Our recommendation: Your trip to the Top of Europe with the Jungfrau Railway to the highest railroad station in Europe
A highlight of every Grindelwald vacation is the trip to the Jungfraujoch - the Top of Europe. The highest railroad station in Europe is located at 3454 meters above sea level.
An alpine wonderland of ice, snow and rock awaits you, which you can admire from viewing platforms, on the Aletsch Glacier or in the Ice Palace.
The train ride from Grindelwald station to the Jungfraujoch through the middle of the Eiger and Mönch is an experience you simply must not miss.
