Trip to the Top of Europe
Today after breakfast you walk to the railway station to begin an exciting train journey to Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe. 

As you make your way to the 'Top of Europe', you experience riding 2 trains with panoramic windows to view the most of the incredible Alpine area. You make the train change in Kleine Scheidegg. The last Kleine Scheidegg - Jungfraujoch cogwheel train partly passes through the tunnel, which was built right across the Eiger rocks at an altitude of 3000 m (9,843 ft). Jungfraujoch is the high-Alpine wonderland of eternal snow and ice*. All this beauty could be marveled at from one of the observation decks located both inside and outside of a 3-story observatory building. 

You can take an interesting walk through the Ice Cave where everything around you is made from ice. The area includes several restaurants, cafés, and shops as well as a place for snow activities to satisfy any taste. 
For the return ride you travel first to Kleine Scheidegg and then back to Lauterbrunnen. You then return to the hotel and have the rest of the day free. 

*Please, note: It is important to wear warm and wind/rain protective clothes when going to Jungfraujoch. The temperature in mountains is usually lower than in the cities even in summer. In case you feel too cold you can always go inside the restaurants which are close to the observation deck.
