Jungfraujoch private tours collect you from your hotel in Zurich or Interlaken and keep your own guide with you all the way to the top. Nobody else joins, and the day runs at your pace.
Up to 7 of you travel from a Zurich hotel with your own guide. The train pauses at a window station inside the Eiger, you get about 3 hours up top, and the drive home includes an hour in the valley.
From $919 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Your driver-guide can collect you anywhere in Zurich. The Brünig Pass and Interlaken break up the drive, and the fare includes the railway, the observatory lift and the ice halls. It is marked as wheelchair accessible.
From $925 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
From Zurich with hotel pickup, via Grindelwald, and home by the Höheweg in Interlaken. You choose a driver-guide or a separate guide when you book, and the guide speaks English or Greek.
From $932 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
The shortest private day: 8 hours from your Interlaken hotel, by public train with your own guide. The guide takes you round at the top for about 3 hours and brings you down the other side.
From $937 per person
Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead.
Up to 7 of you with your own guide, about 3 hours across the summit and an hour in the valley. $919 a person at the group size shown.
Check availabilityIt is the same mountain with nobody else in your group. A guide collects you from your hotel in Zurich or Interlaken, drives or rides the trains with you, and goes up to the summit with you. You set the pace at the top and choose where to stop on the way.
The fare is quoted per person, and it depends on how many of you there are. The figure on each card is for the group size the booking page shows first; enter your own number before you compare.
Every private day starts at your hotel or address. No coach terminal, no check-in counter, no waiting for other guests.
On a coach day, up to 60 people move to one timetable. On a private day, the guide walks at your speed and answers only your questions.
The Zurich days pause on the Brünig Pass, in Interlaken, in Grindelwald or in the Lauterbrunnen valley. One goes up with a stop at the Eismeer window inside the Eiger.
The day from a Zurich hotel lobby and the day from Interlaken both allow about 3 hours at the top, and nobody hurries you back to a coach.
The Zurich days from a hotel lobby and from any Zurich address are marked wheelchair accessible. The coach days are not.
The main alternative is a guided group day at a fraction of the price. Here is the difference, from each day's own details.
| A private day | A group coach day | |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup | Your hotel or address | A coach terminal or shop |
| Group | Only you, up to 7 or 15 | Up to 48 or 60 |
| Time at the top | About 2 to 3 hours | 2 to 3 hours, on a fixed clock |
| Stops | Several, some your choice | A short break in Interlaken |
| Wheelchair users | On some Zurich days | Not accessible |
| Fare | $919 to $937 a person | $313 to $356 a person |
For two travellers the private premium is large. For a family of five or a group of friends it narrows, because the per-person fare falls as the group grows. Check your own total before you decide.
Eight hours from your hotel, by public train with your own guide, about 3 hours at the top and half an hour in Lauterbrunnen. $937 a person.
Check availabilitySolo travellers on a budget. A group coach day costs about a third of the price with a guide at the top. The Interlaken to Jungfraujoch tour options start at $313.
Anyone who wants time alone at the top more than a guide. The railway's own ticket gives you 3 hours for $327. See the round trip by train.
Anyone in Lucerne. No private day starts there. The Jungfraujoch tour from Lucerne days are guided coach days from the lakefront.
Private days, group days and the railway's own ticket sit side by side on Jungfraujoch Tours.
