Join us in an unforgettable trek through the Jungfrau region of Switzerland, home of some of the most famous alpine peaks in Europe. According to Kev Reynolds, the pre-eminent alpine travel writer of our times, "The view from Schynige Platte is one of the finest in all the Alps... it includes the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.... Much of this backdrop forms part of a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, the first in the Alps to be granted this status, in recognition of the extraordinary beauty of its landscape." The Jungfrau region itself is located approximately halfway between Geneva and Zürich. The well-known resort towns of Grindelwald, Mürren, Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken have been attracting visitors since the birth of alpine tourism in the 18th century. Our journey will maximize our exposure to the natural beauty of the region as we hike day by day through this enchanting region. We will stay in hostels, hotels, and mountain huts similar to those of the AMC, with the important difference that they all serve wine and beer and most have hot showers.
