Train trip to the Jungfrau Mountain at the Top of Europe, near Interlaken and Grindelwald, Switzerland. Europe's highest railroad line will bring you up to a spectacular world of perpetual winter, dominated by massive, snow-covered peaks reaching over 13,000 feet high and surrounding the continent's longest glacier. Many consider the train ride up one of the finest, most picturesque in the world, where getting to the top is half the fun. The journey from Interlaken to Grindlewald can be easily made on the Bernese Overland railway, and it travels on a scenic route through the valley and along the river and passes several villages. There are magnificent mountain views all along the way.
The hundred-year-old rail line from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch is one of Europe's great engineering wonders, the world's highest subway climbing through four miles of tunnels inside the rock. The beginning of this 50-minute journey is not underground, and momentarily offers a great view; so sit on the right side of the train. The train makes two brief stops enroute to let everyone out for a walk through short tunnels to viewing stations, where you look through windows at the nearby mountain peaks and the landscapes far below.
Upon arrival at the end of the rail line, you walk through an ice tunnel decorated with ice carvings and then approach a sight too amazing for description or film. You really have to pay your dues and go there in person to experience the exhilaration of standing at the top of the world, surrounded by Alpine giants of snow.The observation deck and snowfield are at 11,350 feet, flanked by the jagged peaks of the Jungfrau (13,642 ft.) and the Mönch (13,449 ft.), which form a valley that cradles the Aletsch Galcier, an endless field of snow that stretches 13 miles to the horizon.
Plan on spending an hour or two at the top, playing in the snow and exploring the various levels and exhibits of the visitor center, then catch a convenient train back down the route you came. You return to Kleine Scheidegg, where you can change trains for a different return route that will take you through Wengen and down to Lauterbrunnen.
Wonderful videos covering this most beautiful area of Switz - I went to Grindelwald for the first time in 1952 (before marriage), my wife and I spent our `honeymoon in Grindelwald in 1956`. We have been lucky to have visited this area many, many times, we have driven down from Dorset Uk. Not many areas we have missed during this time - Our favourite holiday country, however now in our mid eighties can`t walk the mountains as we used to any more, (86 & 85 years) David & Audrey
But you still have those beautiful memories.
Oh yeah,i came back again,it was more beautiful this time then the last time,amazes engineering it's unbelieveable how they grind through the mountain.
Heck Yes, time flies but I still have great memories and pics
Wonderful informative videos. I am planning this for next year so these videos are very helpful with the hotel recommendations. Thanks for posting.
My dreams country Switzerland
I don't know if I could make a travel like this, is like a dream, but watching this video makes me feel a little closer to that dream.
9:40 I could not believe my eyes. A bird just flew past at that high altitude.
Thanks for the memories. I visited Jungfrau a few years ago. The air was crystal clear when I was there... freezing cold and hard to breath, but absolutely stunning scenery. Out on a nearby sheer drop, paragliders were jumping over the edge and soaring high above our heads. I liked Switzerland... such a neat and tidy country.
Thank you foe this beautiful video. My mother was from Grindelwald and I have been lucky enough to visit a few times. Many great memories as I watched, both of the village and my mother. Thank you again.
Breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you.
I have been there and I have to say it was most beautiful scenery I had ever seen!
True i was there fout times
Did this journey some years ago!! Just love the memories. Hope to return one day🤞🏿
I like Switzerland because it's very nice and beautiful country, love u Switzerland!

Switzerland (Bern) is so beutifull country Zurich my fevrete places I love my country Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭😍😍
fake. you are an indian, and always will be.
Switzerland is the most beautiful country in Europe
nope. Iceland is
@@BUZZJC4Y I say Switzerland as well
Oh yes I’ve been to several European countries and Switzerland is the most beautiful country in Europe because of its stunning scenery and neatly organised towns and villages that are pretty the sophisticated railway system then the fact that wherever you go in Switzerland it’s clean and tidy this all based on my ten day stay in the summer of 1982 which is a while ago and obviously things have changed somewhat and I’d like to visit Switzerland again and stay for a fortnight so I can visit the places that I’ve not been to yet such zermatt for the Matterhorn and mount titliss Basel city then Lugano hence Locarno so that’s all for now folks
For me, Switzerland is the most beautiful place on Earth.
@@tantoassassin Iceland isn't really part of Europe, geographically. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm happy for you that Iceland touches your heart.
Such beautiful scenery
Swiss is beautiful country...I would love to visit it some time soon!

We visited Interlaken , Jungfrau in 2014 and the places are amazingly beautiful. Great trip..Bern, Zurich, Interlaken and Jungfrau.
we found this stunning when we were there. But the Canadian Rockies are a very similar rival!

NOSTALGIC MEMORIES OF ONE DAY TOUR OF " TOP OF THE EUROPE" ARE PERMANENTLY STORED IN OUR MEMORIES. 👌👌👍👍
This is a beautifully made video. Many thanks for posting it.
About two and a half years back, I had the pleasure of travelling from Interlaken to Jungefrau joch and back. One can see some of the finest natural beauty in this region. Whole place looks so green and immaculate. It is a giant golf course! The Swiss know how to keep their country clean and beautiful.👌👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful journey

I was there in 2006! I didn't have a great time up on the mountain though because I had HORRIBLE altitude sickness, so my body felt like it was just completely done. But the train ride up was so beautiful, this was great to see and relive it.
La Suisse est Magnifique .
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO
GREAT JOB... "WONDERFUL"...
