Jungfraujoch | The Top of Europe

Seated upon peaks that resemble swirls of vanilla ice cream, Jungfraujoch is Europe’s highest railway station. Occupying the saddle between the Jungfrau and Mӧnch mountains, Jungfraujoch offers mesmerising views of the Aletsch glacier (the Alps’ larget ice mass) on one hand — and up to the Black Forest in Germany on the other.

Things to know before booking Jungfraujoch tickets

  • Arriving from Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, Interlaken, Lucerne, Geneva or Zurich? Round-trip tickets have got you covered, offering ease and convenience.
  • It’s advisable to make seat reservations on the Jungfraujoch railway in advance, as those with a reservation get priority entry. Otherwise, you can expect longer wait times.
  • While most tickets are inclusive of visits to the Sphinx Observatory, Alpine Sensation and Ice Palace, tickets to Snow Fun Park must be purchased separately.
  • Haven’t had enough of the pristine beauty of the Bernese Alps? Consider purchasing the Swiss Continuous Travel Pass with Access to Train, Bus and Boat that is valid from 3 up to 15 days. 
  • If you are a wheelchair user, it is strongly recommended to take the Eiger Express tricable gondola car to Eiger Glacier station. From there, you can switch to the train that goes up to Jungfraujoch.
  • Pets are allowed at Jungfraujoch and don’t require a separate ticket on any travel routes, except on the Eiger Glacier to Jungfraujoch railway route, where each ticket costs 30 CHF per dog. 

Why Visit Jungfraujoch?

Jungfraujoch Tickets
  • Breathtaking views: Scenic vistas of powdery snow, stark blue skies, and surrounding rocky terrain offer postcard-perfect scenery. From 3454 metres above sea level, you can see the Aletsch Glacier, the Jungfrau summit, and even up to the Vosges in France.
  • Explore the Ice Palace: Visitors can explore this magical complex of chambers filled with ice sculptures, tunnels, and slides.
  • Visit the Sphinx Observatory: One of the highest observatories and viewpoints in the world, visitors can learn about the ongoing research being conducted here.
  • Walk through the Alpine Sensation: This is a tribute to the miners that helped construct Jungfraujoch. It is a long corridor connecting the Ice Palace to the Sphinx Observatory, notable for its giant snow globe.
  • Snow Fun Park: If you’ve not had enough of the snow, head to Snow Fun Park to engage in sledding, skiing, ziplining and more.
  • Enjoy adventure activities: Jungfraujoch offers a range of adventure activities, including snowboarding, skiing, and sledding. Visitors can also take a walk on the glacier, or simply enjoy the alpine landscape.

Things to do at Jungfraujoch

Jungfrau Panorama

As soon as you enter, you will be subjected to a 4-minute 360-degree view of the Jungfrau. Watch the clouds pass by, the powdery snow lay on mountains, or follow the camera as it plunges into ice crevices in this viewing experience.

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.

The Ice Palace is carved within the Aletsch Glacier and is the highest ice palace in the world. Visitors will be awestruck with the intricate detailing on each carving. You can expect to see animals such as bears, penguins, and eagles that are life-like in their appearance.

Jungfraujoch's Ice Palace

Alpine Sensation

The Alpine Sensation is a 250 m long corridor connecting the Eispalast and Sphinx Observation Deck. It pays homage to the miners that connected the Jungfraujoch to the Jungfraujoch railway station with memorial tablets. Cross the chilly corridor and you will see a massive snow globe at the end.

Glacier Plateau

This vantage platform gives you breathtaking views of the snowy mountains surrounding the Jungfraujoch. You can walk to the Swiss flag that flutters in the wind and take a picture as you take in the rugged terrain around you.

Hike to Mönchsjoch Hut

This hike is about 45 minutes from Jungfraujoch to the highest-altitude serviced hut in Switzerland. Once you reach the Mönchsjochhütte, enjoy a snack or drink. Note that the hike requires good physical fitness, and the trail is open only till mid-October (subject to weather conditions).

The newest addition to the Jungfraujoch route, the Eiger Express tricable gondola takes you from the Grindelwald station to Eiger Glacier Station in just 15 minutes. This cable car is part of the ‘Swisstainable’ initiative where fewer support towers are required and landscapes are preserved.

Tips
  • Please ensure you wear warm clothes as Jungfraujoch is cold even during summer. Follow the ‘onion’ hack – in case you feel warm, you just need to shrug off a few layers.
  • Carry along sunglasses as the glare from the glaciers may cause snow blindness if you are not careful!
  • As you are ascending high altitudes, consult with a doctor before your trip — especially if you have hypertension, cardiovascular issues, etc.
  • Opt for the gondola ride, so you can enjoy two different modes of transport while heading up to Jungfraujoch.
  • Check the weather in advance and try to visit on a clear day for the best views. 
  • There are few charging points up top, so carry a fully-charged power bank — your phone will need the juice for all the photos you’ll want to take!
  • Download the “Jungfraujoch Digital Tour Guide” and enjoy an audioguided tour of the attraction. You can also pre-download the guide and listen offline.
  • Keep an eye on the clock. Ensure you catch the last train down to avoid an unintentional overnight stay at the summit.
