One of the highlights of the Jungfrau Region of Switzerland is the Jungfraujoch mountain where the highest observation deck in Europe is located giving it the title of ‘Top of Europe’. To reach the observation deck, one has to board the Jungfrau Railway. There is the option to board the Eiger Express cable car and join the railway halfway up the Jungfraujoch or simply hop on the Wengernalp Railway and change at Kleine Scheidegg. Of course, one chose the latter…
We parked the WAV at Lauterbrunnen and subsequently boarded the Wengernalp Railway at said location. As one was a little unsure of the accessibility, the manual wheelchair it was. However, one was delighted to see a boarding ramp at Lauterbrunnen station.
As I mentioned, if one is using the Wengernalp Railway, it is necessary to change at Kleine Scheidegg station. Now, when you think of assisted travel, do you think of this…
Needless to say that this was the first time one has been lifted by forklift!
Of course, the first thing that everyone wishes to do once at the top is brave Europes highest observation deck (Spynx Terrace). It is quite spectacular and easy to roll around…
It was then that we realised that there was an exit onto the mountain, one couldn’t resist…
Of course, one wouldn’t recommend doing this in an electric wheelchair as the snow is rather thick!
Another highlight of the Jungfraujoch is the Ice Palace for which there is a lift available…
After our descent, it was time to jump back in the WAV for the 60 minute drive to Switzerland’s capital, Bern. However, just admire this view when one stopped for pizza…
