Sphinx Observatory
One of the highest observatories in the world, the Sphinx is a research station and open viewing deck where visitors can behold the surrounding Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger summits. You can take an elevator directly from the Jungfraujoch railway station to the observation deck — where a whopping 108 m is covered in just 25 seconds.
