Jungfrau
・4000m-class mountains that can be reached by train
・Perpetual snow that blows even in summer
【City description】
Jungfrau is an Alpine mountain with an altitude of 4,158m, and is the highest peak in the surrounding mountain range. You can take a train to the top of the mountain, and Jungfrau Station at the top is said to be the highest station in Europe. The top of the mountain is so cold that there is permanent snow, so you must wear thick clothes even in summer. There are two routes, but here we will introduce the route where you take the mountain train from Interlaken East Station to Lauterbrunnen Station, take the Jungfrau Railway from Kleine Schadegg Station to the summit station, and then stop at Grindelwald from Kleine Schadegg Station and return to Interlaken Ost Station.

Jungfraujoch
Time required: 2h
Admission fee: 0 CHF
This is the summit of Jungfrau. The station is inside the tunnel, so follow the directions. Climb the stairs to the top and you’ll reach the observation deck. In addition to the observation deck, you can actually go outside and walk, but even though it’s summer, there is snow on the ground, so it’s important to take precautions against the cold, and you need to be careful because the ground is slippery. There are also explanations of the ice tunnel and the history of the tunnel’s excavation, restaurants, and souvenir shops. There is also a specialty shop for Lindt, a Swiss chocolate manufacturer. If the weather is good, you can see the glacier, but it is easily affected by the weather, so it depends a lot on luck.
★Get back on the train and get off at Kleine Schadegg station. If you visited Jungfrau in the morning, you still have time to make a detour to Grindelwald on your way back, so take the train to Grindelwald. The train ride takes about 30 minutes.
