Tour of the Jungfrau Region describes a terrific 9-12 day trek among some of the most spectacular and best-loved mountain scenery in the Swiss Alps. It's a trek destined to become one of the classic walks of Europe.
Beginning with a steep funicular ride from Wilderswil (near Interlaken) to Schynige Platte, this brand new tour makes a horseshoe loop from hut to hut (or mountain inn to mountain inn), in the shadow of such iconic Oberland mountains as Wetterhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Tour of the Jungfrau Region goes to the very head of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, crosses a lofty ridge with a 360 degree panorama to savour, and makes a traverse of the Schilthorn - up the west ridge, over the summit and down the east ridge - before heading north through pastures full of flowers in early summer, and fruiting shrubs in autumn.
Not only is Tour of the Jungfrau Region a great trek with extraordinary views, the variety of atmospheric and romantically sited accommodation on offer adds to the experience and ensures that memories will remain vivid for years after.
The Tour of the Jungfrau Region guidebook offers many bad-weather alternatives and options to suit walkers of all abilities. So what's stopping you . . . ?
