Jungfrau (4,158m a.s.l.)
Intro
Next to the Eiger and the Mönch, in the Bernese Alps, the Jungfrau towers up into the sky. As imposing as the mountain itself is, the view while climbing it is just as impressive.
Description
The view of the Jungfrau is already impressive, even from the valley below. The steep north face that rises 3,000 metres from the valley below is particularly eye-catching! At 4,158 metres above sea level, the Jungfrau is the Bernese Alps’ third-highest peak. The Mönchsjoch Hut acts as the starting point for ascents via the normal route, which goes over the Rottalsattel mountain pass and the southeast ridge and up to the summit. And the Jungfrau is truly imposing from up high too. Including views of the UNESCO-listed Jungfrau Aletsch area.

Climbing four-thousander summits requires good physical health, meticulous preparation and technical skills in mountain sports. We recommend booking a mountain guide. Switzerland Tourism accepts no liability in this case.
