Full Day Private Tour from Zurich to Jungfrau and Interlaken
Europe's highest railway station, alpine valleys, and a lakeside town, all in one private day trip.
This private Zurich to Jungfrau and Interlaken tour takes you on a 10-hour journey through some of Switzerland's most celebrated landscapes, from the soaring heights of Jungfraujoch to the serene shores of Interlaken. Your dedicated chauffeur collects you directly from your hotel, so logistics remain simple from the first moment. Every stop is curated to offer genuine alpine experiences without the effort of coordinating public transport.
The journey unfolds across three distinct environments: the valley village of Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, the icy summit world of Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres, and the relaxed resort town of Interlaken. Each location presents a different face of the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland's most iconic mountain region. Travelling privately means you set the pace and linger where the scenery moves you.
Jungfraujoch is the centrepiece of the day. Reached by a historic cogwheel train that tunnels through the Eiger, the summit hosts the Sphinx Observation Deck, the Ice Palace carved entirely from glacial ice, and the Snow Park. The Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven exhibit adds a distinctly Swiss cultural layer to the high-altitude experience.
Interlaken provides a gentle counterpoint after the mountain drama. Positioned between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and surrounded by three towering peaks, the town offers a pleasant mix of Swiss architecture, local food, and well-stocked boutiques. Two hours here gives enough time to walk the main promenade, sample regional specialities, and pick up a few souvenirs before the return drive to Zurich.

Itinerary
Your private chauffeur arrives at your Zurich hotel to begin the day. The drive south through the Swiss Mittelland towards the Bernese Oberland takes approximately two hours, offering views of rolling countryside and distant peaks along the way.
You arrive in one of two classic alpine gateway villages, each set within dramatic valley scenery. From here, you board the cogwheel train that begins the ascent toward Jungfraujoch through the heart of the Eiger mountain.
Two hours at the summit allow you to visit the Sphinx Observation Deck, walk through the Ice Palace, explore the Snow Park, and stop at the Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven exhibit. The views across the Aletsch Glacier are among the most striking in the Alps.
The train returns you to the valley, and your chauffeur is waiting for the short 20-minute drive to Interlaken. The transition from high alpine terrain to a lakeside town happens quickly and contrasts the mountain experience effectively.
Two hours of unstructured time in Interlaken let you explore the Hohematte promenade, browse local shops, or sample Swiss cuisine at a restaurant of your choice. The town's setting between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz gives it a calm, scenic quality.
Your chauffeur drives you back to Zurich, completing the approximately 10-hour round trip. Drop-off is at your hotel, making the end of the day as straightforward as the beginning.
