Travel Vlog #96 | Jungfraujoch, Switzerland
We're back in Switzerland's Jungfrau region, and today we're visiting the HIGHEST railway in all of Europe - Jungfraujoch! This impressive railway station is 3,454 m above sea level and takes over two hours to reach from Interlaken.
We start our journey to Jungfraujoch by riding the train from Interlaken to Grindelwald, where we switch over to the new (and very impressive) Eiger Express. This cable car opened in 2021 and is 6,483 m long. It only takes 15 minutes to reach the Eigergletscher station, instead of 45 minutes, which is how long it takes to ride the train from Grindelwald to Eigergletscher.
This cable car is extremely nice and offers outstanding views of the area, but we also love the nostalgia and experience of taking the train. You can't go wrong either way!
After arriving in Eigergletscher, we boarded the Jungfraubahn to the top of Europe!! This train is the gateway to Jungfraujoch and is only accessible with a special ticket or the Top of Europe pass (which is what we have). To do this entire trip from Interlaken will cost over $200 per person, so we recommend buying a Swiss travel pass to help with costs.
Once at the top, there's plenty of activities! We visited the ice palace, Alpine sensation, chocolate heaven, and more!
You could easily spend all day here, so plan on this being a full day excursion, especially if there's nice weather out.
Our route down was a bit different than on the way up. We went down via Grindelwald Terminal, but then connected on to Mannlichen and Wengen again - this time for giant chess.
For dinner tonight we had our favorite budget meal - pasta! Swiss grocery store prices are similar to other cities, so this is the most affordable option for food.
Stick around until the end to see some chocolate tasting and bloopers :)
thanks for watching!

We're Ashley & Christian, a mid-20’s couple on a mission to visit every country in the world! We’re not sure yet exactly what this looks like, but we’d love for you to come along through our videos!
We've backpacked Europe and Mexico, driven cross-country in the US, lived van life in Iceland, hiked through Banff in Canada, visited 2 continents in one day in Turkey, explored the end of the world - Patagonia, taken cruises, and much more - planned all on our own!
We'll be uploading the vlogs from our trips, FAQs about frequent travel, packing videos, how to plan your own trips, etc. We want to show YOU how to travel the world (on a budget!)
While we currently work (mostly) full-time jobs to support our passion, we will be working towards a year of FULL-TIME travel in the future!
Follow us on our adventures!
