How to choose

  • First time in Switzerland, based in Zurich: the guided day trip; accept short stops.
  • Staying in Interlaken or Lauterbrunnen: go by train, then add a tour only for the Jungfraujoch or a flight.
  • Small group or children: a private driver (this listing has only 7 reviews, so read it carefully).
  • Flying over the falls: paragliding is weather dependent and has age and weight rules set by the operator; read the listing.

Book flexible-cancellation options when the forecast is uncertain: the valley can be clear while the Jungfraujoch is in cloud, and vice versa.

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit Lauterbrunnen on a day trip from Zurich?

Yes. There are guided full-day trips from Zurich that combine Grindelwald, Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. A coach trip gives you only limited time at each stop, so check the itinerary for how long you get at the falls.

Is a tour worth it for Staubbach Falls?

Staubbach Falls is free and next to the station, so on its own you do not need a tour. Tours make sense for transport from Zurich, a guide, or activities such as paragliding.

Is there a day trip to the Jungfraujoch?

Yes, a guided tour from Interlaken to the Jungfraujoch has 4.8/5 from 1,904 reviews on GetYourGuide (November 2026).
