The Jungfraujoch is a place between the Jungfrau and the Mönch. It lies at a height of 3,466 meters (11,371 ft) above sea level in the Bernese Alps, on the boundary between the cantons of Bern and Valais, halfway between Interlaken and Fiesch. It is a glacier pass, on the upper snows of the Aletsch Glacier, and part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch area.
Since 1912, the Jungfraujoch is accessible to tourists by the Jungfrau line, a railway from Interlaken and Kleine Scheidegg, running partly underground through a tunnel through the Eiger and Mönch.
At the top of Jungfraujoch is prepared a several attractions for visitors - Ice Palace, Sphinx Observatory, observatory platforms, zip-line, etc.
In addition there is also a film-projection room was created in the Sphinx Hall and next to it the Edelweiss Cavern with a giant snow dome and original photo images. The topics of "A longing for the mountains" and “The construction of the Jungfrau Railway” will be staged on the two moving walkway sections. Before descending into the Ice Palace, visitors will be able to marvel at Europe’s highest-altitude karst cave.
