The day trip from Interlaken to the top of Europe is an experience not to be missed. The day is orchestrated easily and is the view from the top is breathtaking. The rail trip there and back is also a scenic delight. more

Yes, it's expensive and well-developed for tourists. But where else in Europe do you get a long train ride inside a mountain, get to look out of one of the most famous mountain faces in the world (the north face of the Eiger), get to look down on huge glaciers, eat a meal in a nice restaurant at 11,000 feet,... more

My friend had been up the Jungfraujoch the week before and told us how warm it was, she was in short sleeves, etc. When we go there the temps were in the 30s and we would have been pretty sad without our coats! Try to go on a clear day when you will have the best views. If you want... more

I know people complain about how expensive the train fare is to go to Jungfraujoch. We have the swisspass card and was entitled for the 50% reduction. With that, we had to pay 110 swiss franc each for the round trip fare. It's already expensive. However, the experience to go there is uncomparable. It's the highest train station in Europe... more

We were very disappointed with this experience. Most of our Swiss trip was great, but this was the one day we could have spent differently. The train fare is way too expensive and the "Top of Europe" is one of the most over commercialized places I have ever visited. I would recommend skipping "Top of Europe" and only book the... more

Visiting Jungfraujoch "The Top of Europe" is an experience not to be missed. A pleasant train journey (with comfortable seats and an interesting video to watch) takes you from Kleine Scheigg (beautiful in itself) up through the mountains, into the Eiger. You stop twice on your way up, to aclimatise and take a look out of the viewing platforms. We... more

I have been to Jungfraujoch twice. In German, 'Jungfrau' means 'virgin' and 'joch' means 'pass'. For those who do not know the meaning of a 'pass', it is a place (like a saddle saddle) between 2 mountains that enables one to cross from one valley to another without having to go over a mountain. Many people have mistaken Jungfraujoch to... more

If this is the only visit to the Alps you ever do, it's all you'll need. The price of the ticket up to Jungfraujoch is pricey, but the views all the way up and back are well worth it, not to mention the views from the top of the mountain. The tram ride up can be crowded with skiers, especially... more

There is actually no place in Switzerland which I can describe as avoidable but looking back, Jungfarujoch is an experience which you will not forget in a lifetime. This is one of the highest peaks in the Swiss Alps and in Europe and particularly popular with Indians. Remember: Sunny Deol jumping off the observatory deck in the "Hero: The Love... more

I recently took my family to Grindelwald and at the hotel where we stayed we saw the leaflet for the Jungfraujoch. We looked it up on the free internet available there and the pictures of the place were outstanding. However, the leaflet was a little confusing about how to get there because it appeared to suggest that the train going... more
