On the roof of Europe: the climb to the Jungfraujoch is the crowning glory of any stay in Switzerland. For more than a century, the Jungfraubahn has been taking visitors to Europe’s highest railway station at 3,454 metres above sea level.
When you stand on the Jungfraujoch, the first thing you feel is that it is another world. An experience you must have had. The site is now a World Heritage Site (Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch). The rack railway starts at Kleine Scheidegg and runs through a tunnel to provide year-round access to the roof of Europe.
The tunnel, seven kilometres long from Eigergletscher station, was dug between 1896 and 1912. Two stops allow you to take a look at the fascinating spectacle of the north face of the Eiger and the glacier.
At the summit, visitors discover a fabulous world of ice, snow and rock, which they can admire from the panoramic terraces of the “Sphinx” and the “Plateau”, on the Aletsch Glacier or in the “Ice Palace”.

The TRÜMMELBACH FALLS
With its ten glacial waterfalls inside the mountain, which can be reached by a lift in the rock, the Trümmelbach Falls are unique in Europe.
The Trümmelbach Falls, which originate from a 24 km long basin, half of which is made up of snow and ice, drains the gigantic glacier walls of the Eiger (3,970 m), Mönch (4,099 m) and Jungfrau (4,158 m) with a flow rate of up to 20,000 litres per second.
The Federal Inventory of Landscapes, Sites and Natural Monuments. UNESCO natural world heritage. Apart from the last of the Trümmelbach Falls, all the other waterfalls within the mountain have remained invisible since the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago, until 1877, when they were first man-made.
Therefore, the name “Trümmelbach” does not convey an optical impression, which is often the case in the naming of waterfalls, but an acoustic one, as the name Trümmelbach is similar to that of Trommelbach, “Trommel” evoking the rolling of the drum.
The flow of the torrent is subject to large fluctuations: from December to March, it is only a trickle of water flowing under thick shells of ice. After the night frosts in April and October, the flow is limited to a few dozen litres per second.
When the snow melts from April to June and then during the melting of the glaciers from June to September or after rainstorms, up to 20,000 litres of water per second flow through the rocks: the stream turns into a tumultuous torrent.
What flows and roars in summer comes to a standstill in the icy silence of winter, leaving it all to the stone to express itself.
