Introduction

Jungfraujoch refers to the viewing area at the saddle of the Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland, at over 3,400 metres and known as the Top of Europe, one of Switzerland's most famous alpine experiences. Visitors usually set out from around Interlaken and change to a cogwheel railway that runs through a tunnel in the Eiger to reach the summit station. At the top are viewing platforms and the Sphinx observatory, looking out over alpine peaks and the long Aletsch Glacier, and inside the glacier is an Ice Palace with distinctive blue ice sculptures. The summit is snow-covered year-round and cold, so warm clothing and sunglasses are needed even in summer. Weather greatly affects the views, so check the summit conditions before setting out; clear days are best.
