JUNGFRAUJOCH

Famous for being one of the highest accessible points in Europe, Jungfraujoch lies at a height of 3,463 meters above sea level. This iconic destination in Switzerland is a must visit for the state of the art rail ride, some of the most spectacular views, and lovely ice sculptures at chilling temperatures.

This is one of the best places to visit in Switzerland especially for the spectacular train journey that takes you to the ‘Top of Europe’. Known primarily for the observation terrace and scientific observatory that is perched at a height of almost 3,500 meters above sea level, Jungfraujoch offers the most amazing views of the snow covered mountains and glaciers. This is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the longest glacier in Europe, the Great Aletsch Glacier starting at Jungfraujoch. Including Jungfraujoch in your Switzerland trip packages ensures an alpine adventure with panoramic vistas that define the beauty of Switzerland.

It is a very popular base for adventurous activities into the surrounding mountains particularly for the presence of the oldest Swiss resort, the Grindelwald glacier village. Above the picturesque Alpine valleys, you can witness the tiara-shaped Wetterhorn and the north face of the Eiger looming above. These are known as the most strenuous mountain climbs in the whole world. You can trek up to Faulhorn from here for the best views of the giant peaks.
