Jungfraujoch: Roundtrip Train from Grindelwald is an attraction in the Swiss Alps connecting Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres above sea level. The route begins at Grindelwald Train Station with a 15-minute ride on the Eiger Express cable car, which runs alongside the 1,800-metre Eiger North Face before reaching Eigergletscher station. From there, a cogwheel train climbs through the mountain flanks of the Eiger and Mönch, arriving at Jungfraujoch, a summit complex that has drawn visitors since the railway line opened in 1912. The area sits within the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage region, one of the largest glaciated areas in the Alps.

At the top, visitors have access to the Sphinx Viewing Platform, which offers open-air panoramas across the Aletsch Glacier and surrounding peaks, the Plateau, and the Ice Palace, a series of carved chambers set directly inside the glacier. Tickets cover the full roundtrip journey from Grindelwald, including the Eiger Express cable car segment, the cogwheel train, a reserved seat, and entry to all three summit attractions. The route is wheelchair accessible throughout. For more to plan around your visit, see things to do in Lauterbrunnen and the wider Bernese Oberland.

Arrival and timing

Begin your journey at Grindelwald Train Station, so arrive in good time before your departure slot to collect or present your ticket and locate the correct platform. Mountain weather can change quickly at this altitude, so dress in warm layers regardless of the forecast at valley level.

Getting around the venue

  • From Grindelwald you board the Eiger Express cable car for the ride up to Eigergletscher station, then transfer to the cogwheel train for the ascent through the mountain to Jungfraujoch.
  • Your ticket includes access to the Sphinx Viewing Platform, the open Plateau, and the Ice Palace, all of which are reached on foot once you arrive at the top station.
  • The Sphinx Viewing Platform is an outdoor terrace at high altitude: footing can be uneven and conditions cold and windy, so take care when moving between areas.

During your visit

Photography is welcome throughout the attraction. At this elevation, some visitors feel the effects of altitude, so take your time moving between areas and stay hydrated. Food and drink are available at the top station, though prices reflect the location.
