Top of Europe: Snow, Sculptures, Slopes

Hop on a train to reach Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, without the huffing and puffing! The air thins as you head up the mountain so take note not to over exert yourself. The ice palace with beautiful ice sculptures is fascinating to visit, especially if you are from the tropics like me! Walking in the snow is fun but watch out for slippery ice as you queue to take a pic with Swiss flag. The view is breathtaking and it is COLD! Sunnies are really helpful with the blinding snow. Something special to do would be to video call your loved ones and show them the Top of Europe ❤️ There are a couple of eateries and a variety of shops if you are looking for Swiss gifts and keepsakes. The Top of Europe pass entitles you to some discount here. Opt for the gondolas as you head down to Grindelwald first where you can get a cuppa hot (Lindt) chocolate: it’s amazingly good! That was our ‘cherry on top’ to complete this unique adventure. My #2023travelwish is to bring my friends on a trip to New Zealand’s South Island to explore the glaciers and look out for wild life. #2023travelwish #topofeurope #switzerland #friendstraveltogether

on top of Europe

#skiadventure Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe - is easily accessible by cable car, cogwheel trains via Grindelwald, or via Lauterbrunnen-Wengen. It was not cheap to visit but it was all worth it. The view was scenic, and it has a viewing point in the Bernese Alps, at an altitude of 3,454 m. Plan your trip carefully and refer to the weather forecast before you purchase your tickets. A winter wonderland to be at! #mytripvlog

Special place with our first snow experience

It is an wonderful experience coming up here without doing a the hiking as people in the past did. The train ride was very comfortable and we were able to see the transformation from green valey ro snow-slope and snowy mountain. The moment we reached the top, the view was absolutely amazing. The snow was so fine to touch and the sky was so blue. Recommended to bring sunglasses as it is very glaring. #skiadventure

A trip to the top of Europe is highly recommended. only access to the top is by train . train ticket itself is on the high price but it totally worth it consider the view and experience you will be getting will be price less . Uo the top you can go to the outdoor observatory and take picture Yes it will be very old wear warm enough . For the experiment I bring a can of beer and left it out in the open . within 5 min when I open the can it already cold . cold enough to drink on the top of Europe for your memories there is a chop near the train waiting area to stamp on a travel passport ( will be given when you purchase the ticket ) I#spooktaculartrip

The Tallest Mountain In Europe - Jungfrau

Switzerland is one of the most breathtaking trip ever, and this of course comes with price! There is 2 popular mountains here in Switzerland, 1 is the matterhorn mountain while the other is the jungfraujoch mountain(the tallest mountain in Europe). Jungfrau(pronounced as Yong Frau), got its popularity because of the beautiful train ride you get on from Wengen where it will gives you a scenic 360 view from the train while going up to the mountain, it also is called the top of Europe, this means the air up there is thin! Ample clothing here is definitely needed as all year round it is cold and icy but of course do not head here during winter, I've never tried because I assume if the town is freezing, I can't imagine what's up here. The best time to go here is during August - November where also the weather is dry and crisps. #fallingforfall #mountains #switzerland #scenic #breathtaking #views #europe

Top of Europa Jungfaujoch the best view !

#fallishere but Jungfraujoch snow whole year along! the differences is -10 degree during fall and -20 during winter. it’s located near Grindelwald with only 15 mins of Eiger express cable car and another 30 mins of the world tallest train would take you up to a 4,300 m above sea level mountain. the time spend there could varies from 2-4 hours depending on what you do but it’s best to take your time slow cause altitude sickness can kick in due to the fast accent. Swiss travel pass offer half fare around CHF86 per pax. restaurant so serve western and Asian food. so you can take a good lunch up there before heading down. the view is amazing and remember to layer yourself to keep yourself warm well!! #couplestrip #Swiss #awesomepic #grindelwald #topofeuropa

WORKING TRIP TO THE TOP OF EUROPE

I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to be part of this remarkable event. As Jungfrau Railway celebrated it's 100th Year Anniversary, I was appointed to invite our Malaysian editors and journalists to The Top of Europe, Jungfraujoch to witness the amazing countdown of the event. Reaching up there from Lauterbrunnen was an incredible journey itself. We witnessed a true engineering masterpiece in the Swiss railway history and enjoyed the beauty of the captivating Swiss mountain panorama. Those breath-taking views along the way truly make it like the time has just stopped! Once at the top, the medias was invited to have their pre-arranged lunch in Restaurant Crystal, where every guests get to view the panoramic angle of glacier while enjoying the beautifully prepared finest Swiss dishes by the Chef. Having a cup of hot chocolate or coffee while overlooking the spectacular landscape is just another way of enjoying and appreciating life. After the sumptuous meals, we wander around and took lots of photos before departing back. It was truly an unforgettable experience in Jungfraujoch with the editors and journalists. #wheretogo #awesomepic #deliciousfood #tripmoments #jungfraujoch #topofeurope #switzerland #yolobeliever

Top of Europe.

Top of the World...ooppsss... Europe, I should say

What an experience making it to the "Top of Europe" in Jungfraujoch! Though the view was not spectacular when I arrived, the Sun slowly peeped behind the clouds and cleared up the sky. Finally, I have seen the magnificent view on "Top of Europe". I also have seen the marker specifying the official filming location of the popular Korean Netflix Series, "Crash Landing On You". With the Sun shining finally, it was so relaxing just sitting on the lounge chair enjoying the moment. The view on the way up and down was also stunning. Take me back to Switzerland, please. ❤️ 🤍❤️

Head up the "Top of Europe" via Cable car

Be sure to visit once if you can if you are in Switzerland!

massive snow dome at Jungfraujoch

My daughter really enjoyeed her time at Jungfraujoch. The view of Europe was so amazing that she was enchanted and did not want to leave. She also discovered that the Swiss sweets were amazing and also the frozen Palace was something that kept her entertained for hours. She also took tons of pictures at the top of the snowy mountain and cannot wait to go here again. Looks like I have to come back again for her to enjoy Switzerland again:)

Top of Europe - Jungfraujoch

#celebratewithtrip Great once in life time experience. Definitely amazing experiencing top of Europe. Everything is perfect . We went from Interlaken ost to Lauterbrunnen. After changing trains in Lauterbrunnen, we travelled up to the scenic mountain village of Wengen and then onto Kleine Scheidegg. At Kleine Scheidegg, we changed trains for the last leg to Jungfraujoch. The majority of this section is in a tunnel, but still it's impressive as a tunnel at an altitude of 3,000 m right through the rocks of the Eiger. The majority of this section is in a tunnel, but still it's impressive if you just think about it: a tunnel at an altitude of 3,000 m right through the rocks of the Eiger. Most incredible journey well worth the visit. Tickets must be bought in advance. #switzerland #topofeurope #jungfraujoch

The mini exhibition at Jungfraujoch

Do you know what's the tallest mountain in Switzerland? Its jungfraujoch, although I've heard the mount zermatt is actually more popular than jungfraujoch due to its unique horn shape look at the peak where it also shows on your toberlone chocolates as well! But well I think you should at least still go to jungfraujoch since its the top of Europe and also the highest, and on the way up you will be greeted by scenic views from inside of the train. Also do take note that you are required to change 3 different trains to bring u all the way to the top of the mountain. The exhibition at the top of Europe has many hand sculptures that changes thruout the year or basically when the sculpture melts, and also thruout the 4 seasons in Europe. But I've to worn you, going up the jungfraujoch isn't gonna be cheap and cost more than 200 dollars per person, but its definitely worth the trip for sure! #celebratewithtrip #jungfraujoch #switzerland #mountain #views #exhibition #scenic #topofeurope #tallestmountain

Going up to the top of Europe!!! 😍😍
