Train trip to the Jungfrau Mountain at the Top of Europe, near Interlaken and Grindelwald, Switzerland. Europe's highest railroad line will bring you up to a spectacular world of perpetual winter, dominated by massive, snow-covered peaks reaching over 13,000 feet high and surrounding the continent's longest glacier. Many consider the train ride up one of the finest, most picturesque in the world, where getting to the top is half the fun. The journey from Interlaken to Grindlewald can be easily made on the Bernese Overland railway, and it travels on a scenic route through the valley and along the river and passes several villages. There are magnificent mountain views all along the way.
The hundred-year-old rail line from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch is one of Europe's great engineering wonders, the world's highest subway climbing through four miles of tunnels inside the rock. The beginning of this 50-minute journey is not underground, and momentarily offers a great view; so sit on the right side of the train. The train makes two brief stops enroute to let everyone out for a walk through short tunnels to viewing stations, where you look through windows at the nearby mountain peaks and the landscapes far below.
Upon arrival at the end of the rail line, you walk through an ice tunnel decorated with ice carvings and then approach a sight too amazing for description or film. You really have to pay your dues and go there in person to experience the exhilaration of standing at the top of the world, surrounded by Alpine giants of snow.The observation deck and snowfield are at 11,350 feet, flanked by the jagged peaks of the Jungfrau (13,642 ft.) and the Mönch (13,449 ft.), which form a valley that cradles the Aletsch Galcier, an endless field of snow that stretches 13 miles to the horizon.
Plan on spending an hour or two at the top, playing in the snow and exploring the various levels and exhibits of the visitor center, then catch a convenient train back down the route you came. You return to Kleine Scheidegg, where you can change trains for a different return route that will take you through Wengen and down to Lauterbrunnen.

Wonderful videos covering this most beautiful area of Switz - I went to Grindelwald for the first time in 1952 (before marriage), my wife and I spent our `honeymoon in Grindelwald in 1956`. We have been lucky to have visited this area many, many times, we have driven down from Dorset Uk. Not many areas we have missed during this time - Our favourite holiday country, however now in our mid eighties can`t walk the mountains as we used to any more, (86 & 85 years) David & Audrey

Oh yes I’ve been to several European countries and Switzerland is the most beautiful country in Europe because of its stunning scenery and neatly organised towns and villages that are pretty the sophisticated railway system then the fact that wherever you go in Switzerland it’s clean and tidy this all based on my ten day stay in the summer of 1982 which is a while ago and obviously things have changed somewhat and I’d like to visit Switzerland again and stay for a fortnight so I can visit the places that I’ve not been to yet such zermatt for the Matterhorn and mount titliss Basel city then Lugano hence Locarno so that’s all for now folks

Thank you foe this beautiful video. My mother was from Grindelwald and I have been lucky enough to visit a few times. Many great memories as I watched, both of the village and my mother. Thank you again.

Your travel videos Mr Dennis are my absolute favorite. Just quality vistas, narration and locations. A thousand thanks.
Wonderful informative videos. I am planning this for next year so these videos are very helpful with the hotel recommendations. Thanks for posting.
Lovely just imagine that wonderful viewing
Virtual tour of jungfrau the highest peak of alps of Europe really good experience
How fortunate our family was to enjoy this complete trip with clear blue skies and warmer weather every day we were there......but no mention here that the ice tunnel is in the glacier.... nor the dog sleds! We followed Rick Steve’s plan throughout....
Thank you. It's a really beautiful and absolutely your tour guide helped for new travelers. Your guiding is excellent!
Thank you for sharing this to us. I wish to go back again to this place. Such a spectacular panoramic train ride.
i was in interlaken in 1991 and it was so beautiful that i went back in 2013 thanks for your video from holland
Did this journey some years ago!! Just love the memories. Hope to return one day🤞🏿
สวยงามมากค่ะ..so beautiful
Nice video sir really enjoyed it😍
Such beautiful scenery
9:40 I could not believe my eyes. A bird just flew past at that high altitude. Thanks for the memories. I visited Jungfrau a few years ago. The air was crystal clear when I was there... freezing cold and hard to breath, but absolutely stunning scenery. Out on a nearby sheer drop, paragliders were jumping over the edge and soaring high above our heads. I liked Switzerland... such a neat and tidy country.
I love it this place is wonderfull
Clean & blessed country
I was there 5 years for my summer hollidays when i was a child. The best place i know ! Beautiful landscapes, and Jungfrau indescriptible ! You must go there one time in your life if you can !
what a wonderful place, thanks for sharing, i wish i can travel again so soon
Swiss is beautiful country...I would love to visit it some time soon!

This is a beautifully made video. Many thanks for posting it. About two and a half years back, I had the pleasure of travelling from Interlaken to Jungefrau joch and back. One can see some of the finest natural beauty in this region. Whole place looks so green and immaculate. It is a giant golf course! The Swiss know how to keep their country clean and beautiful.👌👏🏻👏🏻
Great video, thanks for sharing

Such a beautiful country.
Scenery is breathtaking
Amazing experience. I visited Jungfrau in 2017. Really a wonderful journey.
We visited Interlaken , Jungfrau in 2014 and the places are amazingly beautiful. Great trip..Bern, Zurich, Interlaken and Jungfrau.
extra ordinary scenic location for traveling very beautiful video
Thank you for showing and sharing this video!.. It's very beautiful and clean!..I wish live there too!.. but, I have no connection to go and live there!..Hawaii is too hot for me to live!. And I hope you always have a wonderful life!..
I'm not Swiss, I have no Swiss roots and I've never been to this area. But I get this overwhelming emotional sense of homesickness when I see videos of this region. Perhaps some day I may visit the area and ride this train. In the meantime, I will watch videos, I will listen to Melanie Oesch yodel and I will dream.
My second time in interlaken and I love it. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the video

Patricia Henderson Please let me know which area to stay in interlaken Air bnb or hotel?
we found this stunning when we were there. But the Canadian Rockies are a very similar rival!
I worked as a DJ in Interlaken and Wengen in 1976 and even skied from Piz Gloria to Lauterbrunnen, where they filmed part of 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' with George Lazenby. I was humming 'The James Bond Theme' all the way down. Wonderful memories, thank you.
this is a beautiful video.swiss is really a bliss.beautiful people heartfelt minds I really enjoy this video.
Thanks for this video. My girlfriend and I visited Switzerland for the first time last fall, staying in Beatenberg above Interlaken. Took the journey in your video to Jungfraujoch. The beauty was breathtaking. I did not want to leave, and I can't wait to go back.
Very beautiful scenery.
We are planning to visit and these videos are the most helpful and a joy to watch!
Except for the awesome and breathtaking views and pictures, I loved your description! Thank you so much for making us travel,even in that way :)
awesome thank you
Very nice & informative video...can't wait to get there...thanks for sharing 🤙
I was there in 2006! I didn't have a great time up on the mountain though because I had HORRIBLE altitude sickness, so my body felt like it was just completely done. But the train ride up was so beautiful, this was great to see and relive it.
Yes,beautiful Grindelwald i stayed there and very nice and enjoyed a few days at the Belvadare hotel,in April and snow on roof tops nice scenery.
