Switzerland
Bernese Oberland
The Jungfrau region offers the most dramatic trio of peaks in the Alps. Walk the classic Eiger Trail, explore Grindelwald, and take the train to Europe's highest station.
The Bernese Oberland is home to the most famous triumvirate in Swiss alpinism: the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Our program takes you along the base of these legendary north faces through flower-filled meadows, past impossibly blue lakes, and into the historic villages of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen.
The Eiger Trail is a particular highlight — a protected cliff-edge path running directly below the 1,800 m north face that made Eiger history. You walk in the footsteps of the climbers whose stories defined modern mountaineering.
We also explore the high plateau above the valley: Männlichen, Kleine Scheidegg, and the Schynige Platte alpine garden. Optional: a rail excursion to the Jungfraujoch at 3,454 m, the highest railway station in Europe.
