Hi there, If I am based the travel tips below. I wonder how much time do I got to spend at each stop like Lauterbrunenn and etc if day trip is six hours. Thanks, Jason From Interlaken Ost, you will take the spectacular railway to Lauterbrunnen, Wengen and Kleine Scheidegg, and finally reach the highest rail station in Europe: the Jungfraujoch. After enjoying the view and the snow up here, you descend back to Kleine Scheidegg. Then you’ll take another route down to Grindelwald, passing the impressive Eiger North face. Alternatively, you can use the quicker Eiger Express cable car from the rail station of Eigergletscher to Grindelwald Terminal in the valley. From Grindelwald, you’ll take a direct train to Interlaken Ost. This day trip takes about 6 hours.

Hi Jason,

A single journey from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. So allow at least 4 hours for the return journey. Most visitors spend at least 1 to 2 hours at the top, so that’s already 6 hours. If your plans are flexible, you could allocate a bit time of time for sightseeing in Lauterbrunnen and Wengen after your visit to Jungfraujoch.

You can find information about how to travel to Jungfraujoch, Wengen and Lauterbrunnen here: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/jungfraujoch/#directions

Anna
