Visitor guidelines

Your journey on the rails of the Bernese Alps

Start your adventure in Lauterbrunnen

Begin at the picturesque village of Lauterbrunnen, set in a deep valley surrounded by soaring cliffs and waterfalls. Your journey to Jungfraujoch, the famous Top of Europe, starts from this tranquil spot. Settle into the Wengernalp rack railway and ascend through scenic alpine meadows, forests and mountain hamlets toward Kleine Scheidegg station.

Climbing higher through Kleine Scheidegg

Arrive at Kleine Scheidegg, a mountain pass with panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau peaks. Transfer here to the historic Jungfrau Railway—a marvel of engineering that climbs steep gradients through tunnels carved out of the solid rock of the Eiger and Mönch. Watch through panoramic windows as the terrain changes from grassy slopes to icy expanse.

Jungfraujoch: The Top of Europe

Disembark at Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 meters above sea level. Here you’ll step into a world of snow and ice every day of the year. Marvel at the views of the Great Aletsch Glacier and surrounding peaks from the open-air Sphinx Terrace, an observation deck perched dramatically atop the mountain. Wander through the enchanting Ice Palace, where ice sculptures are carved deep within the glacier.

• Sphinx Observatory: Enjoy 360-degree alpine vistas and see as far as the Vosges Mountains on clear days.

• Ice Palace: Walk among delicate ice sculptures and learn about the region’s natural and engineering history.

• Alpine Sensation: Experience a multimedia exhibit telling the story of the Jungfrau Railway’s construction and the challenges faced in building this alpine wonder.

Return at your own pace
