How do I transport to Jungfraujoch?

The Jungfraujoch can only be reached by train – departing from the Kleine Scheidegg station. You can get here from Interlaken Ost, travelling via either Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald.



Reaching Jungfraujoch, the "Top of Europe," in 2026 is a multi-stage journey that typically begins in Interlaken OST. There are currently two primary rail routes and a high-tech aerial option. The traditional scenic route involves taking a Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) train to either Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, then switching to the Wengernalp Railway (WAB) to reach Kleine Scheidegg. From there, you board the famous Jungfrau Railway cogwheel train for the final ascent through the Eiger tunnel. However, the fastest modern method is the Eiger Express tricable gondola from the Grindelwald Terminal. This cable car whisked passengers up to the Eigergletscher station in just 15 minutes, cutting the total travel time from Interlaken to roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes. Regardless of the route, travelers are advised to book seats in advance, as this remains one of Switzerland's most popular attractions with strictly controlled capacity.
