| The Jungfraujoch at 3454 meters (11,332 feet) is not only one of Switzerland’s most attractive excursion destinations and vantage points. It has also proved to be an excellent location for a wide variety of research projects. The high altitude, clear air, and easy access by mountain railway are ideal conditions for a wide range of scientific work. Astronomers, geologists, physicists, meteorologists and hydrologists – they all make an essential contribution towards our understanding of the environment. The Jungfraujoch is also a small village not lacking in the appropriate amenities for its guests. Europe’s highest post office is at your service. And for Alpinists the “Joch” is the starting point for many a memorable tour. |
