One the most expensive excursions in Switzerland even with discounts if you have different travel…read morepasses, the Jungfraujoch is seen advertised in many stations and activities. The visitors certainly fit the clientele the ticket price caters to--mainly wealthy international tourists not looking to do any hiking. This is a great excursion for views, experiencing snow, visiting an ice palace, shopping for souvenirs and getting free chocolate, and if you want to spend more than 2 hours, dining at the self serve or special restaurants, all of which have views. It got quite busy and crowded starting around 10 am which was unfortunate, but at least the first part of our tour was fairly peaceful and there were no lines to take pictures at the viewpoints.
To get there, since we stayed in Lauterbrunnen, we rode the train up to Wengen, to Klein Scheidegg, and then the classic red train up to Jungfraujoch. It was quite scenic all the way.
