Translate DescriptionFor the best Alpine views in Switzerland, don't miss the opportunity to take a day trip from Lucerne to ride the rack railway for magnificent panoramic vistas of Mts. Eiger, Monch and the Jungrau. IntroductionFor the best Alpine views in Switzerland, don't miss the opportunity to take a day trip from Lucerne to ride the rack railway for magnificent panoramic vistas of Mts. Eiger, Monch and the Jungrau. This full-day excursion from Lucerne starts with a comfortable ride in a modern deluxe coach through Switzerland's scenic countryside to the enchanting Alpine world of the Bernese Oberland.
After a short interlude in Interlaken you'll travel to Lauterbrunnen. Here you'll board the Wengernalp rack railway for a 45-minute trip through idyllic Alpine meadows and forests to the little village of Wengen, and then further on up to Kleine Scheidegg (6,762 feet, 2,061 meters). Bring your camera, as the panoramic mountain views of Mts. Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau from here are magnificent. The imposing Eiger North Face is within touching distance!
You'll have free time for lunch, to relax or do some hiking on the well-signed hiking trails for all levels of competence. The unaccompanied trip back down to the valley follows the north-west slopes of the Eiger to the famous resort of Grindelwald. (During the winter season the tour is fully guided, including the down-hill train ride to Grindelwald.) You'll return to Lucerne at approximately 7pm.

Departure Time9.30am Departure PointCentral Lucerne This excellent trip is highly recommended. Our tour guide was an expert on the area and was concerned for our comfort especially when all members of our group decided to pay the supplement and head to the Top of Europe. We were hoping for good weather to view the massive glacier but experienced a blizzard instead much to the delight of visitors from sunny countries. The valley is absolutely beautiful and the views stunning... don't miss it!! 2010-04-04 , Canada This excellent trip is highly recommended.

It was well worth the money although we paid the extra to go right up to the top. 2008-01-28 Sharon M , This was a birthday present to myself.

When we returned, we were not let off the bus at the pickup point Train station info both. Instead we were exited 5 blocks away but told the train station was around the corner. Had to seek instructions from a local bar. Don't let them do this to you 2011-12-06 BOB , USA  The scenery on this trip was stunning and the trip is worth it simply for that. All other aspects of the "tour" left much to be desired. The guide was not a local and spoke so quickly such that you couldn't understand what he was saying most of the time. The Interlaken stop should be left off the tour as it consists of 20 minutes of walking down a strip of tourist trap shops. The bus was uncomfortable simply because they put way too many people on it for comfort. I think they must have packed at least 100 people on it. My companion and I opted not to pay extra to go to Jungfraujoch to save some money. I still found the scenery to be breathtaking and don't regret that decision though I'm sure the top would also have been spectacular. At one point the guide basically pushed us off the train for a 30 minute stop at Wengen since we decided not to journey up to the top. When I tried to explain that we didn't want to get off here and would rather spend all of our time at the next stop up at Kleine Scheindegg, he said there was nothing up there (i.e., no tourist shops) and we would have too much time up there. However, he just didn't understand that we were there to get out in nature and not spend our time looking for trinkets in the shops. I was highly irritated by this, but was happy that it meant we didn't have to deal with the guide and the rest of the 100+ group. If you don't mind the higher cost, I would recommend doing this trip on your own. 2010-09-13 Gretchen C , The scenery of this trip was beautiful, however, the execution of the trip by the tour personnel was not good. The scenery was great however, and we enjoyed walking around the little towns and using the rack railway. It would have been nice to have a better description of what each town had to offer so we could plan a bit better about where to spend time. 2008-07-01 Louis D, United States of America
