From Lucerne: Jungfraujoch Guided Day Tour is a guided day tour departing from Lucerne to Jungfraujoch, the high-altitude saddle in the Bernese Alps that sits at 3,454 metres above sea level and holds the title of the highest railway station in Europe. The route passes through the Interlaken region, giving participants a broad sweep of central Swiss alpine scenery before ascending via the Jungfrau Railway, which has been operating since 1912.

At the summit, the tour takes in the Ice Palace, a network of tunnels and chambers carved directly into the glacier and filled with ice sculptures. The Sphinx Observatory platform offers open-air views across the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps. A guide leads the group throughout, providing context on the geology, history, and infrastructure of the site. Tickets cover guided access to the summit attractions, return rail travel from the designated departure point, and the services of an English-speaking guide for the full duration. Booking includes a set itinerary with scheduled departure times, and group sizes are kept to allow for a manageable pace across the high-altitude terrain.

Good to know

Know before you go: Arrival and timing
Arrive at the designated meeting point in good time before the tour departs, as guided group tours leave promptly and late arrivals may not be able to join. Confirm your exact departure point and time from your booking confirmation.
During your visit
Dress in warm, windproof layers regardless of the season, as temperatures at high altitude are significantly colder than at the base.
Photography is welcome throughout the tour, though please be considerate of other visitors, particularly inside the Ice Palace where surfaces can be slippery.
Follow your guide's instructions at all times, especially in enclosed areas such as the Ice Palace.
Food and drink facilities are available at the Jungfraujoch summit complex, so you are not required to carry a full day's supplies.
Cancellation policy: Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time.
