Move from Zurich’s ordered streets to the raw ridge-lines of Interlaken and the high summits above Chamonix in 48 hours. This guided two-day route packs Jungfrau, Schilthorn or Harder Kulm and Aiguille du Midi into a compact alpine sampler, finishing with Geneva’s lakeside and Old Town.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The van eases out of Zurich before dawn, the city’s glass and stone slipping behind you as the road climbs toward the first alpine throat. By mid-morning the Green of the Swiss plateau gives way to knife-edged ridges and villages that seem to grow out of steep meadows. You arrive in Interlaken—two lakes pinching either side of the town—and the choices feel elemental: a rack railway that grinds toward Europe’s highest station at Jungfraujoch, a cable car that flings you to Schilthorn’s cinematic cliffs, or a short climb to the Harder Kulm viewpoint that opens the Bernese Oberland like a map.

Reserve your spot on the 2-Day Pass from Zurich to Geneva with Interlaken and Chamonix today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book mountain tickets early
Reserve Jungfraujoch or Aiguille du Midi tickets before your tour date—high-altitude rides sell out or close in bad weather.
Dress in layers
Temperatures can drop sharply above 2,000 m; carry a warm mid-layer and windproof outer even on sunny days.

Layering system (base, mid, shell)

Sturdy shoes for village streets, viewpoints and glacier walkways if you choose to explore.
