The highest railroad station in Europe at 3,454 meters, the Jungfraujoch is like a small village, with a hotel, restaurants, research stations, and underground passages leading to an Ice Palace carved from the glacier and to sports venues for skiing and dogsledding.
An elevator climbs even higher to a viewing platform at the 3,573-meter summit of the Sphinx, not far below the summit of the Mönch. To the south, you can see the Aletsch glacier, and to the north, the mountain world of the Alps.
