Eiger Express Gondola from Grindelwald Terminal to Eigergletscher | Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe

The new Eiger Express tricable car will take you from Grindelwald to the Eiger Glacier station in just 15 minutes. With a direct transfer option, you will be on the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe and on the slopes 47 minutes faster than before.

The tricable car system combines all the advantages of the aerial gondola and the funicular. Due to the double carrier cable, it can be run across great lengths with a small number of support towers while still being very stable in the wind. For the Eiger Express, only seven support towers have to be built over the entire length of 6,483 metres. This preserves the landscape and no forest paths are required.

The tricable technology is the only ropeway system that harmoniously blends the desired transport needs with the demand for minimal intervention in nature. Although it is much more expensive to buy than an aerial tramway, the advantages in terms of nature and operation justify these higher costs.

If you have Vertigo or fear of heights, please don't ride this, take the classic train route instead. I have vertigo and I had a terrible time riding this.
