A Stop at Eismeer Station on the way to Jungfraujoch

Saturday, March 07, 2020

The Eismeer Station is an underground train station on the Jungfrau Railway, which connects Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch. At the Eismeer Station you can leave the train for 5 minutes and admire the beautiful view of the Ischmeer glacier (Swiss German for Ice Sea). The station lies at 3160m (10368ft) above sea level and is the second highest railway station in Europe. You can find here various viewing windows carved out of the rock face, so passengers can take their own pictures of the glacier.

Remember that the train only stops for 5 minutes and that you're not allowed to stay at the station. You have to reboard the same train and continue you're journey to Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe.
