Skiing at Lauberhorn and lunch on Jungfraujoch: Holders of a Grindelwald-Wengen Winter Sportpass of three days validity, can buy a connecting ticket to the Top of Europe for 49 francs from Saturday, 10 December.

At the plateau, you can also expect the highest altitude Christmas tree in Europe of this size.
