Descubre el Jungfraujoch
The "Jungfraujoch" is a peak located at an altitude of 3465 meters in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. You might say a pass like so many others ... Not quite, because you can reach it thanks to the highest cogwheel train in Europe, making all the wild world of the very high mountain usually reserved for experienced mountain hikers accessible.
Here you can admire Aletsch, the largest glacier in the Alps, as well as the three giants of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. These exceptional landscapes will inevitably disappear over the decades, but today it is still time for wonder. Let's go to the top of Europe!

¿Cómo acceder al Jungfraujoch?
Interlaken, el punto de partida ideal para ir al Jungfraujoch
Desde la estación de tren de Interlaken Ost se puede llegar a Jungfraujoch in 2 hours. You will have to change trains either at Lauterbrunnen and Kleine Scheidegg stations, or at Grindelwald and Kleine Scheidegg stations (see map below). The ticket is valid for one or the other of the itineraries and both are interesting. If you don't have a preference, choose one route to go and the other to return. Tip: leave Interlaken early (train from 6.35 am), you won't have too much of a day to enjoy the show!
Escala en Kleine Scheidegg
It is here, at an altitude of 2,061 meters, that the two lines of the world's longest cog railway network join the Jungfrau line. This is also the last stop before reaching Europe's highest station on the Jungfraujoch, 1,500 meters higher. Most passengers just pass from one train to another without taking the time to admire and yet… the panoramic view of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau is already spectacular. https://www.instagram.com/p/CT-S6auLtZ8/Ferrocarril Jungfrau
Desde la estación Kleine Scheidegg hasta la estación Jungfraujoch, el tren de cremallera más alto de Europa cruza el Eiger y el Mönch a una velocidad media de 20 km/h y se detendrá lo más cerca posible del Jungfrau. Todo el recorrido (30 min) se realiza en un túnel, y sólo una parada en la estación de Eismeer (3160 metros) permite admirar el paisaje, que es espléndido.
Qué esperar en la cima de Europa
Al llegar a la cima de la estación Jungfrau, las flechas mostrarán a los visitantes la dirección de la ruta, permitiéndoles disfrutar de todas las atracciones del sitio. La plataforma de la Esfinge (3,571 meters above sea level) provides access to the top of the Jungfraujoch and has the best view of the Mönch (Monk). It is an astronomical observatory perched on a rock, which allows you to admire the landscape. Under your feet, el glaciar Aletsch offers you an incredible landscape. With a length of 23 km and an area of over 100 km2, it is the largest glacier in the Alps. No less than 11 billion tons of ice lie here, the thickness of the glacier reaching up to 900 meters at Konkordiaplatz (the meeting point of the 3 main snowfields).
El Jungfrau es una visita obligada en la región de Interlaken. Además de tener nieve todo el año, también pasas por un túnel de hielo que es simplemente HERMOSO! Los guías de montaña crearon los pasillos y pasillos en los años 30. Así podrás caminar sobre hielo, admirar esculturas e incluso conocer a Scrat en este Palacio de Hielo Jungfraujoch.

Una caminata por el glaciar accesible para todos
At the Jungfraujoch, you don't just admire the glaciers and peaks (which is nevertheless already a great experience), the site also offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of very high mountains by taking a well-marked path to the Mönchsjochhütte (3658 m). It is a short hike (less than 2 hours round trip) that does not require any special equipment other than good waterproof shoes. The environment is grandiose.
actividades para todos
The Jungfraujoch signposted circuit allows you to discover so much. In addition to the panoramas on the glaciers and summits from the Sphinx and La Terrasse platforms, you will see cinematographic animations on the environment and on the history of the pioneers of the Jungfrau as well as an ice palace exhibited with some ephemeral sculptures. Thrill-seekers will perhaps be tempted by the zip line or the toboggans at the Snow Fun Park (open from May to October).
Anota este consejo: if you only have one day in the region, Jungfrau may be the best tour option. The ticket prices start from 111,50 CHF Interlaken Ost return ticket in winter, or if you stay longer, I recommend buying the 3-day Top of Europe Pass (if you have the Swiss travel pass, it costs CHF 149). This ticket leads directly to the train from Interlaken to the cable car and to enter the complex. What is not included are extreme activities. With this same ticket, you can go to any mountain! It's really worth it if you plan to stay at least 2 full days in this region!
