[2024 Fieschertal Attraction] Travel Guide for Jungfraujoch: Top of Europe (Updated Nov)

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

Snow is summer? Why not? While a lot of places are suffering from extreme heat, opt to visit Jungfraujoch - the highest mountain peak in Europe. It is easily reachable from Zurich, Interlaken or Luzern. You can visit it as a part of the tour group or organize everything yourself.

#tripaway The train ride to the Top of Europe is a scenic one and quite an unforgettable experience, right from Interlaken OST to Wengen/ Grindelwald to Kleine Scheidegg and finally to Jungfraujoch. The rail tickets though are very highly priced. Even though it is a really expensive amount to get here, I am really happy with the amount of money we spent because it was such a great fun day and it was totally worth it. #tripaway

The Jungfrau is a famous mountain in Switzerland and is part of the Alps. Its name comes from the small town at the foot of the Jungfrau, the former convent of Interlaken. At 4158 meters above sea level, it is like a young girl, wrapped in silver and standing quietly between the white clouds. In fact, in addition to the Jungfrau, there are two other peaks standing side by side with her, Eiger (3,970 meters) and monks (4099 meters). In addition to the magnificent scenery to watch, the Jungfrau Mountain Railway, which transports tourists up and down the mountain, is an engineering miracle of mankind in the early 20th century.

I have always been the country I want to go to, but I am too lazy to be a free-know strategy in Europe. The Viking Cruises is the most comfortable way to travel to Europe and become the biggest advantage. I chose the Rhine 11 A romantic day trip from the Rhine to the Netherlands -German -French -Swiss , are the most suitable and most classic city tours in Europe, and the scenery is getting more and more The best thing that I can't forget is the Swiss Jungfrau on the top of Europe. The Jungfrau Railway is made up of these three segments. The lower railway (BOB) is blue-yellow, the middle railway (WAB) is green and yellow, and the upper railway (JB) is red. Our bus takes us directly to the starting point of the middle railway and packs the entire carriage for us. Each person will send a Jungfrau travel passport with a classic view and free travel route. The last page can be kept on the top of the Jungfrau summit with the seal of the day. It is very memorable The train starts. The world's only gear train, although with the noise of gear friction, my ears have been selectively deaf for the beauty of the window, the glass inside the compartment can be lowered, convenient for passengers to take pictures, the scenery outside the window is also in the green mountains and The neat field changes back and forth, the small trains increase the driving force, crawl on the ridge, and the Jungfrau surrounded by the snowy mountains and valleys
