About Jungfraujoch elsewhere

"The peak of the Jungfrau is 4158m (13,642ft) high, with the ridge or ‘joch’ lying below it, where visitors can see the longest glacier in Europe, the 24km (15 miles) long Aletsch Glacier."
worldtouristattractions.travel-guides.com

"As you ascend, point your binoculars at the gleaming dome on the Jungfraujoch across the valley: you can almost hear the winds howling off the Aletsch Glacier."
fodors.com

"The Aletsch Glacier with its 23 kilometers length and 900 meters depth is now a UNESCO World Heritage site."
wikitravel.org

"It begins from the Jungfraujoch on the Valais side and at the Great Aletsch Glacier."
en.wikipedia.org

"If you're not sated with the staggering views from the Jungfraujoch terminus, you can reach yet another height by riding a high-tech 90-second elevator up 364 feet to the Sphinx Terrace : to the south crawls the vast Aletsch Glacier, to the northeast stand the Mönch and the Eiger, and to the southwest -- almost close enough to touch -- towers the tip of the Jungfrau herself."

"(By the way even though wengen and murren are 'car free' there are still cars there -to transport stuff around etc -It's just you can't drive there) I picked lauterbrunnen since it was more convenient because i was planning on going up both sides of the valley -but the trains are so great -that staying in either wengen or murren wouldn't be too much hassle (and the views from the trains would more than make up for the inconvenience) I bought a swiss pass -which if you havent' heard of it -covers all travel in switzerland up to certain altitudes (in the lauterbrunnen valley -up to murren or wengen, then 1/2 price on tickets higher) -It saved me a heap on money -it also includes the boat rides on the two lakes in that area."

About Jungfraujoch

On our stay in Interlaken we decided to do some hiking on the alpine routes. The views were magnificient in the sunny weather while we were climbing up the lower route to the glaciers. A cable car ride would have been possible, but now on hindersight I think hiking was the right choice. It took some hours and wasn't always easy, but it was an Experience. And for our return trip we were able to hop on the Jungfraujoch train from one of the middle stations and sit back on the easy scenic route.

Amazing party and adventure town nestled in the Swiss Alps. Easy to rent bikes, hike, or participate in some of the world's craziest activities such as canyon swings, sky diving, or orbing.

In Grindelwald best short hike short hike is taking cable car to First and hiking to Bachalpsee, to extend trip hike either up or down the mountain.

Another excellent hike is to take cog railway to Kleine Scheidegg, take the easy 90 minute hike to Mannlichen, and then long hike down mountain to Grindelwald.

Consider renting bicycles from the train station, they can be dropped off at over 200 depots in Switzerland. Offer both city and touring bikes at good rates.
