The Jungfraujoch Glacier Palace was constructed in the 1930s and is located in the famed Jungfrau Mountains. Beautiful snow sculptures by world-renowned artists, miniature igloos, rock-cut lights, and much more are housed in the chambers of this magnificent palace. An ice bar serving premium alcoholic beverages and antique whisky are also located among the royal rooms.

Glacier Plateau

The Jungfraujoch is a glacier saddle that connects the Jungfrau and the Mönch, two major 4000-meter peaks in the Bernese Alps. The Jungfraujoch Plateau is a viewing platform with views over the Mittelland up to the Vosges and the Black Forest on one side and the Aletsch glacier bounded by four thousand meter peaks on the other, located just ten minutes from the highest railway station in Europe, the Jungfraujoch.

Alpine Sensation

A 250-meter-long hall and a 360-degree audiovisual panorama are key features of the show at the Alpine Sensation.
