JUNGFRAUJOCH 2019
WOW. 3 hours of travel each way, and absolutely worth every minute. This is a trip I booked the night before, and couldn’t have asked for better weather. On the train up there, I met two Australian women, who’d booked the trip 6 weeks earlier, and I told them how lucky we got with the weather.
You actually take a cog train up THROUGH the Eiger, there’s even a stop where you can exit the train, and look through a thick window to the south of the mountain towards a Sea of Ice.
Back on the train, through the Monch mountain, and then you arrive under the Jungfraujoch.
Up an elevator, and then THE VIEW is spectacular. There’s an ice cave you can walk through (very cold in there), and there are a number of stores (expensive).
The two Aussies and I eventually made our way to the bottom, where you can walk out on the mountain, and see the Aletsch Glacier in all its glory. There’s even a small bar, to get a drink, or just coffee/tea, and sit down to enjoy the view.
Simply an amazing day trip!
