region is the starting point for hikes and also offers plenty of action: the First Flyer, scooter-bikes and biking guarantee an adrenaline rush and intoxicating speed. Children can get their kicks in the 700 m2 adventure playground close to the Bort intermediate station. Return to Swiss border or airport or continue your stay in Switzerland at your own request.
