Icy Air On The Top Of Europe At
Jungfraujoch
Would you like to experience snow no matter the season? Then, you shouldn’t miss Jungfraujoch in your trip itinerary. The magnificent peak offers unforgettable views of pristine glaciers and scenic valleys. The train journey to the top is an experience in itself, passing through tunnels and alpine landscapes.
Basic Information
Jungfraujoch is a mountain saddle located among 4,000-meter peaks right between the cantons of Valais and Bern. You can get up to 3,454 m by train from Interlaken which makes Jungfraujoch station the highest in Europe. Viewing platform at Sphinx Observatory offers splendid views of Europe’s longest glacier.

Grindelwald
Glancing from a window, you can see nature turning rockier as the train leaves green valley behind and heads up to white areas. With only 2 changes and a short stop in a tunnel, you get to Jungfraujoch in less than 2 hours from Interlaken-Ost station.
Above The Clouds
Top Of Europe
The viewing platform at Sphinx Observatory is located at 3,454 m between Jungfrau and Mönch mountains and offers splendid views at the valleys to the north and the Aletsch Glacier to the south. Inside, I recommend enjoying a cup of true Swiss hot chocolate.

Shiny Treasures
Ice Palace
Another great way to spend your time at Jungfraujoch, especially with kids, is by visiting a frozen world. Sliding through long tunnels of mirroring ice, you meet eagles, penguins or even bears appearing almost natural.
Opět skvělé záběry, nádhera 🙂
