Hello, incredible place, I was lucky enough to leave early and during the week, so I didn't have to wait for the various set-ups to take to get on top. It's a bit frustrating to see whole groups go past you, but it was well managed by your staff. I cried at the 360 cineama, and also had a lot of emotions at the part devoted to the creation of the site. Unfortunately, there was a bit of work going on during my visit, but it wasn't too distracting. Thank you for a very emotional visit.

It was okay, but there long lines for everything and my ticket was looked at as a "get in the back of the line ". The train ride was mostly under cover and not as advertised. It was an okay experience but for €211 CHF, I expected more. Thank you

EigerExpress fantastique. Ice cave glissante et dangereuse, un espace sécurisé pour les personnes qui le nécessitent serait indispensable. Enfin j'ai dû renseigner une quinzaine de personnes étrangères qui n'arrivaient pas à s'orienter dans la gare. Le personnel est peu présent et peu aimable.

we appreciated the fact that we could leave from the station and return at a time that suited us. no ticket problems, perfect. Otherwise we enjoyed the final ascent in the snow to the refuge (thanks to the weather), the ice cave and its sculptures and of course the landscape of the Bernese Alps and the comfort of the expert eiger as well as the cleanliness of the trabsports , restaurants toilets ....

It was not clear where to get off from the train, to take the cable car, so we ended up missing the cable car on the way down. There was some announcement in German only. We had to wait for another train and go back to the station of the cable car. Other than that, all was good

It was an amazing experience that comes on the same level as the Grand Canyon. One of my best nature experiences. In isolation, the ticket price is high, but it is worth every franc. Definitely recommend a trip to Jungfraujoch.

Our trip to Jungfraujoch was spectacular. We had clear blue skies and could see for miles and miles from the top of the mountain. We bought our tickets for the gondola from Grindelwald to the final train to get to the top of the mountain one month before our trip. We printed the QR code and brought it along on the trip. It worked perfectly. We did not reserve seats but it was not necessary, we loaded onto the gondolas and easily found seats together. This was a highlight of our time in Switzerland

We loved the tram and train rides. We found the top to be too crowded. When the glacier was closed because of the heavy snow from the night hehire, there was not enough staff explaining if it may open later. We did not know if we should wait in line or leave.

Had a beautiful time there, celrbrating my mothers 60th birthday. The entire experience, from the mountain top to the restaurants, were amazing. I would definitely book with headout again. I had to cancel the initial trip I booked due to personal reasons and rebook it for lesser people and the staff advised me accordingly on how to do so. The process was extremely easy and smooth. The refund was prompt too. Thank you so much for making the booking process and thus the trip incredibly smooth

The weather made the trip fantastic . The ticketing service needs some improvement. Firstly it wasn't clear whether I had an actual train reservation at Kleine Schneiggig so which queue to go in. Secondly I was able choose any earlier time and spend more time at Lauterbrunnen as long as I was at kleine schneiggig by the right time .

The QR code was our ticket all day long so we did not need to queue at ticket offices. It was not overly clear what Jungfrau train and Eiger Express we were to catch back down...it just said "2 hrs later". We were delayed getting up there as the Gondola was late so wasn't sure whether we could stay longer at the top...we didn't so it was a bit rushed. We did get off at Grindelwald on the way back down and walk around for a while before catching the train back to Interlaken. All in all, a really good day.

Sep 2024Verified booking
The booking process was very easy and inclusive of getting up to Jungfraujoch from Interlaken. We were able to see everything that we wanted to including the Ice Palace, the glacier, Sphinx observatory, and everything that was at the top. We opted for the train up instead of the gondola as we are not too keen on heights; it was a beautiful scenic ride up. Some things that would have been helpful to know before hand or already have in the instructions: The starting time that you book, corresponds to the train leaving from Interlaken. I was familiar with the trains and the SBB app to check the train times, stops, and platforms we were to change at, but it wasn't really explcitly mentioned or recommended to have the SBB app. The directions only mentioned changing at Lauterbrunnen towards Kleine Scheidegg and then exit at Keline Scheidegg to wait for the cog train up, but no further details of platform switching or train times. Thankfully the trains run very on time and there's a few minutes between when your train arrives and the next one leaves, but if you miss it for whatever reason, it's a bout a 30 minute wait for the next train up or down. Even though the instructions say your ticket for your decent down is 2 or 3 hours after your start time, it doesn't not give you the exact time of your train to go down, however, there are trains running all day, you just might have to wait a little longer depending on how busy it is. Also, the QR code we received is the ticket up and back for the booking we made.

We enjoyed the train ride to the Jungfraujoch to the full. All in all, it was a very impressive experience. We did the way back a little differently by making a stopover on the Kleine Scheidek. From there, in a beautiful restaurant with a direct view of the Eigerwand, we were able to review our experience.

Going to Jungfrau is an unforgettable experience! We went up only by the little trains (no cable car) and it is really exciting! Once you get up you get a breathtaking view, take the inside tour to the Top of the Europe including the ice tunnel (icy but quaint) and the glacier walk....and you would never leave! Highly recommended!!!!

The information was not clear enough as to which train stop to get off. There are two similar: Grindelwald and Grindelwald terminal. Very confusing. We missed getting of at Terminal and went to Grindelwald where we followed a crowd to a mountain gondola. Only when our tickets didn't work did a worker tell us we were at the wrong mountain! We had to double back. Once we got to the right place we were told out tickets were for a specific time window which we missed and we had to wait longer. This all gave us a shorter time at the venue as return tickets were for specific times too. Instructions new to be MUCH clearer about getting of at the TERMINAL stop and not going to the final Grindelwald stop!!!

The ticket mentioned a first train to Interlaken Ost at 10am that didn't exist (9.34am or 10.04am). For the 3rd train to the JungfrauRoch our ticket was not recognized when accessing the platform. We were able to take the train without a reservation, and the ticket was recognized on the train!

The travel experience itself was great, the Jungfraujoch is super well organized with the round trip at the top of the Jungfraujoch. What wasn't good was the booking - I didn't know what to do with the barcodes. I couldn't figure out which barcode was for which person, what the sequence of sections was - I felt pretty left alone with the extremely cryptic confirmation. I didn't see a receipt either. The same tour without the headout would have been much better.

Ease of reserving the tickets and the fair cost. E-mail communication was good and provided valuable information, although not all inclusive and confusing at times. 2 disappointing occurances were: 1. my wife and I missed the gondola ride up to Jungfraujoch via the Eiger Express due to miscommunication as to the exact location of where to catch the Express. Ended up taking the train ride up to Jungfraujoch. 2. I inquired several times via "chat" as to whether my tickets included half fare cards since the term "2 Swiss Half Fare card" was clearly indicated in the e-mails and in the app. Since communication was not clear via "chat," I purchased 2 half fare cards at the train station. So not sure whether I really paid twice for half fare cards.

It was an experience of a lifetime; however, we didn't expect it would take an hour and a half to get there given when you buy a ticket it says you have only so much time to come back in order to get a seat back down the mountain. You should explain that you need to change trains at the 4th stop, and the approx. time I takes to get to the top so that visitors know what to anticipate. Thanks for this opportunity to comment.

The freedom to choose paths and times. Kleine Scheidegg very beautiful. The Jungfraujoch, on the other hand, was a check-in facility, as we didn't actually want to buy watches, but wanted to learn something about the railroad and the area. Who made the statue of the railwayman there?

On the 2nd day, the Headout app displayed "no connection" and the ticket could no longer be retrieved, even though it was explicitly advertised that the app could also be used to retrieve tickets offline!☹️ Fortunately, I had taken a screenshot of the barcode, which was also recognized by the ticket readers. Nasty glitch!

Things to do at Jungfraujoch
Jungfrau Panorama
As soon as you enter, you will be subjected to a 4-minute 360-degree view of the Jungfrau. Watch the clouds pass by, the powdery snow lay on mountains, or follow the camera as it plunges into ice crevices in this viewing experience.
Sphinx Observatory
One of the highest observatories in the world, the Sphinx is a research station and open viewing deck where visitors can behold the surrounding Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger summits. You can take an elevator directly from the Jungfraujoch railway station to the observation deck — where a whopping 108 m is covered in just 25 seconds.
Explore the Sphinx Observatory
Ice Palace (Eispalast)
The Ice Palace is carved within the Aletsch Glacier and is the highest ice palace in the world. Visitors will be awestruck with the intricate detailing on each carving. You can expect to see animals such as bears, penguins, and eagles that are life-like in their appearance.
Jungfraujoch's Ice Palace
Alpine Sensation
The Alpine Sensation is a 250 m long corridor connecting the Eispalast and Sphinx Observation Deck. It pays homage to the miners that connected the Jungfraujoch to the Jungfraujoch railway station with memorial tablets. Cross the chilly corridor and you will see a massive snow globe at the end.
Glacier Plateau
This vantage platform gives you breathtaking views of the snowy mountains surrounding the Jungfraujoch. You can walk to the Swiss flag that flutters in the wind and take a picture as you take in the rugged terrain around you.
Hike to Mönchsjoch Hut
This hike is about 45 minutes from Jungfraujoch to the highest-altitude serviced hut in Switzerland. Once you reach the Mönchsjochhütte, enjoy a snack or drink. Note that the hike requires good physical fitness, and the trail is open only till mid-October (subject to weather conditions).
