The Jungfrau Railway, which leads through the heart of the mountains and up to the highest train station in Europe (at 3,454 meters above sea level), offers unbelievable views of the mountain giants Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau and of the longest river of ice in the Alps. From Kleine Scheidegg, the Jungfrau Railway climbs nearly 1,400 meters in height and covers a distance of more than seven kilometers in tunnels along the nine kilometer long stretch. In the interior of the summit one can visit "Sphinx" accessible by a high speed lift that takes visitors to the peak with its observatory and the famous observation platform. Here, one has a magnificent view of the mountains and the Aletsch Glacier. Other sights include the Ice Palace, the Ski and Snowboard Park and the varid choice of restaurant.

Already in Interlaken you get a magnificent view of the famous mountain trio of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

During the 8-minute ride up Mount Harder from Interlaken, the train rolls on steep tracks through a forest belt. A gradient of 64 per cent has to be overcome. Because of the complex geological conditions, half of the stretch is built on bridges.
