Greetings my beloved chewys! This will be our last post on Switzerland! Hurray! Again, we booked a tour with Viator and this time to Jungfraujoch. This place is definitely a must-visit for any traveller planning a trip to Switzerland because it is the only way to experience being on top of Europe, at more than 4000m above sea level. No trip to Switzerland is ever complete without a trip to Jungfraujoch! 😉
I think we were given about 40 minutes to take photos, buy souvenirs and do whatever business that we had to do during our short stopover at Interlaken.
This shot totally cracked us up big time. It’s either I’m really too heavy or misterchewy couldn’t handle my weight. I also wanna add that I was carrying my bag which was quite heavy. Lololol.
On board the railway train! We had to take two different trains and we spent more than 2 hours travelling, which was really quite tiring.
Enjoyed the beautiful views on the way up!
Just look! Breathtaking or what!
The husband commented that these houses look like gingerbread houses with cream on top. Hahaha 😛
We alighted at Eigerwand railway station as we were given about 5 minutes to snap photos.
Isn’t this mad pretty?! I could just stand there and look at this forever but of course we only had 5 minutes. LOLOLOL.
At Eismeer railway station.
Eismeer translates to ‘sea of ice’. Gorgeous view of the glacier.
We were disappointed that we were given only about a couple of hours on The Jungfrau! It is the third highest mountain of the Bernese Alps and it is very very steep. This photo was taken after we had our yummy lunch at the cafeteria! 🙂 But this is not the highest point yet!
Dont see us look like very steady like that.. We were totally freezing in the cold! The wind was blowing straight into our faces and we just couldnt wait to get back indoors!
During our trip, we were crazy over buying snow globes to add to our small humble collection whenever it snowed and we were thrilled to see this ginormous thing! 😀
Inside the Ice Palace!
We started to panic when we realized we were running out of time to meet the tour guide at the designated area because this was the highlight of the trip! So no jump shots this time. Hahaha.
I posted this photo not for you to laugh at me hor, but to show you how freaking windy it was on the top of Jungfrau! I was like.. Ahhh my hair my hair!
Mandatory shot with the Swiss flag! 🙂 This is our only one without all the extra ppl behind us. LOL.
A kiss from my favorite boy on top of Europe! :333
One last photo before we ran down (the stairs la duh) to meet the rest to board the train!
When we finally reached Interlaken, we were greeted by a beautiful view of the north face of the Eiger.
Thanks to a lovely Singaporean young couple who helped us with this shot! We started chatting happily and shared each other’s travel plans while on our journey back to Zurich 🙂
Hehe that’s all folks! Hope you enjoyed our Switzerland travelogues! Stay connected with us on Facebook www.facebook.com/missuschewy and on Instagram @missuschewy and @misterchewy 😀
ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN! Damn nice laa! I must show this to kai!
Can start planning!
Love ur Switzerland photo so much. Make me miss my winter holiday :((
u sponsor my trip i bring u to switzerland haha
Looks like the snow has started to melt. Went there in Dec 2012 to Kleine Scheidegg(just below Jungfrau). It was all ‘black and white’ – snowing. Wonderful place but too cold (-15 to -20) and dangerous (avalanche). Glad to be back alive =)
Totally understand what u mean abt the beautiful views! Can’t get this in SG. Time to save up again =)! Did you go free and easy?
You are real fast in posting your trip out. I am still writing mine. Filter through so many photos. I am only going to start to publish my posts on my europe trip tonight. (so slow hor!) =S
Our entire trip was meant to be free and easy but we figured that going up to Jungfrau on our own might prove to be too difficult so we booked a day tour with Viator. Haha fast meh? I tot i’m very slow liao 😛 Cool! Will drop by your blog!
haha. Much faster than me! =)
Do u still have d link for d day trip tour agency for Jungfraujoch?
Many thanks

Hi, nice post on the trip/places.
Is the tour departed from Zurich? is it covered all the train tickets to the hill top or we need to pay separately?
reason asking because I am considering to do Jungfrau tour from Zurich, or stay at Interlaken for a day before going up the hill.
Yes depart from Zurich and the tickets are all covered!
thanks 🙂
