Activities

The Royal Walk takes you from the mountain station to the summit of the Männlichen, and to the viewing platform shaped like a crown. The commanding view from here on Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is … simply royal!

At 3’454 m above sea level the mountain train station on the Jungfraujoch is Europe’s loftiest railway station. This route passes through a seven-kilometer tunnel through the Eiger and the Mönch. Once you reach your destination, you will find yourself in the midst of a wonderland of ice, snow and rock.

The Trümmelbach Waterfalls are part of the 72 waterfalls of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, which also include the impressive Staubbach Waterfall. A mostly level walk leads from Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg right past the water gushing down from vertical rock faces, some of which are several hundred meters high. The Trümmelbach drains the huge glacier walls of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and transports up to 20’000 litres per second and 20’000 tonnes of debris per year from its catchment area. The only glacier waterfalls in Europe that are located inside the mountain and are still accessible.

From the Grütschalp cable car station, a broad gravel path leads in a steady slope to the village of Mürren, passing the restaurant of Winteregg with beautiful views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountain chain and the long-drawn-out settlement of Wengen. From Mürren you can take the cable car to Schilthorn – Piz Gloria and enjoy the most impressive 360° panorama of the Alps.

Faboulous views off the beaten track The small, unspoilt village lies at 1024 metres above sea level, high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Insiders claim that the view of the Jungfrau is the most beautiful here.
