Jungfraujoch Train Station Highest Railway Station Europe
Here’s a fascinating look at the Jungfraujoch train station, the highest railway station in Europe. To reach this structure, guests have to take the Jungfraubahn cogwheel train, which takes around 30-minutes to ascend the 4,593-foot (1,400-meters) track. A stop at the Eismeer station helps visitors acclimate to the altitude before reaching the final destination at 11,362 feet (3,463 meters).



Happen to be in Switzerland’s Bernese Alps and want to visit yourself? Simply take the Bern train via Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg. The Jungfraubahn then takes you from here up to Jungfraujoch. Keep in mind that the Jungfraujoch only operates from 8am to 4:20pm daily, so planning a super early visit might leave you disappointed. How much does it cost? The lowest priced option is a round trip ticket from Gridelwald for around $162.20 USD per person.

The terminus of the railway is in a tunnel, but when you step out onto the viewing platform, it’s likely that you’ll have your breath taken away ― and not only because of the thin air. When the weather’s good, a unique mountain panorama with around 200 alpine peaks opens up,” said Patricia Szilagyi, DW Editor.
