For me, it really comes down to the weather.
If it looks sunny and clear skies first thing in the morning go right away. Otherwise I’d wait and see if it looks better in the afternoon. If you are going to go to Jungfraujoch regardless then stick to your early morning plan I think.

I would go first thing in the morning as soon as the weather was clear. But if you think u can beat the crowds you are wrong . I took a 8am train from kleine scheidegg there were ppl who did not get seats (me included ) then they made us sit in the vacant seats in the reserved compartment. And many had to wait for the 8 30 train.
But by going first thing in the morning you can save money I bought a good morning ticket for 85 chf with half fare card from lauterbrunnen to jungfrajoch to grindewald .
If you really want to do the hike go to jungfraujoch in the morning and then do the hike on your way back. Sure the views are behind you but it’s better than not doing it at all.

i think if you cant beat the crowds anyway then we might stick to the original plan and attempt to go from KS at around lunchtime.
