    The Jungfraujoch is a must-see destination in Switzerland, with its perpetual snow-capped peaks and sea of ​​clouds, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The large elevator car that ascends the Eiger Peak seats 25 people, and the view below is breathtaking, with cabins scattered across the verdant grasslands, surrounded by lush forests. The scenery is breathtaking, and every angle offers a breathtaking spectacle. The train to the Top of Europe is an articulated vehicle that travels through caves, so it's not particularly impressive. Some areas may not be open seasonally. I took my two daughters and some other climbers and adventure enthusiasts up a nearly two-kilometer snowy trail, but once we reached the summit, there was no way back. We were exhausted. We found out later that this was some kind of summer attraction, closed in October. The staff didn't even bother to check when we left. It's truly open, killing the curious. 😓

    The cable car is so stable and the atmosphere on the mountain is great. There are different things to do in different seasons. In addition, the sky is very straight. People who are not afraid of heights must try to check in. The nature is really beautiful.

    The Eiger is known as the most dangerous peak in Europe. Its north side is extremely steep, with an average slope of 70 degrees and a vertical drop of 1,800 meters. But the more dangerous it is, the more it can arouse the interest of explorers and climbers. The Jungfrau Railway Passport records a tragedy of a failed climb on the north slope. We ordinary people can just admire it at the foot of the mountain, and Grindelwald is a great place to appreciate the Eiger. The dreamy hillside of the Internet celebrity is at the foot of the Eiger.

    It should be the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Located at an altitude of 2,265 meters, Lake Bachalpsee is a high mountain lake in the Jungfrau Mountains. The most beautiful moment is when the sharp and towering peak of Schreckhorn is reflected on the calm lake surface. The hiking trail from First to Bachalpsee was selected as one of the 15 most classic trails in the world by National Geographic Magazine in 2012, and it was described as absurdly beautiful.
