Jungfraubahn

The highest railway station in Europe

The pioneering Jungfrau Railway was opened in 1912. The rack railway takes you from the Kleine Scheidegg pass to the Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres above sea level. 7.3 kilometres of the nine-kilometre route are tunnels, passing through the Eiger and Mönch mountains.

Royal Ride
