Jungfraujoch is refered to as 'the top of Europe'. Indeed it is a magnificent sight and it's hard to believe a railway was built this far up starting in 1898! There are two stopping points along the way which allow you to see the glacier and snowy conditions from different viewpoints. They have several things to keep you entertained during your visit: an ice palace complete with ice carvings inside an ice building (floor, walls and ceiling are all ice), a movie previewing the region, area and history, two outside observation areas, dog sled rides, snow treking, skiing, and snowboarding. It is home to a high altitude research station and was also featured in the James Bond movie 'Her Majesty's Secret Service'. Jungfrau is a must see on a sunny day (unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse when we were there and the view was mostly obscured - you can check the current conditions via their webcam =) See our pictures here.
