¿How to climb the jungfraujoch?
This video is a complete reference on how to climb Jungfaujoch with detailed information on the stations, tips, climbing fees. The highest train station in Europe (Jungfraujoch), a century-old engineering work that is almost inexplicable, breathtaking views of the largest glacier in Europe, the mythical north face of the Eiger that so many lives have lost. It has led and feats it has left and several four thousand... But above all the sensation of being very small before Mother Earth. All this awaits you on that intense day.
¿Is it worth climbing the Jungfraujoch?
The price is very high, between 150 and 210 Swiss francs (225 USD 💵) , so you have to think about it before going up. If it is your first trip through the Alps and you have also never been to high mountains, I recommend going up.
¿What are you going to find up there?
In addition to what I have already told you, the tour includes the climb to the Sphinx by elevator, which is the highest point from which you can observe the Aletsch glacier, the largest in Europe as I have told you with its 23 kilometers in length. The ski area offers different activities such as sledding on inflatable tires, which is only open in high season.
The walk to the Monch refuge, an open track in the snow for visitors to walk for about 40 minutes to the building where they can eat or have a drink. They only have it enabled in high season. A hallway with the story of how the tunnel that crosses the interior of the Eiger was built with images, texts and sounds. The ice palace consists of exploring galleries and rooms open in the ice with carved sculptures, all inside the glacier. The Plateau area where you can go out and walk in the snow and take some photos outside with the Swiss flag. And finally several restaurants, a Lindt shop and a gift shop.
Everything above is very well indicated and even the path to the glacier is safe, wearing appropriate footwear.
¿How to get?
There are two slopes to climb: through Lauterbrunnen or through Grindelwald. The first of all possible stations, Interlaken Ost, allows you to see the two slopes, going up one and down the other. However, you will save money if you go by car to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald themselves since the journey is shorter and the ticket is cheaper. If you have to choose the most beautiful one, I personally prefer Grindelwald's. Regardless of the station where you start your route, you will have to change trains once or twice: if you come from Interlaken, once in Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald and another time, this for all routes, at the Kleine Scheidegg station where you already take the train to arrive. to the top.
¿Tips for climbing Jungfraujoch?
Climb on a completely clear day. On the website www.jungfrau.c... you can see the webcams to see how it is up there.
Wear sunglasses. Essential to prevent the reflection of the sun on the snow from irritating your eyes and even causing temporary blindness.
Sunscreen. At those heights it is very hard and you will burn yourself if you don't get it on your skin, especially if you go in high season with the idea of going to the Monch refuge.
Appropriate footwear, especially if you want to walk through the snow. How to choose mountain footwear
Warm clothing. Even in summer the temperature can be close to 0 degrees. In winter on a good day it can be -15ºC to give you an idea.
If you don't want to spend a lot, bring a sandwich. Your pocket will thank you with the prices above.
