Sphinx observation terrace
The new observation building on the Sphinx rock was inaugurated in summer 1996. The Sphinx building and observation terrace stand 117 metres above the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe and provide stunning 360° views. The facility is reached by a spacious double lift carrying up to 1200 persons per hour. The trip to the "Top of Europe“ is spectacular yet safe. Over 500,000 guests visit the Jungfraujoch-Top of Europe every year.
Between heaven and earth
The Jungfraujoch is not only a spectacular vantage point but also an excellent location for a wide range of scientific research projects with the pure air and easy railway access providing ideal prerequisites. Astronomers, geologists, physicists, meteorologists and hydrologists make valuable contributions to environmental research. |
