Discover the Bernese Alps: excursions not to be missed
The Bernese Alps, a natural jewel of Switzerland, offer a variety of unforgettable excursions for lovers of mountains and spectacular landscapes. Some of the most remarkable excursions around Wengen include Jungfraujoch, Winteregg-Mürren and Kleine Scheidegg.
Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe
Jungfraujoch or the highest train station in Europe. Located at an altitude of 3,454 meters, you will feel from the first moment that you are in another world. A world where snow and ice are 100% guaranteed.
The Jungfraujoch is a glacier pass that can be reached by cog railway, offering breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks and surrounding glaciers. Discover the highlights of the Jungfrau region, from Interlaken to Grindelwald.
UNESCO World Heritage Site: The Great Aletsch Glacier
The Great Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps. It is surrounded to the north by the Jungfrau massif, to the south by the Rhone Valley, to the east by Lake Märjelen and to the west by the Aletschhorn. From the summit of Jungfraujoch, it is impossible not to succumb to this immense 20km river of ice.
Everlasting snow and ice
Impossible to find a view as spectacular as this one elsewhere: on one side the landscapes extend to the Black Forest and the Vosges, on the other side, the Grand Aletsch Glacier, surrounded by peaks reaching over 4,000 meters in altitude, is majestically visible. On the glacier platform, visitors find snow and ice at all times of the year.
The Ice Palace
The most ephemeral thing turns out to be the most beautiful. This is the case for the Ice Palace and its treasures. Created in the 1930s in the heart of the Jungfraufirn by mountain guides using peaks and saws, the alleys and rooms of the Ice Palace now reveal works of art made of ice. On a tour through this mirror-smooth space, visitors will admire these works of art in every corner. Representations of animals such as an eagle, a penguin or a bear seem almost natural as if they had just been frozen.
