Overview
Meet your guide at the Zürich Bus Terminal and set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. As the city fades behind you, the Swiss countryside unfolds in rolling meadows, glacial lakes, and storybook chalets.
Pause in Interlaken, the adventure capital nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. Enjoy free time to stroll along boutique-lined streets or grab a coffee with a view of the Eiger’s snowy peak.
From Grindelwald, board the high-speed Eiger Express gondola. Glide over alpine meadows, forests, and rushing streams, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. In just 15 minutes, you reach Eiger Glacier Station at 2,320 meters.
At 3,454 meters, step out into a wonderland of snow and sky. Visit the Ice Palace, walk the Sphinx Terrace for sweeping glacier views, and marvel at the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps.
Enjoy a scenic ride down through Lauterbrunnen and Wengen, peaceful Alpine villages where waterfalls tumble from cliffs and no cars disturb the calm. Perfect for a few photos before heading back.
Settle back in your coach for the return journey. As twilight settles over the Alps, unwind and reflect on a day that’s taken you from lakeside serenity to the literal top of Europe.
