The most beautiful trips in autumn

Before the leaves fall from the trees, they turn brightly and our forests are presented in the most beautiful colors. Autumn is the best time to explore the Jungfrau Region. Golden light on freshly snow-covered mountain peaks and plenty of sunbeams. When the valleys sink into a gray, foggy soup, you don’t have to go far to soak up the sun.

How about a family trip to the Schynige Platte? Swiss tradition is very important there. The drive to Schynige Platte alone is an experience. The nostalgic rack railway was built in 1893. In just under an hour, the locomotives, some of which are over 100 years old, take you from Wilderswil up to 1967 meters above sea level. Alphorn players play every day and visitors can then pose with the instrument in front of the mountain backdrop, as if they were professionals themselves.

From there, a wonderful day tour starts for hikers, the ridge hike via Faulhorn to First. It offers a grandiose panoramic view as well as a breathtaking view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau as well as Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. If you have less time, you can start the hike from the First to the Faulhorn and back.

Escape the sea of ​​fog and pour out adrenaline? Adventure seekers can kill two birds with one stone in Grindelwald First, the adventure center in the Jungfrau Region. On the First aviator Up to four people race down the 800 meter long steel cable from First to Schreckfeld at a top speed of 84 km / h. At the First glider You don’t rush sitting down, but rather hanging on your stomach on the rope and head first into the valley. Up to four people hang in a glider that is modeled after an eagle, much like in a delta glider. First the First Glider from Schreckfeld pulls 72 things backwards onto First. On the way back, however, the eagle really takes off. He and his fellow flyers whiz down the 800-meter-long route at speeds of up to 83 kilometers per hour. Well, who dares?

The spectacular First Cliff Walk by Tissot is one of the main reasons why Grindelwald First deserves the title “Top of Adventure”. The footbridge protrudes 45 meters over the steep rocky slopes into nowhere. Directly opposite, three of the world’s most famous mountains tower up: Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

A short detour to Interlaken from Grindelwald is also worthwhile. The funicular takes you up there, further and further towards the sun. In just ten minutes, a spectacular view of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau awaits all guests on Interlaken’s local mountain. You can also marvel at Lake Thun and Lake Brienz from 1,322 meters above sea level. Sunset fans can look forward to daily evening trips and hungry mouths are catered for in the Harder Kulm restaurant with delicious food and a view on the sun terrace.

Escape the dreary gray and immerse yourself in a white world of ice and eternal snow? Especially now in autumn, the view on the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe is incredibly beautiful. We owe this to the golden light that envelops the winter landscape. At 3454 meters above sea level, an unbelievable panorama of the Unesco World Heritage Jungfrau Aletsch and the world of the 4000m peaks awaits. The new Eiger Express takes passengers from the Grindelwald Terminal to the Eigergletscher station in just 15 minutes. From there, the Jungfrau Railway takes you to the Jungfraujoch in 25 minutes. Also to visit: the Alpine Sensation, an adventure world about the history of the construction of the railway and the station. And the Ice Palace offers a view of the Arctic Ocean from below. It is a system of corridors and halls that mountain guides dug deep into the “eternal ice” in the 1930s.
