We join the Wengernalp Railway’s modern electric multiple unit train at Lauterbrunnen for the breathtakingly beautiful trip to Kleine Scheidegg, first climbing past pretty villages and wooded slopes before bursting out from the shade of the trees into bright sunlight as our climb continues, with amazing vistas of the snow covered mountains on one side and deep valleys on the other. Grab a coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy the ride.

    Thanks for this video, a truly wonderful reminder of the journey I did several times 2 years ago when staying in Grindelwald . It is equally spectacular the reverse way. Really good to see it in autumn. Thanks again

    I think this has got to be the best YT 'cab ride' upload I've seen. For two main reasons, this train journey is particularly dear to me, given that I undertook the journey in the summer of 1970, as a visiting boy scout. And because it is a stunning video presentation. (THUMBS UPPED/Subscribed). Switzerland is uberclean. It was then, it still looks it now. Such a stunning vista, as one climbs up the Lauterbraunnen valley, dominated by the Jungfrau, then a few tunnels, Wengen (Swiss Army Knives) and then the turn, Jungfrau-jock, further ascending the valley and then another turn east and the sun-lit, south western face of the magnificent Eiger swings into view. And that north face, forever in shade, standing like lone canine tooth. As one arrives at Kliene Scheideg, another rail can be seen to the right, moving off up the spine of hill towards the base of mighty Eiger. This I recall is the 'mountain rail' that takes climbers up to the 'Sphinx' restaurant that sits atop the Jungfrau-joch, between the Grand Jungrau and the forboding Eiger. The narrow gauge, gear--assisted, railway continues up at a steep incline and through the Eiger itself, whereby it finally terminates at the Jungfrau-Joch station, where steps take one up to the Sphinx observatory/restaurant. Anyone who has seen the 'Eiger Sanction' (Clint Eastwood - George Kennedy) will recognise the railway towards the end of the movie. A truly remarkable holiday for an eleven year old and an equally memorable video tribute. Many thanks!
