Jungfrau Railway

The headline ride, and priced like one. From Kleine Scheidegg the line tunnels through the Eiger and Mönch to Jungfraujoch at 3,454 meters, the highest railway station in Europe, with a brief stop at Eismeer to look out from inside the mountain. At the top, the Sphinx terrace looks down the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps. This is the trip to save for a clear forecast: in cloud you pay a premium fare to stand in fog. The Good Morning Ticket takes 20% off the first two trains up from May through October if you are back down by early afternoon, though it cannot be stacked with rail pass discounts. Seat reservations for the trains to Jungfraujoch are compulsory from May through October.
