The Jungfrau at 4,158 meters is one of the main summits of the Bernese Alps, located between the northern canton of Bern and the southern canton of Valais, halfway between Interlaken and Fiesch. Together with the Eiger and Mönch, the Jungfrau forms a massive wall of mountains overlooking the Bernese Oberland and the Swiss Plateau, one of the most distinctive sights of the Swiss Alps.
The Silberhorn 3,695 m is a pyramid-shaped mountain of the Bernese Alps, to the northwest of the Jungfrau of which it is a satellite peak.

Jungfrau is 4158 meters high and is one of main peaks of the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. Together with Eiger and Mönch, Jungfrau forms a unique massif that is characteristic for tourism in the Swiss Alps.
At beginning of 20th century, the Jungfrau railway was built, which connects Kleine Scheidegg with Jungfraujoch (the pass between Mönch and Jungfrau). This area is one of most visited places in the Alps. With the Aletsch Glacier flowing south, Jungfrau was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001.

Jungfrau ma 4158 metrów i jest jednym z głównych szczytów Alp Berneńskich w Szwajcarii. Wraz z Eiger i Mönch, Jungfrau tworzy wyjątkowy masyw charakterystyczny pod względem turystycznym w Alpach Szwajcarskich.
Na początku XX wieku wybudowano kolei Jungfrau, która łączy Kleine Scheidegg z Jungfraujoch (przełęcz między Mönch i Jungfrau). Obszar ten jest jednym z najczęściej odwiedzanych miejsc w Alpach. Wraz z lodowcem Aletsch spływającym na południe, Jungfrau został wpisany na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa w 2001 roku.
Quand on est à Lauterbrunnen, une autre excursion "indispensable" est bien "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". Pour cela, il faut prendre deux trains : de Lauterbrunnen à Kleine Scheidegg, puis de Kleine Scheidegg à Jungfraujoch.
Quand vous sortez du train, vous êtes tombez directement en hiver. La neige est encore intacte même à mi-août. Le spectacle est une fois de plus grandiose. Plusieurs randonnées s'offrent à vous. Mais personnellement, mes genoux ne m'ont pas permis de marcher sur la neige :( Quel regret ! :(((
When you are in Lauterbrunnen, another "essential" excursion is "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". To do this, you have to take two trains: from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg, then from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch.
When you get off the train, you have fallen straight into winter. The snow is still intact even in mid-August. The spectacle is once again awe-inspiring. Several hikes are available to you. But personally, my knees did not allow me to walk on the snow :( What a regret!: (((
Sunset on Jungfrau Region near Grindelwald, Interlaken-Oberhasli administrative district, canton of Bern, Switzerland
The village of Grindelwald is nestled in a unique and impressive Alpine landscape. The Wetterhorn, Schreckhorn, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau form the ice-capped mountain scenery of the glacier village.
Thanks to its magnificent vista and the glacier which once reached right into the basin, Grindelwald attracted its first guests – primarily the English – from the end of the 18th century onwards. The actual breakthrough of Alpinism occurred in the mid 19th century, and local mountain guides climbed the peaks of the region with English tourists. The first ascent of the Eiger, the most difficult of Alpine mountains took place in 1858 (the north face only in 1938).
Road and railway construction made Grindelwald much more accessible towards the end of the 19th century, which in turn also heralded the onset of winter tourism. The first cableway in the Alps was built here in 1908 on the Wetterhorn. And in 1912, a railway reached the Jungfraujoch via Kleine Scheidegg; today the «Top of Europe» still remains Europe’s highest railway station and a world-renowned excursion destination within permanent snow and ice.
Die Jungfrau ist ein Berg in der Schweiz. Sie ist mit 4158,2 m ü. M. der dritthöchste Berg der Berner Alpen und bildet zusammen mit Eiger und Mönch eine markante Dreiergruppe, ein sogenanntes „Dreigestirn“.
