Icy air sweeps over your face, snow crunches underfoot, and the panorama almost takes your breath away. After arriving at the highest-altitude railway station in Europe, you are greeted by the high alpine wonderland and the history of its development in a multimedia experience tour. You find yourself in the middle of the Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by 4000-meter peaks and eternal snow – even in summer. Standing on the Jungfraujoch, 3,454 meters above sea level, you can feel it with your first step: this is a different world. It’s one you have to experience.
There is a lot to experience and see. Enjoy the most breathtaking view possible of the Swiss Alps from the Sphinx Observatory. In the Snow Fun Park, take a bird’s eye view of the Aletsch Glacier – Europe’s longest – on a flight with the Tyrolienne. Explore a world carved in ice: on a mirror-smooth tour through a frosty world, you will discover enchanting sculptures in the niches of the Ice Palace. Or journey through time: over 100 years of history await you. Immerse yourself in the visionary creation of the Jungfrau Railway with the Alpine Sensation – a thrilling multimedia tour.
Experience the Eiger Express, the most modern tricable gondola in the world, which reduces the travel time to the Top of Europe by 47 minutes and offers a thrilling ride along the world-famous Eiger North Face. The Jungfrau Railway then takes you the rest of the way – as it has since 1912.
