The Jungfraujoch is a summit in the Swiss alps at 3454 meters altitude. It is part of the Jungfrau mountain region in Grindelwald, which is part of the canton of Bern. The Jungfraujoch can be reached by rail. A train runs up the mountain via a long tunnel that has been carved out of the heart of the Eiger mountain (3970 m) up until the Jungfraujoch summit station, the highest railway station in Europe. The Jungfraujoch is saddle between the Mönch (4107m) and Jungfrau (4158) mountains and is very well-known for it's stunning panoramic views of the Swiss alps. It also provides access to mountain hiking trails on the Jungfraufirn glacier, which joins up with several other glaciers (including the Aletsch glacier, largest in the Alps). You'll have to walk at very slow pace though, to avoid getting dizzy.
