GRJ All Inclusive Jungfrau Express in Winter

Great Rail Journeys operates this seven-day escorted winter tour departing from London St Pancras and ending in Lausanne, traveling through France and Switzerland by Eurostar, TGV, and the Jungfrau Express. The group spends five nights in the Swiss village of Wilderswil, using it as a base for excursions into the Bernese Oberland. After an overnight in Strasbourg to break the journey from London, travellers ascend the Jungfrau Express through tunnels carved into the Eiger and Mönch mountains to Jungfraujoch, Europe's highest railway station, where the Sphinx Observatory overlooks the Aletsch Glacier. Day trips by rail visit the resort town of Interlaken and the mountain village of Grindelwald beneath the Eiger's north face. The tour includes a UK Tour Manager, accommodation in a three-star hotel, all meals, drinks with dinner each evening, and a Swiss Half Fare Card for free-day rail travel. It suits couples and repeat rail travellers seeking a guided, all-inclusive journey with plenty of time in one location.
