It is a very popular site in Swiss and a bit pricey, but the view on the top is spectacular. You have to make sure it is a good clear day, otherwise it might be a waste of money. Always check the weather before you decide to take the trains going up there. We went in mid May and it... More

I went there on a clear day from Interlaken via train. It was a long journey but very well worth the effort. The views are spectacular and I got sunburnt! It was my first experience of the European Alps and did give me the bug so to speak. There are other great places to visit in Europe re the Alps... More

This is a wonderful attraction and while it is expensive, the trip will certainly clarify why the price is what it is taking into consideration the cost to maintain the infastructure. Views and air are breathtaking but make sure you check with the locals as to weather conditions before you go. More

We put our car on the shuttle train in Kandersteg Switzerland and the experience was unforgettable. To start, the cost to shuttle our small car was reasonable. The ride? Well, we happened to ride on one of the first cars on the trains, and we encountered some "mild turbulence" our first trip. Our rental car shook violently enough to cause... More

We had heard that taking the train up to the Jungfrau observation deck was a must do. And very likely that's true… When the weather is good for visibility. My family and I went when there was a lot of fog and the visibility at the top of the mountain was Nil. And be careful, because the valley might be... More

Jungfrau is gorgeous if you can see it through the mist and fog. I think the Rockies in Canada and Colorado, Sierra Nevada mountains are just as breathtaking without putting up with the snobbish and uptight Swiss. Can we ever know the Swiss mentality or are they always as cold as their weather and as xenophobic as their geography makes... More
