JUNGFRAU PEAKS & GLACIERS

This walking holiday explores some of the Alps’ most dramatic scenery. The sheer scale of it is breathtaking: the 4000m peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau cloaked in rolling white glaciers tower magnificently over the Lauterbrunnen Valley, the deepest U-shaped valley in the world, lined with 73 rushing waterfalls.

You’re in for a succession of unique experiences: passing so close to the ice-clad flank of the Mönch you feel you can touch it, rambling through meadows fragrant with wolfsbane, trumpet gentian and purple monkshood, being lulled by the sound of tinkling cowbells and deafened by the thundering power of a corkscrew waterfall, venturing into cool dark gorges and contemplating vast heart-lifting Alpine panoramas.

Where you stay provides some pleasing contrasts: from the disarmingly pretty car-free village of Mürren, to the bustling worldfamous resort of Grindelwald with its two glaciers. Our friendly hoteliers all speak English and are renowned for their excellent cuisine.

The paths and trails are well signposted and waymarked, and nowhere in the Alps is there a better provision of mountain lifts and railways, offering almost unlimited walking choices. Until you have walked in the Jungfrau region you haven’t experienced the best that the Alps have to offer.
