From Interlaken Ost, your Jungfraujoch ticket lets you choose between two routes: via Lauterbrunnen or via Grindelwald. You'll return to Interlaken via the same route you took to Jungfraujoch.
Via Grindelwald, take the “Eiger Express” cable car from Grindelwald Terminal to Eigergletscher station. Opened in 2020, this modern cable car takes just 15 min to reach the station from Grindelwald. Along the way, enjoy spectacular views of the mighty, 1,800 m-high north face of the Eiger. At Eigergletscher, change to the cogwheel railway, which takes you through the Eiger and Mönch massif to Jungfraujoch.
Via Lauterbrunnen, take the cogwheel railway via Wengen to Kleine Scheidegg. On the way, you'll pass the world-famous Lauberhorn downhill ski run. You'll be amazed at just how steep the course is. At Kleine Scheidegg, change to the cogwheel railway to Jungfraujoch.
At Eismeer station, on the way to Jungfraujoch, the train makes a short stop. Here, you can admire and photograph the impressive glacier through a large panoramic window.

Practical information
- Dogs need their own ticket between Eigergletscher and Jungfraujoch, including the return journey
If you're travelling with a wheelchair or pushchair, we recommend taking the 3S cable car, the Eiger Express, from Grindelwald Terminal (via Eigergletscher station).
If you travel via Kleine Scheidegg, Jungfrau Railways cannot guarantee transport in every case.
Jungfraujoch itself is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. The entrance to the Ice Palace is equipped with a stairlift for wheelchair users.
Groups of 3 or more wheelchair users should let the ticket office staff at their departure station know about their trip. This allows them to arrange any assistance you may need.
Between March and October, a hike of around 45 minutes takes you across the glacier from Jungfraujoch to Mönchsjochhütte, at 3,657 m above sea level. The trail is well signposted and groomed. This easy hike is suitable for children too. Put on sturdy shoes and you're all set for a day out in the Swiss Alps.
