Simply the most beautiful

Babbling mountain streams, crystal-clear mountain lakes, mountain villages rich in tradition and a mountain world close enough to touch. This is the Jungfrau Region: Pocket-sized Switzerland in a very confined space. The Jungfrau Region stretches from urban Interlaken across two valleys up to the eternal ice. The huge massif of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, with the glacier landscape around the Aletsch Glacier, forms the centre of the UNESCO Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch World Heritage Site up there. It is this diversity of the Jungfrau Region that captivates people from all over the world. It simply doesn’t get more Swiss than this.
