Recommendations by Jungfrau Railways to enjoy the stay at high altitude: 1) You should be physically fit and healthy. 2) Good footwear is important for getting around safely. 3) Not recommended for pregnant women from the 7th month or with high-risk pregnancies, and for children under 2 years due to difficulties equalising pressure and insufficient fluid intake.

5.00What's a trip to Switzerland without seeing the Alps? My daughter and I enjoyed this breathtaking experience! The beauty of the snowy Alps and the countryside is incredible. Our guide Jean was very knowledgeable about His country's laws, history, and culture. He was good at keeping our large group together and on time so we could make all our stops and connections.
Great tour!

Impressive Trip to Jungfrau

5.00The Discovery Tour at Jungfrau was an experience I'll remember for a long time - very impressive. Taking Eiger gondola and train up to the top of the mountain and coming down to Lauterbrunen via a different train allows to see a vast majority of Jungfrau. I highly recommend this trip but one should be aware that there was some lost/wasted time dropping/picking up customers in Lucerne.
Great experience highly recommend

5.00I had a great experience on this tour the two guides worked extremely hard to keep things organised unfortunately this is not always the easiest to do when guests ignore the return times, the experience itself was great it was a shame that the weather was a cloudy but it's the gamble you take when you visit the top of a mountain if I had one complaint on the mountain, at top of the world it could be a bit pushing and shoving but that's completely out of the travel companies hands and more a reflection of the people at the attraction on the day I would definitely recommend the experience and let the best of swizleland take you up there and look after you
A must do experience

5.00Amazing experience loved everything about the day. There was plenty of time at the top of mountain and our guide stayed with us the whole time! The views were amazing and being outside on the glacier on a beautiful day was a highlight. It may seem like an expensive tour but it's definitely worth it!
Highly recommend

5.00Exceptional trip that is worth the price (may seem expensive, but most of price goes into the ticket price). My guides (Min and another guy - sorry I forgot his name but the trip took place on 17 April) were very very very helpful. They will advise me on which side of the train to take to have the best view. They were also jovial and entertaining throughout the long but scenic bus ride. Highly recommend.
Don't miss this one. Incredible day!!
