Jungfrau Railway & The Bernese Oberland Daily departures June - October Make your way to the “Top of Europe”! Complete with an Ice Palace full of ice sculptures and the Sphinx Observatory with a 360-degree view over this incredible terrain, a journey to Europe’s highest railway station - Jungfraujoch - is not just a rail excursion.

Centred in the pretty car-free village of Wengen in the heart of the spectacular Bernese Oberland, deep in the Swiss Alps, this exceptional 8-day holiday showcases the highlights of this breathtaking region, featuring a trip up the majestic Jungfrau and a steam train excursion on the Brienz Rothorn Bahn, along with evening meals, packed lunches for your excursion programme and a welcome bottle of wine.

Daily departures June - October available Itinerary Day 1: London to Zurich Depart London by air* to Zurich and transfer by rail to Wengen in the heart of the Swiss Alps, where you will be met by a local representative and shown to your charming hotel, the historic 3-star Hotel Falken, your home-from-home for the next seven nights.

You’ll toast your arrival with a welcome aperitif and also included in your stay is a welcome bottle of wine, evening meals and a daily packed lunch to fit with your excursion programme. You can also enjoy a special fondue dinner on an evening of your choice.

Day 2: Schynige Platte Railway Today you will make your way up the Schynige Platte Railway, where the vantage point affords you the most jaw-dropping view of the three peaks that greet you after a seven-kilometre climb on the cogwheel railway; the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

excursion will take you directly through the infamous North Face of the Eiger and past the peak of the Mönch, before ultimately stopping at the Jungfraujoch: the highest railway station in Europe, with its Sphinx Observatory and incredible views out over the largest glacier in Europe and Vosges mountains.

Day 5: Interlaken Interlaken lies quite literally “between lakes” and from the near-vertical 800m Harder Kulm funicular railway you will see the two lakes of Thun and Brienz stretch out before you and a band of white-tipped peaks forming the horizon beyond.

Some free time today to perhaps use your included transport pass to visit Lucerne, or simply take a walk or hike in the glorious Lauterbrunnen Valley.

At the time of construction in 1892 the Brienz Rothern Bahn steam rack railway was the steepest and highest in the world. It may have lost that crown now, but the panoramic view of a record-breaking 693 mountain peaks and exhilarating ride along cliff faces make for a grand day. Afterwards you’ll hop on a paddle steamer for a cruise across Lake Brienz to Interlaken, and onwards back up to Wengen.

Your senses will be stirred, not shaken, as you head up the “James Bond Mountain”; the Schilthorn. Made famous by the 1968 film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, this excursion features and exhibition dedicated to the movie, and a “James Bond Brunch” is included at the superb revolving restaurant, Piz Gloria.
