In this video, we present glamorous, scintillating views of the three major highlights of the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe, i.e. Its History, Alpine Sensation and Panorama Stage. This video is a part of our #JungfrauSeries, and is the FIRST video featuring the highlights of the Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe. The latter remains the TOP favourite destination among International tourists.
HISTORY of JUNGFRAUJOCH - The High Altitude Research Station Jungfraujoch, due to its unique location in an unspoiled high alpine environment at 3500m above sea level, the year-round accessibility via the Jungfrau Railways, and the excellent infrastructure, provides unique conditions for successful research in various disciplines. At present more than half of the projects concern environmental and climatic questions. besides, it is the TOP favourite destination among International tourists. First ideas for a railway to the Jungfrau came up shortly after the inauguration of the Mt. Washington, New Hampshire (USA) railway (1869; first cog railway in the world), and even before the Mt. Rigi Railway in Switzerland started its operation (1871; first cog railway in Europe). The decisive idea for the Jungfrau Railways was finally put forward in 1893 by Adolf Guyer-Zeller, an industrialist and railway enthusiast from the Zürich Oberland. According to his plans the Jungfrau Railways should not begin in the valley near Lauterbrunnen, but from the summit station of the two month old Wengernalp Railway, at Kleine Scheidegg. The whole mountain massif was to be part of the project. Four stations along the track would offer spectacular views. Adolf Guyer also decided that his railway must be operated by electrical power, a technology which had yet to be significantly improved.
Today the Jungfrau Railways is a modern mountain railway of international repute. It makes it possible for more than 1’000000 visitors from all over the world each year to enjoy a unique experience in a spectacular high alpine environment which has been awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2001.

ALPINE SENSATION - A shudder runs down the spine of whoever enters the 250 metre long corridor between the Sphinx Hall and Ice Palace. Not only because of the frosty temperatures, but also because of the sacrifices made by the miners to open up the Jungfraujoch to the railway. 30 memorial tablets bear witness to this. The music on the way also gives you goosebumps: It brings back to life the beginnings of the Jungfraubahn, together with the images from the time of the tourism visionaries. Even if visitors are more comfortable today than the miners were – they feel relieved when, at the end of the experience, they can pose in front of the giant snow globe and say: I made it!

PANORAMA - Sometimes on the Jungfraujoch you can't see the mountains for the clouds. However, this has nothing to do with bad weather – quite the opposite. Clouds are fascinating. Who has not dreamed of plunging into this soft cotton-like wonder? The Jungfrau panorama film makes it possible. It provides a 360-degree panorama of the mountain world that you could never see otherwise – 365 days a year. Visitors race with the camera through clouds, sink into ice crevices or fall into heaps of snow. And this is regardless of what the weather is doing right now. source: [ Ссылка ]
