Welcome to the Jungfrau Region, and get ready for 5 days of fun filled and memorable experiences!

If you are coming in from Zurich, the fastest option (2h 11 mins) is to take the train directly from Zurich Airport towards Interlaken Ost with a transfer in between at Bern.

Alternatively, if you are starting this itinerary from somewhere else in Switzerland like Lucerne, it is ideal for you to take the paranomic Lucerne-Interlaken express that allows you to enjoy scenic train views along the way.

Upon your arrival, you can either choose to rest, or already begin your adventure with an exhilarating paragliding experience from Harder Kulm, one of Interlaken's iconic peaks and take in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys

.As the day draws to a close, witness a mesmerizing sunset from the summit of Harder Kulm while enjoying a classic cheese fondue dinner. Alternatively, head to Aare Korean Barbecue Restaurant, one of the best Korean restaurants in the region!
