What makes Jungfrau Region special as a destination?
The Jungfrau Region is the heart of the Bernese Oberland and unites the most spectacular mountain landscapes of the Swiss Alps in a compact area. Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren, and Lauterbrunnen form the gateway to a world of eternal ice, thundering waterfalls, and panoramas that leave even experienced mountaineers speechless. The trio of Eiger (3,967m), Mönch (4,107m), and Jungfrau (4,158m) looms majestically over the valley and shapes every hike, every train ride, and every sunrise in this region. The Jungfraujoch — Top of Europe at 3,454 meters — is the highest railway station in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cogwheel train winds its way through the rock of Eiger and Mönch upwards, where the Aletsch Glacier, the longest ice stream in the Alps, lies at your feet. The Ice Palace inside the glacier and the Sphinx observation terrace offer unforgettable experiences in any weather. The Lauterbrunnen Valley is considered one of the most beautiful glacier valleys in the world: 72 waterfalls cascade down the steep rock faces, including the famous Staubbach Falls (297m) and the Trümmelbach Falls inside the mountain. Mürren, the car-free mountain village at 1,650 meters, offers pure thrills on the Thrill Walk at Schilthorn (2,970m) — this is where the James Bond film “On Her Majesty's Secret Service” was filmed. In winter, the region transforms into a ski paradise with over 200 kilometers of slopes, while in summer, more than 300 kilometers of hiking trails through alpine meadows and along turquoise mountain lakes beckon.
