10 Days 9 Nights Switzerland & Germany Trip, October

Day 2 Morning

🌏Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe

Take the newest Eiger Express from Grindelwald Terminal

Altitude 4,158 meters

Remember to wear sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen, as the sunlight reflected off the snow can be quite glaring. If you have nasal allergies, wear a mask and neck scarf, as the cold and dry air can cause nasal discomfort.

The weather in Switzerland this October is still quite warm, so there isn't much snow.

🌏Sphinx Terrace

The highest outdoor observation deck on Jungfraujoch, at 3,571 meters above sea level. It boasts Switzerland's fastest elevator, taking you from the train station to the observation deck in just 27 seconds. You can get a close-up view of the spectacular Aletsch Glacier.

🌏Alpine Sensation

Learn about the history of the Jungfraujoch Railway construction and admire interesting sculptures. 🌏Ice Palace: Showcases various intricate hand-carved ice sculptures.

🌏Plateau Viewpoint: Here, the snow is very deep, requiring careful walking while holding onto each other. This is the most popular spot for taking photos with the Swiss flag.

Another must-see photo location is Eigergletscher station, located halfway up the mountain, when leaving by train.
