It’s a slow ascent up the Jungfraujoch mountain as you climb 3,000 meters to the tallest peak in Switzerland. Once at the top – roughly a two-hour ride from Interlaken – you can take in the breathtaking scenery around you.
The Sphinx Observatory is the best place to admire the Swiss Alps.
Europe’s longest glacier, the Great Aletsch Glacier, is also located just below and has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So you can imagine the views from up top are spectacular.
If you want a slightly more adventurous activity, walk along the Eiger Trail or Panorama Way. Just remember it’s cold up there, so pack warm clothes.
After more activities? You can discover a winter wonderland at the Ice Palace or tickle your tastebuds at Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven.
The kids will have a lovely time at the Snow Fun Park – but we had as much, if not more, fun than Katie, Lily, and Avalee.
You can also take a 60-minute hike to Monchsjoch Hut for fantastic views of the Valais Mountains.
If all these gorgeous views and activities aren’t enough, you can also take the gondola ride to see the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
