Tour of the Jungfrau Map

The Tour of the Jungfrau is a classic long-distance trekking route through Switzerland's iconic Bernese Oberland, covering approximately 116 km (72 miles) in a circular loop starting and finishing in the beautiful alpine town of Interlaken. Dominated by the legendary trio of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, the route accumulates around 6,000 metres (19,700 ft) of cumulative ascent and descent across stunning Swiss alpine terrain. It offers a superb all-round introduction to trekking in the region, winding through high mountain passes, sweeping alpine meadows, and charming mountain villages. The trek is completed staying in high mountain accommodations and traditional alpine huts along the way.

The Tour of the Jungfrau is a challenging trek with significant daily ascents and descents. It requires good fitness and stamina.

TMB TREK GRADING - GRADE 3: DIFFICULT

Treks are graded 1-4 (low to high) with 1 being relatively easy and 4 being the toughest. The Tour of the Jungfrau is a grade 3 trek. Described as difficult, the Tour of the Jungfrau is hard and physically demanding. You will be travelling over rugged and mountainous terrain with a sustained amount of ascent and descent on a daily basis.

The trek is best done from mid-June to mid-September, when the mountain passes are snow-free and accommodations are open. Early-season treks (June) may have some lingering snow, while late-season treks (September) offer quieter trails and cooler weather.

Breakfast:

This varies depending on accommodation. You can expect at least cereal, milk, break and jam and hot drinks. Our hotels on the treks offer a more substantial breakfast including yogurt, cheeses, cold meats, eggs and pastries.

Picnic lunch:

This is not included and you will need to purchase a picnic to carry with you each day. This is easily bought from local bakeries or supermarkets and when staying in more remote locations it can be ordered from the refuge on the night of arrival. Allow approx. 10 euros each day for your picnic. Make sure you take plenty with you and don’t rely on stopping for lunch en-route. Although on some days this will be possible it’s always good to have your own provisions in case the refuge or café is closed or busy.

Evening meal:

When on the trek, this is always provided and will consist of 3 courses, typically you will have soup or a salad for the starter, a meat or vegetarian option for the main course and a home-made dessert or cheese.
