    Its really a very nice mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, it has white, snow-capped peaks.And the Ice Palace at Jungfraujoch is the highest of its kind in the world .Only seasoned hikers and mountaineers are advised to attempt climbing Mount Jungfrau's steep rock faces. However, you can take a Jungfraujoch railway and explore the multiple activities available to you at Jungfraujoch.

    The tour begins with a scenic train ride from either Interlaken or Grindelwald, which takes you through picturesque Swiss villages, valleys, and mountain meadows. Once at the summit, the experience is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Visitors can explore the Sphinx Observation Deck, which provides 360-degree views of surrounding mountain ranges, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks.

    The Matterhorn is one of the most iconic mountains in the Swiss Alps, renowned for its distinctive pyramid shape and stunning beauty. The surrounding area, particularly Zermatt, provides a charming alpine village experience with a range of outdoor activities. The Gornergrat railway offers spectacular panoramic views of the Matterhorn and the surrounding peaks.

    The Ice Palace of the Jungfraujoch is 30 meters below the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe. It is filled with various realistic animal ice sculptures, silently telling the history of the glacier. The Ice Palace is located 20 meters below the Jungfraujoch Observation Deck. This glacier tunnel is a cave-like room and hall with crystal clear ice sculptures of various shapes, which are very interesting. Because the ground is also ice, you have to walk slowly in the Ice Palace, and some places are still a bit slippery. At the end of the Ice Palace is the outdoor observation deck of the Jungfraujoch. After adapting to the temperature in the Ice Palace, you will not feel the cold outside.

    It is a very subtle feeling to soak in hot springs while looking at the snow-capped mountains. The hot springs here are all mineral springs, and the temperature is not very high. Your skin will feel smooth after soaking. For those who are afraid of cold, it is better to go to a hotel with a hot spring pool, especially an indoor one, to enjoy the pleasure of a private pool.

    The Alaich Glacier is actually a landscape that looks like a snowy road. It is not cold on a sunny summer day. The wide-angle lens will be very good when you look at the glacier from the viewing platform. There are many piles of stones for making wishes on the mountain. There are also restaurants, and even in summer, they prepare woolen shawls for customers to keep warm.
