About this experience
The Swiss Alps are beautiful indeed, but the Jungfrau Region is their proverbial icing on the towering cake. Getting to the heart of the Alps can sometimes be challenging because you have to change several trains and cable cars in a limited time. With your private guide, everything can run smoothly and on time instead. We invite you to discover by train the breathtaking beauty of the Jungfrau Region by exploring some fairytale alpine villages including Lauterbrunnen, Murren, and Gimmelwald. We take you up to peaks that are as high as the sky!
