Jungfrau — the snow and lakes at the pinnacle of Europe

Jungfrau is the essence of the Alps. Four days and three nights, between the cogwheel train, Cherang Peak, and the lake, breathe deeply in Europe's purest cold.

The base is Interlaken, nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with the snowy summit of Jungfrau right outside the window. The town is an outdoor paradise, with paragliders skimming overhead and landing on the lakeside grasslands.

Take the rack railway up Jungfrau to the 3,454-meter European Peak station, nestled in the mountains. Outside the Sphinx viewpoint, the Aletsch Glacier stretches out, offering the most magnificent glacier panorama in the Alps.

The floating revolving restaurant at Summit Xuelang offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding peaks, and the cable car at the 007 filming location is thrilling and thrilling. On clear days, over 200 snow-capped peaks form a white sea beneath your feet.

The waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz are as green as jewels, and boats dock in fairytale-like towns. Hiking or boating along the lakeshore is the best way to slow down.

The purity of Jungfrau is so pure it borders on luxury. When you exhale a breath of white air on the snowy peak and watch the clouds roll beneath your feet, you will understand: some scenery is only meant to reward those willing to rise early.
