The Jungfraujoch

 

The Jungfraujoch is a the lowest point of a ridge between the Jungfrau and the Monch. It lies at a tallness of 11,371 ft above ocean level in the Bernese Alps, on the limit between the cantons of Bern and Valais, partially in the middle of Interlaken and Fiesch. It is an ice sheet pass, on the upper snows of the Aletsch Glacier, and some piece of the Jungfrau-Aletsch region. The train into the mountain leaves from Kleine Scheidegg, which can be arrived at via trains from Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen through Wengen. The train enters the shaft running eastward through the Eiger without further ado above Kleine Scheidegg. Before landing at the Jungfraujoch, it stops for a couple of minutes at two different stations, Eismeer and Eigerwand, where travelers can transparent the openings exhumed from the mountain. The adventure from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch takes roughly 50 minutes including the stops; the downhill return excursion taking just 40 minutes.

 

A substantial intricate of passages and structures has been built at the Jungfraujoch, basically into the south side of the Monch. There is a lodging, two restaurants, an observatory, an examination station, a little film, a ski school, and the "Ice Palace", a gathering of intricate ice models. An alternate passage heads outside to a level, snow-secured territory, where one can stroll around and look down to the Konkordiaplatz and the Aletsch Glacier, and in addition the encompassing mountains
