You can get to the top of Switzerland’s Jungfrau mountain in one of the most scenic journeys of your entire Swiss visit, while on the same big day you can find time for several easy hikes and scenic rides by train and cable car, enjoying some of the world’s finest sights, walking Grindelwald's glacier gulch, and mountain trails near Wengen.

Plan to spend 2 hours at the day's main destination, the Jungfrau, at 9:50 nearly 4,000 meters elevation, enjoying the views, frolicking in the snow and experiencing the many exhibits on offer at the summit. Then take the train back down towards Wengen, then hop off along the way for an easy downhill hike at 18:07 in Alpine meadows to Wengen village. Next take a scenic round-trip train ride down to Lauterbrunnen at 19:29 and back up. A cable car ride then carries you on a different route at 21:20 back over the mountains from Wengen to Grindelwald, which is a lovely village to visit, plus you can take a hike there in a glacier canyon at 23:16 . Then take the train back down to Interlaken where you started the day.
It's 2021 and here I am watching (again). I love your split screen effects! It's fully immersive for viewers. It's as close to me actually being there with your group. Your videos are outstanding!
Thanks very much. I got started with multiple screens 35 years ago, before the age of video camcorders, putting on slide shows with three screens, then it evolved, and is a good way now to combine Standard Definition with High Definition.
Excellent video of a great day!
fantastic scenery and so peaceful looking....
Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos are very informative and helpful.
Your videos about Switzerland are my favorites, very detailed information and good shots.
Going to try this itinerary in the summer! thanks!
What a great video thanks for making it
Thanks Dennis i soo needed this video for planing my trip in august ! Your a rock star.
Your videos have been so helpful! I am making my first trip to Switzerland and your videos make me so excited!!
Thanks for sharing this video. Watching in awe and sad that I was unable to enjoy all these when I visited Switzerland early this month (April 2019) due to heavy snowfall. We did however able to get to the top of Mt, Titlis, but that was it. Ice flyer and Cliff walk were both closed. Grindelwald and Interlaken are such a beautiful place to visit as well. 👍♥️
I've seen this a few times and it's very informative. Will be staying in Lauterbrunnen May 2018
Love this video

Thank you very much Dennis for sharing your video. All of the video are very informative. My husband and I are planning our Swiss trip for Oct and your video are very big help and inspiration.
This is a very detailed and informative video, yet engaging.
This is very helpful, thank you!
Here to see your great videos 👍👍
Thank you for a the video , i enjoy a lot 💐
Got exhausted just by watching this video 😂🐮
Yes, it is a challenge, but we actually did it in one day as shown. You think that was exhausting? Try and reach the top of Jungfrau from Lucerne in one day, which I did when younger:

Thank you a million times for making and sharing this video. It seems to be a wonderful itinerary...and now I just need the borders to open for international travel so I can go to Switzerland. I’m even supposed to be in Germany now but the stupid virus has ruined my plans. I hope I get to Europe very soon. I’ve never been there and I want to go!! Thank you for all your lovely videos. They’ll help me A LOT when planning a trip to Switzerland.
excellent presentation
I am amazed that you did all that in one day! Very much looking forward to spending 10 nights in Grindelwald in July :)
Thank you for the wonderful video. I went up to Jungfrau mountain on July 2019. It was a beautiful trip. Will go to Schilthorn, Murren, Lauterbrunnen Valley, and Trummelabch Falls on my next trip to Switzerland. 😀
superb
Heading back out there for our honeymoon in June, about my 12th time out there 😊
Dennis: a superb and very informative video. I suppose that it takes a lot of work for planning, filming and editing. I really loved the maps with multiple windows.
Thanks Mario, I'm grateful for your appreciation.
Dennis thanks very much for your travel videos. Your commentaries are excellent; highlighting the keys places to visit and were very helpful. I used your switzerland playlist to plan for my family holiday in October last year. Greetings from Singapore!
hi Dennis! I have really been enjoying watching your videos. My mom and I are going through all of them and are taking notes while we watch to prepare for our upcoming trip at the end of this month! By the way, are you currently offering tours?
Hi Dennis, enjoy watching your very informative video covering your trip to Switzerland. Can I ask your advice when is the best time of the year to see these places? thanks
Very informative,will be staying in grindelwald next month,is it cloudy in jungfrau? Thank you
Thanks for sharing Dennis. You gave all the useful pointers. It's going to help me a lot in my planning. I will be there i August. It is safe to hike solo ?
Yes, trails are safe, just bring your mobile in case of emergency, and there is very, very little chance of crime, except some pickpockets on the trains.
Thanks for this Video Dennis. Its very informative and well made.
Need a small help. You went up a different route and came back a different route. What about the cost of Cable cars in between. I will be having a Swiss Travel pass so all trains will be covered but I am worried about the cost of Cable cars. So, each Cable car will be cost differently or is there a Return Ticket togeteher for different routes included.
Thanks!
The Swiss Travel Pass is excellent, but does not cover many mountain trains like to the Jungfrau, but you generally get a 50% discount - just show your pass at the train station to purchase tickets. Cablecars are usually extra also. The pass does include mountain excursions to: Rigi, Schilthorn and Stanserhorn, Check their website for details.
denniscallan Thanks Dennis!!
Hi, could you please share walk route map from Grindelwald to Glacier Canyon and back to station.
The Swiss government has an excellent website with many free maps you can view online www.swisstopo.admin.ch/ at their online maps and data tab
I have a question, when you walk between these places, do you just follow signs at the road, or do you have special maps/books describing the routes?
I'm travelling to Switzerland in about 3 weeks and would love to go hiking around the countryside.
When walking there are usually signs that point the way and tell you how far, in minutes, to get to each destination. However good maps are always helpful for the big picture, and for dealing with a branch in the trail that has no signpost. Maps can be easily purchased in the shops, and go to the website for the government map service, swisstopo which has excellent on-line interactive maps with great detail you can grab using screen capture, and maps for purchase.
Thank you!
Based on these recommendations I found an app for my iPhone called "Swiss Map Mobile" which is based on swisstopo maps and has functions like official footpath network, route planning and vocal guiding, POIs, offline support and other stuff.
Can't wait to explore the swiss countryside and alps!
wow that sounds like an excellent app for using the large collection in swisstopo, which also has some fun 3D renderings of the mountains.
Hi. I'm actually staying in this area next month [August 2023] - arriving on Sunday evening, August 27th and leaving on Tuesday morning, August 29th. So yes, I have the whole day of Monday, August 28th to tour the area. For just a day, would you recommend a Jungfrau Travel Pass [190 Swiss francs - this pass does not include Top of Europe] plus 75 Swiss francs for the Eigergletscher ~ Jungfraujoch return tickets in order to kind of copy the activities that you did on this video?
That's a complicated question and I haven't been there lately, so you will have to figure it out for yourself!
can you advise what are the hotels to stay at Interlaken nearby train station going to Jungfrau? And hotel to stay at Grindelwald to stay for 2 nights? I would also like to know how many days do I need to stay to see all the beautiful tourist places. thank you, Dennis would appreciate your response
I like Hotel du Nord and Hotel Carlton Europe in Interlaken, a few minutes walk from Ost station. You could see most of the region with 4 nights, but more is always better. Grindelwald hotels you'll need to search for yourself.
Ja vol Danke Veil Mal
Hmm... you can't go onto the Jungfrau by train. The 'Jungfrau' is the mountain itself, which is 4158 m high. The train takes you to the Jungfraujoch, i.e. the saddle between the Mönch and the Jungfrau. The Jungfraujoch is 3466 m, roughly 600 m below the Jungfrau.
Yes, thank you for the clarification. I am just using common speech "up the Jungfrau" but you are correct, we don't go to the top.
So, on my trip in Switzerland I can learn a lot about Japan? 😂
i wanna live there
Why come to the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland? Because it shares the
distinction, with the Valais Region, as home to the tallest and most
vast glacial region in Switzerland. The glaciers are retreating with
global warming. Sadly, Some of the lower glaciers will disappear within
the next 20 years. So, if they float-your-boat, it’s time to get thee to
the Jungfrau Region now.
I always feel sorry for the Swiss cows having to hear those clonking great bells round their necks every time they move an inch 😕
it is there for a very good reason... a bell is worn around the neck of free-roaming livestock so herders can keep track of an animal via the sound of the bell when the animal is grazing out of view in hilly landscapes or vast plains.....
