Jungfraujoch railway station, Underground railway station in Fieschertal, Switzerland.
Jungfraujoch railway station is an underground facility built into the bedrock of the Bernese Alps at high elevation. It connects multiple tunnel routes and provides access to glacier areas and observation facilities at this altitude.
The station was completed in 1912, marking a milestone in mountain railway construction. Its opening provided the first direct access to one of Europe's highest railway stations.
The station serves as a gathering point for mountaineers and winter sports enthusiasts beginning their alpine journeys. Visitors here connect with the high-altitude landscape and experience the rhythm of mountain activity.
Trains run regularly from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch, with the journey taking around 50 minutes through the mountain. Bring warm clothing, as it is noticeably colder at this elevation than in the valleys below.
Below the station lies an ice palace whose chambers and sculptures are carved directly into the glacier. Visitors can walk through underground passages to this frozen artwork, which shifts and changes each year.
