Jungfrau Tours from Lucerne
Soaring above the Bernese Alps, the perennially snow-dusted Jungfrau is one of Switzerland’s most emblematic mountains. Forming the postcard backdrop to Interlaken and the Bernese Oberland, the Jungfrau and neighboring Eiger summit were famously inaccessible until the construction of the Jungfraujoch cog railway.
The mountain meadows are ablaze with Alpine wildflowers in spring and summer, when hiking, climbing and mountain biking attracts adrenaline junkies from around the world. For more restful recreation, the region is famous for its wellness retreats and pampering treatments at luxury spas. In winter it’s time to hit the slopes for cross-country skiing, wintertime hiking and tobogganing at heights of 4,000 meters (13,120 feet).
No trip to the region is complete with a journey aboard the Jungfraujoch cog railway, a unique way to get around these breathtakingly beautiful Alpine regions.

What a fantastic tour. We were lucky we had a great day and it was crystal clear all the way up the mountain. Fantastic Tour guide, Kid, who made the tour quiet enjoyable. Worth the money but would have been extremely disappointed if it was a few days before where they were unable to see the views or the mountains.Unfortuantely when you book you annot organise the weather.Would defietly recommend. We hopped on in Lucerne which made our day at least 2-3 hrs shorter than those in Zurich, good move as it was a long day but definetly an enjoyable and unforgettable one.

The Jungfrau Railway takes you from Interlaken to the foot of the Eiger at Kleine Scheidegg and on to the Jungfraujoch–Top of Europe mountain-top station, 3,454 meters (11,339 feet) above sea level. The world’s highest railway, the Jungfraujoch celebrates 100 years of mountain-top train travel in 2012.
This once-in-a-lifetime, 2.5-hour one-way train journey includes heart-stopping glimpses of snowy white glaciers and deep valleys below, from "windows" carved into the rock. Interlaken is linked to Lucerne, Grindelwald, Mürren and Wengen by Swiss Rail trains.
Cable cars and gondolas swing out across the valleys connecting other ski routes and scenic viewpoints. Grindelwald in particular is a cable car hot spot, including the stunning Grindelwald–Männlichen gondola, the gondola to Mt. First and the cable car to Pfingstegg. Cable cars also link Wengen and Männlichen, and Gimmelwald to Piz Gloria via the famous Schilthornbahn.
