A remarkable route:

Scheidegg - Jungfraujoch - Grindelwald - Interlaken Ost.
This unique round-trip by modern cogwheel
railway takes you first to Kleine Scheidegg, altitude 2061
metres, at the foot of the notorious Eiger North Wall.
From here the Jungfrau Railway climbs to the station at
Eigergletscher , well known for its mountain restaurant and
polar dog kennels.
The trip continues through the Eiger tunnel
to the stations at Eigerwand and Eismeer, with a five minute
halt at each. Enjoy spectacular sightseeing through large
observation windows hewn from solid Alpine rock.
And then the arrival on the Jungfraujoch, in
the heart of a glorious glacier world on the very roof of
Europe! Superb views extend as far as the summits of the Vosges
Mountains in France and the Black Forest in Germany. The Great
Aletsch Glacier, at 22 km the longest ice-stream in the Alps,
begins on the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe.
