Our highlights.

JungfraujochIn the depth of the "Top of Europe"

A great moment in mountain railroad history. On the Swiss National Day in 1912,the trains of the Jungfraubahn went into operation after a 16-year construction

effort. The ride crosses Alpine pastures and further on via the Eiger goes to

Europe's highest train station, located at 3454 meters above sea level. It is an

overwhelming experience to see the Eiger Northface through the window and later

on to stand high up there at the starting point of the Great Aletsch Glacier.

Schynige PlatteBy Nostalgic Cogwheel Train to the Panoramic Vantage Point

The cozy, nostalgic cogwheel train dating to the 19th century huffs and puffs upthe 1,400-meter ascent from Wilderswil to the vantage point of Schynige Platte.

Faulhorn Mountain Hotel and to First/Grindelwald.

The Beatus Caves, located high above the eastern shores of Lake Thun, are
