The Junfraujoch no. 7845
The Jungfraujoch is a col between the Jungfrau and the Mönch. It lies at a height of 3,466 meters (11,371 ft) above sea level in the Bernese Alps, on the boundary between the cantons of Bern and Valais, halfway between Interlaken and Fiesch. It is a glacier pass, on the upper snows of the Aletsch Glacier, and part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch area.
Since 1912, the Jungfraujoch is accessible to tourists by the Jungfrau line, a railway from Interlaken and Kleine Scheidegg, running partly underground through a tunnel through the Eiger and Mönch. The Jungfraujoch railway station, at an elevation of 3,454 meters (11,332 ft) is the highest in Europe. It lies east of the saddle, below the Sphinx summit, and is connected to the Top of Europe building, which includes several panoramic restaurants and a post office. Several tunnels lead outside, where secured hiking trails on the crevassed glacier can be followed, in particular to the Mönchsjoch Hut.
The Sphinx Observatory, one of the highest astronomical observatories in the world, provides an additional viewing platform at a height of 3,571 meters or 11,716 feet. It can be reached by an elevator from the Jungfraujoch. The observatory houses one of the Global Atmosphere Watch's atmospheric research stations. The Jungfraujoch radio relay station, which is not accessible to the public, is installed west of the Jungfraujoch, on the Jungfrau ridge. It is Europe's highest radio relay station.
Das Jungfraujoch ist mit 3'466 m ü. M. der tiefste Punkt im Verbindungsgrat zwischen dem Mönch und der Jungfrau in den Berner Alpen, auf der Grenze zwischen den Kantonen Bern und Wallis. Das Joch ist weit und stark überfirnt. Aufgrund der auch dort stattfindenden Gletscherschmelze sinkt es jedes Jahr im Schnitt einige Dezimeter ab. Es gehört zu den bedeutendsten Reisezielen in der Schweiz. Rund 700'000 Touristen fahren jährlich zum höchstgelegenen Bahnhof Europas.
Le Jungfraujoch est un col entre le Mönch et la Jungfrau dans les Alpes bernoises sur la frontière entre les cantons de Berne et du Valais. C'est le point le plus bas sur l'arête entre le Mönch et la Jungfrau, à 3 471 mètres d'altitude. Il est souvent appelé le « toit de l'Europe » dans les guides touristiques et comprend la station de chemin de fer la plus haute d'Europe.
La première traversée a été faite en juillet 1862 par Leslie Stephen, F. J. Hardy, H. B. George, MM. Liveing, Moore, et Morgan, avec les guides Christian Almer, Christian et Peter Michel, Ulrich Kaufmann, P. Baumann et C. Bohren.
Jungfraujoch (3.471 m s.l.m.) è un passo situato fra le montagne Mönch e Jungfrau nelle Alpi bernesi in Svizzera, al confine fra i cantoni di Berna e Vallese. Questa zona ospita il Ghiacciaio dell'Aletsch considerato il più lungo d'Europa e varie strutture che detengono altrettanti primati europei.
