Jungfrau, Alpine summit in Bernese Alps, Switzerland
The Jungfrau mountain rises to 4,158 meters, forming a massive wall with Eiger and Mönch peaks that defines the landscape of the Bernese Oberland region.
The Meyer brothers, accompanied by two local chamois hunters, completed the first recorded ascent of the Jungfrau summit on August 3, 1811.
The Jungfrau Railway connects visitors to Jungfraujoch station at 3,454 meters, making it the highest railway station across the European continent.
The journey from Grindelwald Terminal to Jungfraujoch takes 45 minutes via the Eiger Express tricable gondola, offering direct views of the Eiger North Face.
The mountain forms part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch protected area, a UNESCO World Heritage site that includes the longest glacier in the Alps.
