Best day hikes and mountain excursions in Zermatt and the Jungfrau Region

We rate this trip as moderate but also adaptable to those who want easier or longer hikes on some days. Please note that the stats listed on the itinerary can vary, depending on the guide and desires of our hikers. You should be capable of walking 4 to 6 hours per day on well-groomed and graded trails at an elevation up to 9,000 feet above sea level. On one day a mountain railway takes you to an elevation of 11,400 feet to the Jungfraujoch.
We wanted to take our family for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to an unforgettable location, and this trip more than fulfilled our expectations. - G.C. - Utah
Plan now for your coming summer vacation! Explore the two most picturesque corners of the Alps— The Jungfrau and Zermatt. Hiking in the Jungfrau and Zermatt gives you the best the Alps have to offer. Zermatt lies at the base of the Matterhorn, the most recognizable peak in the world, while the Jungfrau region is dominated by the North Face of the Eiger, one of the most spectacular and formidable mountain landscapes on earth. The ideal spots for the perfect hiking tour in the Swiss Alps.
Cable ascents and cogwheel railroads will take you from the valley floor in Zermatt, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunnen to breathtaking alpine settings. Invigorating day hikes and excursions lead you past glistening lakes and underground waterfalls.
We’ve thought of every detail to make this a perfect trip. You’ll stay in charming local inns, dine on scrumptious meals, and enjoy the services of an expert hiking guide throughout this tour.
