For more than 100 years, the Jungfrau railway has been making its journey to Europe’s highest-altitude railway station at 3454 metrers right at the heart of the UNESCO World heritage site “Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch”. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the Swiss Alps
The Lauterbrunnen valley extends from Zweilütschinen to the foot of the Breithorn in the Jungfrau massif. The typical high alpine valley is enclosed between sheer rock walls over which several magnificent waterfalls drop in frothing ribbons |

Ice Skating in Jungfraujoch |
The Ice PalaceThe ice palace of Jungfrau is located 30 meters below the Aletsch glacier. Tunnels of ice polished as smooth as cut glass lead through the Ice Palace at Jungfraujoch, which offers a frosty reception at minus 3°C. |
There are ice sculptures scattered throughout the 1000 square meters of tunnels that weave under the Aletsch Glacier. From a Charley Chaplin ice carving exhibit (Charley resided in Switzerland after being exiled from the United States) to mountain animals, the ice carvings are works of art. |
