With the Jungfrau Railway to the most beautiful views and thus up to the highest station in the world. Top of Europe - 3,454 meters.

It is quite impressive when you look up from Grindelwald and see the eternal ice of the triumvirate of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau shining in the sun. Some of the three peaks rise over 4,000 meters into the blue sky and seem unreachable. But you get up there faster than you think.

If you follow Roli Fontanive's advice and stories and climb the mountains by train, you start in Interlaken Ost and drive to Lauterbrunnen. Here you change trains and take the Wengernalpbahn to Kleine Scheidegg station, at an altitude of 2061 meters - the starting point of the Jungfrau Railway. At 33 km/h, the train has the ideal speed for taking photos, but just over seven kilometers of the 9.2-kilometer route is in a tunnel. At the "Eismeer" station, it's worth getting off to take unique photos of the magnificent glacier world. "During the ride," says Roli, "you overcome 1,400 meters of altitude." At the top, you reach a completely different, fantastic world. Roli likes to take the first train up, then you often enough still have the viewpoints to yourself.

His tip for a first view: "The Aletsch Glacier impresses everyone. It is about 22 kilometers long and is lined by numerous four-thousand-meter peaks. At its deepest point, near Konkordiaplatz, it is almost 900 meters thick." In the middle of summer, you can trudge through snow up here. Or walk through the ice palace. Mountain guides created the passages and halls in the thirties with picks and saws in the middle of the glacier ice. Roli Fontanive: "In hidden niches you can find sculptures designed by our ice masters, such as eagles or penguins." A summer hiking trail in the eternal winter dress leads in 60 minutes to the highest catered hut in Switzerland - the Mönchsjochhütte. "You can even spend the night there," Roli says. The hut offers stunning views as far as central and eastern Switzerland, as well as the Valais mountains. The hut is open daily. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., you can enjoy down-to-earth Swiss specialties as well as selected fine wines.
