The Jungfrau region means snow-covered mountain tops, lush green Alpine
pastures, raging waterfalls, and more: colourful hang-gliders in the deep blue sky, white
steamboats on turquoise waters, pulsating activity in the shopping streets.
The Jungfrau
region means countless opportunities for day trips on water or dry land, for walking, cycling,
swimming, windsurfing, sailing, for experiencing unforgettable adventures such as tandem
paragliding, for window shopping and culinary enjoyment.
The Jungfrau region
means all of the above, but especially: superlative mountain cableway and railway rides.
You can take the Jungfrau railway from Interlaken, for example, ending up at the highest railway
station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch, 3454 m above sea level. The longest cable railway in the Alps
follows the trail of James Bond to the Piz Gloria on the Schilthorn.
The ski
resorts of the Jungfrau region lie directly below the world-famous backdrop of the Eiger, the Mönch
and the Jungfrau. The alpine landscape is as varied as the choice of pistes and runs.
More than 45 mountain and cable railways and chair and ski lifts transport
sports enthusiasts to over 200 km of pistes. Sledgers, winter hikers and cross-country skiers
will all find ideal conditions. Après-ski attractions range from glacier bars, dance clubs
and discos to sliding fun and romantic fondue evenings. As for accommodation, Grindelwald,
Interlaken, Mürren, Wengen and Wilderswil offer an extensive choice to suit all tastes, from simple
inns to luxury hotels.
The famous Jungfrau
Railway will take you to Europe’s highest-altitude railway station at 3454 meters (11,333 feet). The

miles) the longest in Europe. The attractins on the Jungfraujoch include the Sphinx panoramic
terrace, the ice palace, a plateau with walking trails in the eternal snow, husky sledge rides in
the summer, summer skiing and snowboarding, a slide show and the highest-altitude post office of
Europe where you can send your postcards. Enyoy also the glacier restaurant "Top of Europe".
