This Swiss Alps day trip is essentially a road trip through the Swiss Alps and explores the world-famous Jungfraujoch —the top of Europe — and it should definitely be on your Swiss bucket list. If you would like more Switzerland inspiration, consider our broader range of Switzerland Day Tours, including our Mount Rigi & Lucerne City Tour.

Explore the fascinating Bernese Oberland, the most stunning part of Switzerland. Driving on narrow streets through the Swiss Alps, you will visit the tiny village of Lauterbrunnen, the famous Grindelwald, and the most spectacular mountain: The Jungfraujoch.

On this road trip through the Swiss Alps, forests, and turquoise lakes, you get to experience 3 world-famous Swiss landmarks:

• The Jungfrau area in the Bernese Oberland can’t be missed on your Swiss adventure with the charming town of Grindelwald
• The tiny village of Lauterbrunnen
• And Jungfraujoch – the absolute highlight covered in snow at 11362 feet altitude at the top of Europe, the Jungfraujoch.

Warning: you may be overwhelmed by the gorgeous scenes, majestic mountains, and charming villages. And that’s all without mentioning the Jungfraujoch – the highest train station in Europe.

Starting very early is the best way to experience the Jungfraujoch without the tourist crowd. This way, we get this spectacular place almost just to ourselves and our small tour group. It’s this intimacy that lies at the heart of Riccardi Travel as we want to create the most magical experiences possible. If you’re interested, read a little more about us.

The view on top of the Jungfraujoch is stunning and it honestly defies description. You just have to be there to understand. You will see the Aletsch glacier, Europe’s longest glacier, and you can also take some fun pictures in the snow as well as enjoy a walk through an ice palace.

On the way back you will visit Lauterbrunnen, a tiny but famous village surrounded by impressive cliffs and stunning waterfalls. The ride back to Lucerne is filled with pretty villages and turquoise lakes; you’ll feel as though you’re driving through a postcard.
