Which is better, Jungfrau or First for the scenery?

I'm planning to enjoy the scenery. Which is better, Jungfrau or only Kleine Scheidegg or First (not activity)?
The Jungfrau is too expensive.
I am planning to go to Stoos Fronalpstock.
I have been to Mount Rigi and Schilthorn.

I preferred the views from First. You have the mountains right in front of you, vs below you.

Jungfraujoch has the view of the Aletsch Glacier and Kleine Scheidegg. I enjoyed the zipline at First along with the cliff walk.

I would put Schynige Platte over Stoos ridge hike.

Titlis has an ice cave, rotating cable car and lake Trubsee and I would place the experience above First.

You can't go wrong with any of them. Weather plays a big part in what to choose for the day.

When are you going? I like mannlichen, especially if the cows are up there.

I can't go to Schynige Platte and Männlichen because I'm going at the end of May.
Would it be a good idea to go to Stoos Fronalpstock and Titlis?
Or would it be enough to just go to Stoos and Fronalpstock?

The Grindelwald-Männlichen Gondola and the aerial cableway Wengen-Männlichen both start operating on May 24th. It is a great place to go for views, but the walk down to Kleine Scheidegg will not be open yet.

I haven’t been to Stoos or Fronalpstock. So, I’m no help there.

Mt. Titlis is a good option. Although if it’s cloudy, you won’t have very good views. That happened to me last year. I prefer the lower elevation mountains like Männlichen and Rigi, but that’s just me.

There is more to see at Titlis than Stoos. Titlis starting with the train to Engelberg, up the mountain and a stop at Trubsee provides a lot to do. Look at some Stoos videos, there is either fog on the mountain or on the lake in several videos. If you decide on Stoos, try to include a boat ride in the trip.

Plan for both and chose the one when you are there. Weather is a major factor.

Thank you so much for your response. I definitely have to see Titlis.
