Best mnt top to visit

I'm interested in visiting the best top of the mountain in Switzerland.
What would you recommend?

I was considering going to the "top of europe" but I want to make sure I'm using my money wisely and for the best place.

It will be both my wife and I and we both have the Half price card.
And we would go either this coming weekend or next weekend.

The "best" mountain top experience would be the mountain that's currently not socked in with clouds and/or snow. The Half Fare Card is the perfect choice for visiting those mountain tops with its 50% discount.

Jungfrau is a steong contender for "best." Check weather reports first!

Hi Glen - It really will depend on the weather. We stayed in Murren the beginning of June in 2013. I was out walking early in am (6ish) and it was clear. Talked to a local who said it was only going to be clear for a short time so if we wanted to go when the views where good we would have to go early! We took the Schilthorn (sp?) cable car up on the early bird special, which was the cheapest. It was clear for a very short time. We walked around on deck, saw the views, threw some snowballs, and then went into the revolving restaurant to have a coffee as it was already starting to cloud over. We took the cable car back down to the valley floor and went to Trummelbach falls. The next day we did the "Top of Europe" Jungfrau and it was beautiful all day. My husband and son walked out to the flag and it is their "bragging" picture!

Hi glen. I have been to the top of Mt. Titlis and the schilthorn. Both are beautiful. The schilthorn is in a stunning valley and Mt. Titlis in a wide flat valley. For beauty I would recommend the schilthorn because the location is stunning. As a previous poster has said it all depends on the weather.

My. Titlis is fun because the Gondola rotates on the way up and the view is really cool. There is a lot to do in the valley.
