About Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
Grindelwald
Jungfraujoch, known as the “”Top of Europe,”” is a famous mountain destination in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland. At an elevation of 3,454 metres above sea level, it is home to Europe’s highest railway station. The Jungfrau Railway, which took over a decade to complete and opened in 1912, offers a scenic journey through tunnels carved into the Eiger and Mönch mountains, eventually arriving at the Jungfraujoch saddle. From the top, you are treated to stunning panoramic views of the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in the Alps, stretching over 20 kilometres. To reach Jungfraujoch , take the Eiger Express tricable gondola from Grindelwald Terminal to Eigergletscher, followed by the Jungfrau Railway to the summit. The journey offers breathtaking views of the Eiger North Face and the surrounding alpine scenery.
