About this

The Jungfrau Railway ascends from Kleine Scheidegg in Switzerland to the Jungfraujoch station at 3,454 meters, Europe's highest railway endpoint known as the Top of Europe. It travels through the Eiger and Mönch mountains via tunnels and offers views of the Aletsch Glacier, Sphinx Observatory, and Ice Palace exhibits. The journey covers 9.5 kilometers, with most sections inside the rock, and operates year-round with connections from Interlaken.
