- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- In this rare and special train video of Switzerland, we present the driver view of the Jungfrau railway's journey between 'Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe' and Kleine Scheidegg mountain stations. It is a 9 kms (5.6 mi) long journey between Jungfraujoch and Kleine Scheidegg stations, with an altitude difference of about 1.4 kms (0.86 mi). Jungfrau railway uses a 1000 mm metre gauge track and a Strub rack system. Out of 9 kms (5.6 mi) journey, the 7 kms (4.3 mi) long track runs steeply through the tunnel inside the mountains - Eiger and Mönch, and has been one of the most ambitious projects of Switzerland. Construction on this ambitious project was started in 1896 and the Jungfraujoch station was inaugurated in 1912.
For over 100 years, Jungfraujoch mountain station has remained the highest altitude train station in Europe.
Feel the hard work of the workers and enjoy the journey inside the tunnel as well as when the train comes out of the tunnel.

I need to revisit this line and experience ‘The top of Europe’ again….such an incredible place
Undoubtedly it is! Next time, try a glacier walk outside the Jungfraujoch station too 😊
@@AKSense I did, was a fascinating experience.
Having made this train journey many times I can only say it is THE most beautiful scenery in the world from jungfrau. Top of the world. I also loved the train tunnels and the viewing windows on route to the top. Kev from the uk.
Greetings from Switzerland 🙌🏻😊
You are raising my excitement level! For the last several weeks, you have been taking all of the trips that I plan to make in August, including this one. I've reserved my seat!. I plan to visit as many places as I can during my one-week trip to the Jungfrau Valley, including cruises on the Thunersee and Brienzersee. Thank you for this video as I know now that I have to change trains As I haven't been in Europe since 1986, I am SO looking forward to this trip.
*Please note that you don’t necessarily need to change the train at Eigergletscher station* . There are direct trains from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch and vice a versa. Read the display at the station and inside the train monitor to be better informed. You will also receive announcements inside the train in English. Hoping for a great weather during your stay time here so that you can enjoy maximum...🍀🤞🏼
Thanks, that's helpful@@AKSense
Been to Wengen skiing in the early 90's with parents and brother. What an experience, the train journey up to the face of the Eiger. My 81 year old dad has skied Wengen virtually the same week for the past 20+ years, except 2019 when my mum had been in hospital and obviously 2021, NO ski season. Skied in Wengen in 2020, returned home 2 weeks before lockdown. He has also been during the summer. Same hotel everytime, he could have almost booked his room the previous year. I applied for a job in that hotel before dam brexit, they remembered my dad very well.
Thank you very much for this video and all the others.
The last time I rode this train was in 1988...
I hope to do it again soon.
Our pleasure! Glad our works are worth your time 🙌🏻
What a Awesome ride on a train.❤
What a great opportunity you have given me to do the ride in the tunnel. As I have big problems with altitude I haven't get higher as Eigergletscher station.
It's really very impressive!
Thank you😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
You’re so welcome! 😊 Glad you could virtually enjoy this high altitude ride with us 🙌🏻
I have ridden the Jungfraujochban back in 1984; it was interesting viewing from this vantage point! Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure! Glad we could rekindle your beautiful memories 🤩
I work at the Top and at the Eigergletscher station during my summer job, glad you came to visit
Cool! Where do you work there? This week we were at Eigergletscher station few times and we hiked Eiger trail.
@@AKSense I work as a platform assistant and information post, you may have seen me I wear one of the yellow wests with a big i on it.
Second to last time I returned from Jungfraujoch to Wengen, I almost threw up and had to take several headache pills! Be careful with how long you're staying up there, the altitude sickness is a real danger. Better to go up to Jungfraujoch after a couple of days of acclimatization in Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, or even better, Wengen or Mürren. But despite this, they remain my favorite mountains in Europe!
Yes, altitude sickness is real and some suffer more than others. Acclimatizing at intermediate altitude villages helps a lot ✌🏻
Slight problem, Wengen is at quite low altitude. That is why it struggles for snow at times these days.
Yes, I went up back in around 2003. I was quite taken aback by the thinness of the air at the summit, and was not surprised when I was told anyone with a pacemaker was not permitted to travel above Kline Schidegg. Walking down the passsgeway to the glacier and ice display I had to take it easy.
Acclimatizing at an altitude of ar least 1600 m is not only recommanded, it‘s mandatory! I have seen Japanese tourist arrivin directly from Lucerne to Zermatt walking through the village to Klein Matterhorn Cableway and up to the Klein Matterhorn in approx 1 h (alt. 3400 m) and collapsing at the arrival. But they were up in the mountains at least…😂😂😂
@@danielschlatter7606 Klein Matterhorn is actually the highest mountain top accessible by cable car in Europe, at over 3800 m. So it can be quite a serious effort on the organism. This year I have risked a cable car trip up the Aiguille du Midi after staying for 2 days in Chamonix at 1000 m. I didn't have anything, so the experience may vary even for the same person. But I did take a vasodilating medicine beforehand as a precaution.
Amazing engineering,1 was there about 10 years ago,think it was celebrating 100 years ,amazing feat of engineering
Woow my husband and I we've been there 2years ago and all i can say is really amazing and one of my unforgetable moment...GOD BLESS U .❤❤😊
Thank you 🙏🏼😊 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
It's been 23 years since I spent a week in Wengen. Gave up the best day skiing to take the train up to Jungfraujoch. It's nice seeing the changes. All your wonderful videos make me want to come back soon. Another great start to my day. ❤ from NZ 🇳🇿
Many thanks for your kind feedback! 😊
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🙌🏻
13:51 I hope they will re-open the "Eigerwand " station on day !
The view from there was absolutely terrific !
Years ago I took trains up to the top. I must do it again.
I love transport in mountain range. Roads and trains like this. Awesome video!
Thank you very much! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🙌🏻
What a trip so much tunnels, Thanks.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed our content 😊
Das war sehr interessant. Was für ein gigantisches Bauwerk. Danke für's Teilen und mitnehmen☺🍀
You are so welcome! Glad it was worth your time 😊
Wow.. da ist ja einiges neu gebaut worden.. zum der tunnelausgang.. "eigergletscher" kenne ich ja so noch garnicht. hammer - eine tolle mitfahrt..
Eigergletscher is a new station, especially because of Eiger Express cable car
Amazing ride from Jungfraujoch.
Glad you enjoyed 😊
Great video amid some beautiful scenery , when you emerge from the tunnels . Would love to ride that train . Be quite an experience .
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed 😊
WOW! This was stunning. Thx for sharing 👍
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this work…you may check out our other videos of Switzerland 🇨🇭😊
I've been looking for a good, complete cab-view of the Jungfraubahn tunnel section for over ten years. Thank-you! 😊 (Dare we hope for a video going the other way, from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch?)
Our pleasure!! Glad we could provide it.
Yes we will release the video going up as well
@@AKSense Hooray!
Nice. I'm waiting for such a train to Mt. Everest.
Fingers crossed! However, don’t expect it before 50 years from now 😉
لطيف جدا وجيد انا فى انتظار مثل هذا القطار ذات يوم وذهابى الى جبل ايفرست..........
❤❤❤❤❤❤ 1:47
Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.
Our pleasure! Thanks, you too 🙌🏻😊
3 times thanks!
1 _ This is a valuable geological visit of the inner part of the Eiger mountain: see for instance between 16:25 and 16:27 the thin vein of yellow quartzite.
2 _ The full video of the tunnel shows clearly the horizontal and vertical alignment of the line, together with some landmarks: the Eismeer station, the Eigerwand station with its 3 big windows on the wall, the Stollenloch at 16:15, a possible emergency exit for climbers in difficulty.
3 _ That remains me a train ascent without the descent in March 2003, because it was the start of 3 marvelous days of ski touring: Mönchsjoch, Grünhornlücke, Lötschenlücke, and finally Blatten, with 2 nights in the Konkordia Hütte. Going midnight to the loo, which is a separate construction from the refuge, I experienced the only time of my life, the sight of the zodiacal light. Over the Aletschhorn. After this trip, the dream continues with all the photos from then.
You are so welcome!! And thanks for adding more information here for the interested audience. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🙌🏻
I like the bit where it goes through a tunnel...
@@K1W1fly I like the part where it leaves a tunnel...
But no this is a good video though
@Demorah138 Thank you. Glad you liked this work.
We fully understand that “audiences have varied tastes and preferences”😊
Beautiful train ride tour
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻😊
Impressive work
I ❤ Switzerland
For those who live in Brazil, in São Paulo, this train is using a similar system in Paranápiacaba - Cubatão line.
(Este é um sistema de cremalheira que nem a gente usa aqui")
Wow, and I thought Flåm line was steep 🙂
👍🏼😊
Vielen Dank für dieses Video! Ich würde das Gleiche gerne aus der entgegengesetzten Richtung sehen: nämlich von der Einfahrt in den Tunnel bei der Station Eigergletscher - anstatt ihn zu verlassen.
Thank you for this video! I would like to see the same thing from the opposite direction: entering the tunnel at the Eigergletscher station - instead of leaving it.
Our pleasure! We will release the forward journey as well….😊
@@AKSense Danke! Ich freue mich!
thanks for the ride👍
Any time! Glad you enjoyed 🙌🏻
Amazing views!
Glad you enjoyed 🙌🏻😊
Dzień dobry, fajne wideo.👌
Miłego dnia.
Pozdrawiam
Thanks. You too! 🙌🏻
Die Tunnelfahrten sind ja seeeeeehr spannend...😉
😉😁👍🏼
Wouldn't want to meet one coming the other way. 😀
🤣
Great.
Because of what the overhead wires look like, i could say its not a regular train. ITS A TROLLEYTRAIN
It has two paralell overhead wires because like the Gonergratbahn it runs on 3 Phase current. However the collection is by two half pantographs not trolley wheels.
just great 😊
The change of trains is AT Kleine Sheidegg to catch the train on to Wegen.
Enjoyed that, thank you
Our pleasure! 😊
красота))))😊
Excellent video, likes from me!
Many thanks! 😊
I reckon that if Mt Everest was in Switzerland there would be a railway to the top with a restaurant there as well.
Quite possibly 😉😁
Beautiful experience. Any chance for the POV , other way , around to the top? :)
Yes we will release the up journey as well (but an exact week/month can’t be confirmed). Stay tuned 😊
It is very strange that at Kleine Scheidegg you have to change to another train because the two lines to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald have unfortunatelly been constructed with an 800 millimeter gauge. And at these two stations you have to change the train once again because the rest of the track to Interlaken is using 1000 mm track once again. This makes direct trains from Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch impossible. Let us hope they change the tracks in the middle section one day to end this crazy gauge mess.
Why does it matter? Why on earth is this important? The track gauge is not the only difference. The train from Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfrau Joch uses three phase electric power (whch is pretty rare) while the trains from the Kleine Scheidegg to Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen use single phase electric power.
Just step out of the train and take a few minutes to enjoy the scenery at Kleine Scheidegg, jeez... it's actually even more impressive than at the very top!
OMG y mas OMG.....que túnel tan largo, este túnel es mas largo que el mes de mayo. Desde chile....BIANCA ANTONELLA DI VANNI DI BIAGGIO, edad 27
🤣🤣😅😁 yes it is a long tunnel through mountains 🏔️ ⛰️
Hope you enjoyed a bit 😊
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🙌🏻
Danke für das Video 👏🏻👌🏻….. kurze Frage: die Türen bei 19:30…wo führen die hin?
Good Video. 😃👍🏼
Glad you liked it 🙌🏻😊
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
das erinnert mich an die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Welt...
Jak na 1912 rok to musiało być bardzo nowoczesne rozwiązanie techniczne . Wentylacja grawitacyjna , elektryczne zasilanie i oczywiście kolej zębata. I ta mijanka w połowie trasy . Mylę się ?
for such a technical work, started about 130 years ago? it was inaugurated in 1912 (not started)
I went there in 1981 with my father, mother, brother and sister, but at the top, I did not feel very well due to the high altitude!
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, altitude sickness is real for some people and travelers should acclimatize themselves around middle altitudes before going higher.
Szuper
25 years ago I visited Jungfraujoch caught the early bird train to summit December 1999, on the way train stopped briefly at Eiger Station for those like to have brief look out where glass doors are, that lead to North Face wall of Eiger. Do trains still make stop on up direction to Jungfraujoch?
The early bird trip on 1st train day to Jungfraujoch get to sphinx observatory watch sunrise above Italian side of the Alps fluffy white clouds awesome experience well worth 4am start from Reichenbach Im kandertal get summit. See ice tunnels walk briefly on shoulder of Jungfrau. Glacier trekking didn't have time for but love go back do things mist
Yes, Jungfrau train stops at two stations with window viewing platforms while going up
E' veramente una opera imponente di cui fino ad ora mi chiedevo come fosse tecnicamente possibile la sua realizzZione ! !: Sono piu' che giustificati i costi di usufrutto !
Spooky ride wooooo
😁
It must have been hard for the guys who actually climbed up the mountain to hear that a railway was going to be built and you could then take a train up.
It doesn't go all the way up, and the Jungfrau is still not an easy climb even from Jungfraujoch.
👍👍👍👍👍
How is it that you have to change of train at Eigergletscher station ?
Because we didn’t board the direct train to Kleine Scheidegg and took the alternate connection. Direct as well as via (internal) stop at Eigergletscher, both types of trains run between Jungfraujoch and Kleine Scheidegg. Follow the directions given at the stations.
@@AKSense of course, but limited service between Eigeegletscher and Jungfeaujoch did not exist the last time I went there (of course it's s dating back a few years) and I didn't find it in the timetables feom the official website
@tontonbeber4555 Since the inauguration of new *Eiger Express cable car* to Eigergletscher in Dec. 2020, it is a routine operation.
Jungfraubahn station is also a bomb shelter, you can see the blast doors at 0:59
Am I right to assume water dripping through is NOT good?
Water seeping through the mountains/between the rocks is a natural thing. As safety remains one of the highest priorities in Switzerland, I won’t doubt the technical team of Jungfrau who always prioritizes the safety of human beings.
Actually the Lhasa train station in Tibet is higher.
It maybe…but Tiber isn’t in Europe. 😊*Jungfraujoch train station is the highest altitude train station in Europe*
Higher, but not with such an impressive scenery, because Tibet is mostly a high-altitude plateau. The highest station in the world is actually on the Lhasa-Golmud railway, at Tanggula Pass (5200 m or so high).
Wenn man sich das mal auf der Zunge zergehen lässt.. wie krass das eigentlich ist..
Ich will da hoch..
Ja dann kletter´doch..
Mit nem Zug!
Man kann da aber nicht einfach hoch fahren, zu steil..
Dann nehmen wir eine Zahnradbahn..
Okay..? Da oben ist aber noch Schnee, und Felsen und Lawinen!
Wir nehmen einfach den Berg.. und machen.. ein Loch rein!..
Okay...
😅😅😁
Wonderful but does seem slow.
Well it’s not a rollercoaster ride 😉 (maximum speed allowed on this cogwheel track is 20km/hr)
I spend a lot of time at 10,000'. My brain doesn't like 12,000'.
А чо так страшно 😮внутри?
It’s a loooonnggggg and dark tunnel 😉
Btw. if you translate the name literally it translates to: Virgin train, between Virgin Pass and ... i wont translate that last one as it only works if you take away the gg.
No need to translate everything 😉😁
I'd like driving that train to be my job, please.
May your wish come true someday 🤞🏼🍀
für diese tätigkeit kann heute firma kaum mehr personal finden. lokführer hat heute vorteile, er kann sich selbst alles aussuchen. wo auf welchen strecken man fahren will, zu welchen zeiten, und mit welchen lokomotiven. jobs wie dieser, meist in einem loch haben kein potential mehr, das gehört längst schon automatisiert. da sitzt dann am führerplatz ein großer eisbär aus stoff, der lacht immer😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😮😮😮
Magnifique le tunnel ! vous vous fouter de la tete des gens ! je me désabonne immediatement !
What do you mean? We didn’t understand your point.
Wtf ?
🚂🚉🚇☺️😊😚😘🥰❤️🤟🇹🇭
Lange Fahrt 😂
