Wales will end a 58-year absence from a major championship next summer after progressing from the qualifiers despite Saturday's loss to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"This is right up there to be honest, if not above it," said Bale, a European Cup winner with Real Madrid in 2014.
Bale, 26, has also won the Fifa Club World Cup, the Uefa Super Cup and Copa del Rey since joining Madrid for a world record £85.3m fee.
His goal in the Champions League final against Atletico put Real ahead in extra time, as they won 4-1 to secure an unprecedented 10th European Cup.
Bale has played a crucial role in Wales' Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, scoring six and and assisting two of his side's nine goals.
The 2-0 defeat by Bosnia ended Wales' unbeaten run in Group B, and was their first defeat in 11 competitive matches.
And Bale told BBC Wales Sport: "This will probably go down as the best loss in my career. It's obviously something we've been working hard for since I started and credit to all the boys, all the staff and all the fans - it's a moment to enjoy.
"Now we've done it, no matter what way it was, we've crossed the line and we're going to enjoy the occasion."
