«With the V-Bahn project in Grindelwald, the Jungfrau Railway aims to return to the Champions League,” announced Urs Kessler, CEO of the publicly listed railway company, not long ago. This includes new, fast gondola lifts, efficient feeder railways, and a modern transfer terminal with parking, shops, and dining facilities. The project also features the so-called Platinum Club. Members are allowed to board the VIP gondola and have access to an exclusive lounge. Instead of queuing at the base station, members enjoy complimentary refreshments in an Alpine-Chic ambiance and pass the time until the VIP gondola arrives.»
