Things to do in Switzerland's Jungfrau Region

  • The Northface Trail - This is the prettiest hike I have ever done. It starts and ends in Murren and isn’t too strenuous. You’ll see gorgeous scenery at every turn and maybe run into some cows and even a St. Bernard. It doesn’t get more quintessentially Switzerland than that!

  • Schilthorn - One of the tallest peaks in the region. James Bond was filmed here in 1969! You can take a cable car to get there from Murren.

  • Grindelwald - A cute town with shops, restaurants, hotels and of course, amazing views.

  • Murren - A small town on the edge of a mountain that has hotels, a couple shops and restaurants and is the starting point for hikes and transport to other areas. A great place to base yourself in the region.

  • Jungfraujoch - One of the highest peaks in Europe and a must-see in the region. You take a gondola and then a train to get there. It will be the highlight of your trip!

  • Birg Thrill Walk - Platforms and ladders are attached to the side of the mountain with amazing views. You can stop here on your way to Schilthorn.

  • Panorama Trail - One of the best hikes in the region. It isn’t too strenuous and takes about an hour and a half.

  • Eiger Trail - Another beautiful hike that is 4.5 miles long and mostly downhill.

  • Paragliding is also available in Interlaken and Murren if you are a thrill seeker!
