Interlaken, Switzerland2-3 hoursMorning
Jungfraujoch
Europe's highest railway station with Aletsch Glacier views.
Ideal: Ideal for mountain views, special train routes, and an unforgettable Swiss experience.
The station at 3,454 metres is Europe's highest; the railway there runs through a tunnel drilled inside the Eiger and Mönch. Construction began in 1896, took sixteen years, and cost thirty workers' lives — the original plan was to reach the Jungfrau summit but money ran out here. The Aletsch visible from above, about 20 kilometres long, is the Alps' longest glacier and under UNESCO protection. The Ice Palace carved inside the glacier stays a few degrees below zero year-round.
Why go?
- To see one of Europe's most impressive high Alpine views
- To combine train journey and mountain experience on one route
- For glacier, snow, and panoramic viewpoints
