Quick Facts
About This Journey
The Jungfrau Railway is one of Switzerland's greatest engineering achievements, taking passengers from Kleine Scheidegg (2,061m) to Jungfraujoch (3,454m) — the highest railway station in Europe. The 9.3-kilometer journey tunnels directly through the heart of the Eiger and Mönch mountains.
At the top, visitors step onto the Sphinx observation platform for panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier (the longest in the Alps), cross a year-round snow field, visit the Ice Palace carved inside the glacier, and enjoy the highest-altitude restaurant in Switzerland.
