August 5: Jungfrau - Top of Europe

The train that takes us half way up the mountain where we catch another train to the top
We are staying in Lauterbrunnen, the closest town you can drive to access the Jungfrau Mountain.  We took the bus that stopped right in front of the campground back into town to catch the train that takes us up to Klein-Scheidigg where we catch a train that goes one and a half hours through the interior of the mountains to get to the top of Jungrau.

A view of Lauterbrunnen and one of its many waterfalls from the train.
Aboard the Train heading up the Mountain


Getting above the clouds


















We saw quite a few of these unusual slate roofs















This was a stop inside the mountain where they have some windows you can look out at the clouds and snow

Those are people at the top of the mountain.  Access is from inside the mountain through tunnels and even an elevator!  

We took the elevator to the top and enjoyed this view


And this view of a glacier


An ice cave is part of the massive facilites they have on the mountain top (or should I say inside the mountain?)

Returning down the mountain
