Things to Do at Jungfraujoch
Jungfrau Panorama
As soon as you enter, you will be subjected to a 4-minute 360-degree view of the Jungfrau. Watch the clouds pass by, the powdery snow lay on mountains, or follow the camera as it plunges into ice crevices in this viewing experience.
Sphinx Observatory
One of the highest observatories in the world, the Sphinx is a research station and open viewing deck where visitors can behold the surrounding Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger summits. You can take an elevator directly from the Jungfraujoch railway station to the observation deck — where a whopping 108 m is covered in just 25 seconds.
Explore the Sphinx Observatory
Ice Palace (Eispalast)
The Ice Palace is carved within the Aletsch Glacier and is the highest ice palace in the world. Visitors will be awestruck with the intricate detailing on each carving. You can expect to see animals such as bears, penguins, and eagles that are life-like in their appearance.
Jungfraujoch's Ice Palace
Alpine Sensation
The Alpine Sensation is a 250 m long corridor connecting the Eispalast and Sphinx Observation Deck. It pays homage to the miners that connected the Jungfraujoch to the Jungfraujoch railway station with memorial tablets. Cross the chilly corridor and you will see a massive snow globe at the end.
Glacier Plateau
This vantage platform gives you breathtaking views of the snowy mountains surrounding the Jungfraujoch. You can walk to the Swiss flag that flutters in the wind and take a picture as you take in the rugged terrain around you.
