The Jungfrau railway

(German: Jungfraubahn)

 

which runs 9 kilometres from Kleine Scheidegg and from there to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m),

between the Bernese Oberland and Valais.

 

The railway runs almost entirely within a tunnel built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and contains two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside.

 

The open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland
