There is joy in the Jungfrau region! The Eiger Express will open on December 5, 2020, the new Jungfrau railways masterpiece that will take guests to the Eiger Glacier in no time. “Our guests can reach Eigergletscher station from the Grindelwald terminal in just 15 minutes,” says Jungfrau Railways Director Urs Kessler. “In a quarter of an hour it rises from 943 meters to 2320 meters.”

The Eiger Express completes the V-Bahn project, which also includes the new Männlichenbahn that opened a year ago, as well as the ultra-modern terminal in Grindelwald with its wide range of business opportunities, from where both trains depart. With these spectacular innovations, guests can reach the ski area and the Jungfraujoch 47 minutes faster from all Swiss cities. The Jungfrau ski region returns to the winter sports Champions League. “The Eiger Express will be very spectacular for both winter and summer tourism,” confirms Kessler.

Be a VIP for once

And this historic moment must be properly celebrated. Jungfrau Railways has therefore come up with something special for the maiden voyage of the Eiger Express cabins: As a BLICK reader, you can be there exclusively!

As part of an online auction, you can purchase a one-day tour that includes a VIP trip for a total of six with Jungfrau Railways Director Urs Kessler and former Federal Councilor Adolf Ogi (78), and become yourself in a VIP: as the first guest on the golden gondola. Float to the spectacular Eiger North Face, chat with two illustrious personalities over coffee and champagne in the exclusive lounge – an invaluable experience for you and your family, your friends or your teammates at the office!

The start in Grindelwald is at 7.45am, just at dawn. After reaching the Eiger glacier, the next highlight awaits you: the train continues to the Jungfraujoch, where an excellent lunch is served after the breathtaking view of the mountain panorama of the Bernese Oberland and Valais, as well as the Aletsch glacier.
