Snow and Mountains of Jungfraujoch in Switzerland


During perfect weather-conditions, THIS is the place to be : The Jungfrau-Plateau is a place, where you may get outside and have a great view of the surrounding mountains and the Grosse Aletschgletscher. The Plateau is a rather flat area, BUT it is also quite windy there and so it is icy and quite slippery even during the summer. There is the swiss flag in the centre and a fence made by ropes marks the area, that you are allowed to walk. That rope-fence is your only chance to get some hold, when walking - it might make sense to have good mountain-boots and/or walking-sticks there! I was there end of october, in great sunshine and a part of the snow was soft, BUT at certain places it was really icy and dangerous! Do NOT expect to be able to look down to Interlaken, you may just see the mountains behind of it in the panorama.
