Eiger - Jungfrau Glacier Panorama View (from Zurich)

Summary

After pickup from a central Zurich location, sink back into the seat of your luxury coach and admire the gorgeous scenery as you travel along a scenic route to Lauterbrunnen via Interlaken. On arrival, take the world-renowned Wendermalp mountain railway through enticing natural tableaus of dense forests and vibrant meadows and arrive in Wengen, a charming village located at the foot of the dramatic Kleine Scheidegg mountain.  Opt to disembark at Wengen and explore the natural charm of the resort; simply take the next train to the mountain summit of Kleine Scheidegg afterwards and continue your independent exploration from there.  Continue to the 2,016-meter (6,762-foot) summit of the mountain and absorb sweeping vistas of the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau mountain range; see the foreboding Eiger North Face up close and then decide how you would like to spend the remainder of your afternoon. Have more time exploring the mountain summit and its incredible views, or take the train down to Grindelwald, a mountain village nicknamed ‘Glacier Village’ due to its plethora of icy glaciers.  Reconvene with your guide and group in Grindelwald and climb aboard your awaiting coach for the return journey to Zurich.
