The air thins as the train threads up the valley; snowfields rear up and the Eiger’s north face glares down. From Interlaken you climb by rail and aerial cableway, stepping onto Jungfraujoch — the "Top of Europe" at 3,454 m — where a viewing platform, the Sphinx Observatory and an Ice Palace carved inside glacial ice frame a raw alpine panorama.
