Mönch and Jungfrau
We climb the two 4000m peaks of the world-famous trilogy Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. On the first day we climb the Mönch 4107m via the southeast ridge. After spending the night at the Mönchsjoch hut, the Jungfrau 4158m is our goal for the next day. Two exciting days await us!

Day 1: Ascent via the southeast ridge to the Mönch 4107m
Meet your guide at Grindelwald Terminal and make your way to the Jungfraujoch. You will begin your hike in the direction of the Mönchsjoch hut and quickly your ascent route along the southeast ridge will come into view. The lower section of the climb will lead you to the rain gauge, and from there you will easily climb to the first snow ridge. From here you will be rewarded with spectacular views to the north. You will continue your ascent to the pre-summit, where the east face of the Mönch dominates the view. You’ll carefully continue over the last narrow snow ridge and climb to the snow-covered summit. The view offered by the Mönch summit is expansive, and you’ll overlook the entire Swiss midland. You’ll descend along the same route. At the Mönchsjoch hut we relax and get ready for the next day.
Day 2: Ascent to the Jungfrau 4158m
Early in the morngin, we start our tour to the Jungfrau. Past the Jungfraujoch, we descend a little before the harder and more difficult part begins. Step by step, we ascent to the col Rottal. After a short break, we continue on some steeper firn sections mixed with some climbing parts. Soon after, we are at the top! The view is breathtaking, the mountain guide explains the different mountains we see before we start descending back. A short uphill part to the train station Jungfraujoch finishes our unforgettable trip!
