If you can only visit Switzerland once, you must hike the Jungfrau.
🌟[Top of Europe]🌟
In the Swiss Alps, there is a place that captivates the imagination - the Jungfrau, at an altitude of 4,158 meters. It is the "roof" of Europe and a sacred place in the hearts of countless travelers. Let's embark on this unforgettable journey together!
📍**Location Information**
The Jungfrau is located in the Bernese Oberland, about 18 km southeast of Interlaken. It spans the cantons of Bern and Valais and is part of the Bernese Alps.
✨**Attraction Introduction**
The Jungfrau is renowned for its spectacular natural scenery, offering views of rolling mountains, deep valleys, and the longest glacier in Europe - the Aletsch Glacier. From the observation deck at the summit, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the majestic Alps.
🚞**Transportation Guide**
- **How to Get to the Jungfrau:**
- From Interlaken, take the Golden Pass Line or Bernina Express to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald.
- Then transfer to the Jungfrau Railway, a historic cogwheel railway that takes you through mountain tunnels to the summit.
- **Suggested Itinerary:**
- Depart from Interlaken in the morning, transfer to the Jungfrau Railway at Kleine Scheidegg, passing the foot of the Eiger and Mönch peaks.
- Upon arrival at the Jungfrau station, visit the "Alpine Sensation" circular corridor to learn about the history of the railway and the magnificent scenery of the Alps.
- Don't miss the ice sculpture exhibition in the Ice Palace and the outdoor snow hiking.
🏨**Accommodation Recommendations**
- **Interlaken**: Located on the way to the Jungfrau, there are many hotels and inns to choose from. We recommend the Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa, a five-star luxury hotel with an excellent location and comfortable accommodations.
- **Lauterbrunnen**: If you want to be closer to nature, you can stay in Lauterbrunnen. The Hotel Belvédère is a good choice, offering traditional Swiss-style rooms and beautiful mountain views.
🏞️**Nearby Attractions**
- **Schilthorn**: From Mürren, take the cable car to the top of Schilthorn, the filming location of the 007 movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," which also features a revolving restaurant.
- **Lauterbrunnen Valley**: Home to 72 famous waterfalls, the most famous of which is Staubbach Falls.
- **Grindelwald**: A charming Swiss town where you can enjoy skiing or summer paragliding.

Swiss small poor travel! Money-saving strategy!
1
Who says Switzerland is not fun in winter!! It's too beautiful! There are snow mountains and greenery
This time I spent about 7k RMB in total (see the last picture)
Play: Use Interlaken as a transit station, and return to a place every day. The advantage of this is that it is very flexible. Everyone knows that Swiss weather depends on luck. In this way, you only need to decide where to go according to the weather of the day
Transportation
The plane was bought more than a month in advance. Zurich to go, Geneva to return
Local transportation decisively swiss pass, very fragrant, tired can take the bus at any time, golden train to see where good can get off directly
Hotel
Living in the small town of Wilderswil, which is only 6 minutes away from Interlaken train, you can also take the bus from Interlaken ost. There is not much to eat in the town, usually buy in Interlaken. But the town has no light pollution and is very quiet, the stars are super good at night! The hotel faces the Jungfrau, and the snow mountain is just outside the window when the weather is good
Exchange money
Just find a UBS and settle in francs is the real-time exchange rate. One of my great pleasures in Switzerland is to compare the exchange rates in various places, really only UBS has no handling fee
Play
1 Day 1: Play in Zurich, stay in Interlaken on the same day. Zurich train station can store bags, there are many notes can be flipped. It was New Year's Eve that day, and the town's fireworks were quite good
2 Day 2: Interlaken round trip Zermatt (Matterhorn). The weather is super good, but my friends and I have high anti. The winter reflection there is frozen and covered by snow, and it is very dangerous to go there without professional shoes, I suggest everyone to consider life safety
3 Day 3: Interlaken - Golden Train Lucerne - Rigi. Rigi is really beautiful, although it is cloudy, it may be my favorite mountain, if conditions permit, take a cruise is great!4 Day 4: Interlaken round trip Grindelwald (First Mountain and Dream Slope), stay in Geneva at night. The paragliding and projects were cancelled due to the strong wind that day, but the scenery is really good. Remember to check the last cable car down the mountain time

Top of Europe: Snow, Sculptures, Slopes
Hop on a train to reach Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, without the huffing and puffing! The air thins as you head up the mountain so take note not to over exert yourself.
The ice palace with beautiful ice sculptures is fascinating to visit, especially if you are from the tropics like me! Walking in the snow is fun but watch out for slippery ice as you queue to take a pic with Swiss flag. The view is breathtaking and it is COLD! Sunnies are really helpful with the blinding snow. Something special to do would be to video call your loved ones and show them the Top of Europe ❤️
There are a couple of eateries and a variety of shops if you are looking for Swiss gifts and keepsakes. The Top of Europe pass entitles you to some discount here.
Opt for the gondolas as you head down to Grindelwald first where you can get a cuppa hot (Lindt) chocolate: it’s amazingly good! That was our ‘cherry on top’ to complete this unique adventure.
My #2023travelwish is to bring my friends on a trip to New Zealand’s South Island to explore the glaciers and look out for wild life.

#skiadventure
Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe - is easily accessible by cable car, cogwheel trains via Grindelwald, or via Lauterbrunnen-Wengen.
It was not cheap to visit but it was all worth it. The view was scenic, and it has a viewing point in the Bernese Alps, at an altitude of 3,454 m.
Plan your trip carefully and refer to the weather forecast before you purchase your tickets.
A winter wonderland to be at!

Special place with our first snow experience
It is an wonderful experience coming up here without doing a the hiking as people in the past did. The train ride was very comfortable and we were able to see the transformation from green valey ro snow-slope and snowy mountain. The moment we reached the top, the view was absolutely amazing. The snow was so fine to touch and the sky was so blue. Recommended to bring sunglasses as it is very glaring.

beautiful view
A trip to the top of Europe is highly recommended. only access to the top is by train . train ticket itself is on the high price but it totally worth it consider the view and experience you will be getting will be price less .
Uo the top you can go to the outdoor observatory and take picture
Yes it will be very old wear warm enough . For the experiment I bring a can of beer and left it out in the open . within 5 min when I open the can it already cold . cold enough to drink on the top of Europe
for your memories there is a chop near the train waiting area to stamp on a travel passport ( will be given when you purchase the ticket ) I#spooktaculartrip

The Tallest Mountain In Europe - Jungfrau
Switzerland is one of the most breathtaking trip ever, and this of course comes with price! There is 2 popular mountains here in Switzerland, 1 is the matterhorn mountain while the other is the jungfraujoch mountain(the tallest mountain in Europe).
Jungfrau(pronounced as Yong Frau), got its popularity because of the beautiful train ride you get on from Wengen where it will gives you a scenic 360 view from the train while going up to the mountain, it also is called the top of Europe, this means the air up there is thin! Ample clothing here is definitely needed as all year round it is cold and icy but of course do not head here during winter, I've never tried because I assume if the town is freezing, I can't imagine what's up here. The best time to go here is during August - November where also the weather is dry and crisps.

Aletsch Glacier, Switzerland
Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps.
🚋 Travel: You can take a train to Fiesch. We departed from Interlaken, which took about an hour. Then, take a cable car to the mountain top.
🚶♂️Once at the top, you can walk a bit further to see the glacier below or continue hiking. We chose to hike across the valley, a distance of about 10 km, which took around 4-5 hours.

🌸 Recommended seasons for visiting:
🔥 July and August are peak season, with many activities, but also the most expensive.
💰 May and June, and September and October are shoulder seasons, with moderate prices and high value for money.

The Enchanting Alps Experience: The Allure of Jungfrau in All Seasons
Jungfrau is not only a symbol of Switzerland but also a paradise for nature lovers. The distinct seasonal landscapes endow this peak with unique charm throughout the year. In winter, Jungfrau is adorned with a blanket of snow, creating an endless expanse of white that contrasts beautifully with the blue sky, making it an ideal destination for skiing and ice sports. In summer, it transforms into a vibrant green valley filled with flowers and plants, perfect for leisurely hikes. Along the well-designed hiking trails, one can enjoy magnificent glacier views and crystal-clear mountain lakes.

Currency and prices: Switzerland's currency is the Swiss franc, and some cities accept euros. Switzerland has a relatively high cost of living, so it's recommended to prepare a budget beforehand.
IV. Itinerary suggestions
For first-time visitors to Switzerland, it's recommended to allocate 4-6 days to experience famous attractions like Jungfrau, Interlaken, and Lucerne. If you have more time, consider a 10-day itinerary to explore Switzerland's natural beauty and cultural heritage in depth.
Whether you're a nature lover or a cultural explorer, Switzerland offers an unforgettable travel experience. Come to Switzerland and embark on a dreamy Alpine adventure!
In mid-September, I revisited Valais, Switzerland. The beautiful and magnificent scenery of Valais was still pleasing to my eyes and made my heart surging.
🇨🇭Valais is the third largest state in Switzerland, bordering France and Italy. More than half of the more than 80 majestic peaks over 4,000 meters in the Alps are located in Valais. The natural scenery is beautiful and it is a charming holiday paradise in Switzerland.
✈️Take Hainan Airlines, fly directly from Shenzhen to Milan, Italy, and then take a bus for more than two hours, we arrived at the first stop of this trip to Valais, Switzerland-Aletsch Glacier Area (Aletsch Arena).
🌍The Aletsch Glacier in southern Switzerland extends from the north slope of Eiger, Monk and Jungfrau to Valais. It was 23 kilometers long and is the largest and longest glacier in Europe.
🧊The Aletsch Glacier is uniquely shaped and magnificent. The unique U-shaped arc shows the magic of nature. It looks like a white jade belt hanging between the mountains, winding and winding, vast and magnificent, and was awarded the "World Natural Heritage".
🌞However, it is a pity that with global warming, the Aletsch Glacier is quietly and irreversibly melting every moment. It is said that the length has now been reduced to 20 kilometers, which is regrettable. According to scientists' calculations, the glacier will even disappear completely by the end of this century. Friends who want to go must hurry up.
📷The Aletsch Glacier has three viewing platforms: Eggishorn, Bettmerhorn and Moosfluh. The three small towns of Fiescheralp, Bettmeralp and Riederalp all have cable cars that can go up to the viewing platform to enjoy the scenery.
🏔️The scenery of these three viewing platforms is very open and beautiful. Tourists can clearly see the location between the viewing platform and the glacier on the map. If you only enjoy the scenery, I recommend the highest Eggishorn viewing platform among the three. This angle can overlook the U-shaped glacier and the scenery of the European famous peaks such as Matterhorn, Jungfrau and Eiger.
🐑This time, we only visited the Moosfluh viewing platform and the Bettmerhorn viewing platform. The scenery was very beautiful. Especially at the Bettmerhorn viewing platform, in addition to seeing the U-shaped glacier, we also encountered the black-faced sheep, a specialty of Valais, and the interesting scene of leisurely walking on the mountain.
🏨For the Aletsch Glacier tour, we chose to stay in the small town of Bettmeralp. After coming down from the Moosfluh viewing platform that day, we chose a 2.5-kilometer mountain hike, with picturesque scenery all the way. After coming down, we stayed at the Bettmer Alpi Hotel (Hotel Alpfrieden), a Swiss mountain chalet-style hotel, which is not large but warm and comfortable. You can see the sunset and sunrise from the balcony of the guest room.

Top of Europe 🗺️
#myhiddengems
Visiting Jungfraujoch, the “Top of Europe,” was an absolute highlight of my trip to Switzerland! 🏔️🚞 Located high up in the Swiss Alps, reaching this stunning spot was an adventure in itself. I took the scenic train ride from Interlaken, which cost around 210 CHF, but the breathtaking views along the way made it worth every cent. As we climbed higher, the landscape transformed from lush green meadows to snow-covered peaks. Stepping out at 3,454 meters above sea level was like entering a winter wonderland! ❄️🌨️
The Ice Palace was my first stop, where I walked through tunnels carved entirely out of ice, featuring beautiful ice sculptures that shimmered under the lights. Then I made my way to the Sphinx Observatory. The panoramic views from there were absolutely mind-blowing—you could see Aletsch Glacier stretching far into the distance and the peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains. 🌄🗻 It felt like being on top of the world! And don’t forget to visit the “Alpine Sensation” exhibit; it gives a fascinating insight into the history of the Jungfrau Railway and the construction of this high-altitude marvel.
Afterward, I grabbed lunch at the restaurant on-site, enjoying a hot chocolate with a view of the mountains. 🌭☕ And before heading back down, I couldn’t resist stepping out onto the snow to take some photos. It was chilly, but the fresh mountain air was invigorating. If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Switzerland, make sure to put Jungfraujoch on your list. #trip #Jungfraujoch #TopOfEurope #SwissAlps #MountainViews #BucketListAdventure

The Top of Europe - Jungfrau
After six years, I embarked on another journey to the Swiss alpine snow peaks, this time to the Jungfrau, which stands at an altitude of 4,158 meters.
It is said that although the Jungfrau is known as the "Top of Europe," it is not the highest peak in Europe. The highest peak in Europe is Mont Blanc, located on the border between France and Italy, with an altitude exceeding 4,800 meters, earning it the title "Roof of Europe."
The Swiss have used titles like "Top of Europe" and "Queen of the Alps" to promote Jungfrau, and they have built the highest-altitude railway station in Europe (at 3,454 meters) to make Jungfrau a highly sought-after Swiss tourist destination, attracting over a million visitors annually.
Taking the mountain cable car down, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of alpine meadows and cottages from above. The final segment of the cogwheel train also stops at a viewing platform, where you can see the stunning views of blue skies, snow-capped mountains, and glaciers through large observation windows.
If you're lucky and not disturbed by wind, rain, or fog at the summit, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains surrounded by blue skies and white clouds.
