How to get to Jungfraujoch from Interlaken?

From Interlaken Ost railway station or Wilderswil to Grindelwald Terminal via the Bernese Oberland Railway. Change there and take the Eiger Express tricable gondola directly to the Eiger Glacier. At the Eiger Glacier station, change to the Jungfrau Railway to reach the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe.



Getting to Jungfraujoch ("The Top of Europe") from Interlaken is a seamless multi-stage journey using the Swiss rail system. In 2026, the fastest route is the "Eiger Express" path: first, take a 20-minute Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) train from Interlaken Ost to the Grindelwald Terminal. From there, you board the state-of-the-art Eiger Express tricable gondola, which whisks you up to the Eigergletscher station in just 15 minutes, offering spectacular views of the Eiger North Face. The final leg is a 35-minute ride on the historic Jungfrau Railway (JB), a rack railway that tunnels through the mountains to reach the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 meters. Alternatively, you can take the traditional slower route via Lauterbrunnen and Wengen if you prefer classic train travel over cable cars. The entire journey typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. In 2026, it is highly recommended to reserve a seat for the final cogwheel train leg to avoid long wait times at the Eigergletscher hub.

FAQ. Which is better Jungfraujoch or Titlis? While both destinations are really nice and Jungfraujoch is more unique, Mount Titlis is much easier, quicker, and also significantly cheaper to visit than Jungfrau. So if you have to pick just one of the two – in summer or in winter – I think I'd go to Mt Titlis.
