This is a great family activity in one of the most spectacular areas in Europe. This hike down the Aletschgletscher, Europe’s largest glacier, is situated in an area that is one of UNESCO’s Greatest Natural Wonders of the World. You take a famously scenic train ride from Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen up to the highest train station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch, at 3454 m or 11333 ft. Then you enjoy a leisurely hike down the glacier safely on a rope, under the care of an excellent guide. Overnight we stay in one of the many luxury Swiss alpine huts, where you enjoy a hearty Swiss meal served by the hut keeper and his family while you watch the sun set over the Alps. The next morning we hike down to a Swiss village called Fiesch, where we take the train back to Interlaken. This 2-day glacier hike requires no skills other than being able to walk for 5 hours a day in mountain/hiking boots. This is the perfect activity for families or friends to round out a Swiss vacation.
