View of the Aletsch Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the Aletsch Glacier.

The Great Aletsch Glacier is the largest and longest glacier in the Alps in terms of area. It is located on the southern slope of the Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The length of the glacier is 22.6 km, and the area is given as 78.49 km². The Aletsch Glacier drains into the Rhone via the Massa. The area of the entire catchment area of the Massa is 195 km², of which around two thirds were glaciated in 1973. The Upper and Middle Aletsch Glaciers are often included in the area figures, as they were previously connected to the Great Aletsch Glacier. The total glaciated area including these glaciers was around 128 km² in 1973, and an area of 163 km² is assumed for 1863.

View of Jungfraujoch

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you drive up to the Top of Europe on the Jungfrau Railway, you will experience a fascinating world. But should also take one of the first tracks in the morning to get his money. There is much offered. In addition, the thin air, here at over 3000m.ü.M, quite tired 😂 You can tell, if you take the first steps, coming from the train. And as Martin has already mentioned, sunglasses are a must, I had none at that time. But you can buy one there.

Ascent to Mönchsjochhütte

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At first, a hike to the Mönchsjochhütte does not seem too difficult. But with the thin air up here, it is quite tedious, the specified walking time of 45 min. observed. Nevertheless, highly recommended 👍🏼

Mönchsjoch Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Mönchsjochhütte is from the Top of Europe in 45min. reachable, well, me and others needed a bit longer. At an altitude of over 3,500m it's not so easy 😂 It has a large dining room and is well heated. The shoes have to be exchanged for slippers or slippers, which are available on shelves. The hut offers accommodation for mountaineers.

View of the Mönch

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mönch stands in the middle of the world-famous Eiger-Mönch-Jungfrau trio. The 4107m high summit can be reached as a day trip from the Jungfraujoch. Depending on the conditions, it is also worth spending the night in the Mönchsjoch hut the day before so that you can tackle the tour early in the morning. In addition to the magnificent view, this tour offers varied gneiss climbing and a narrow snow ridge at the end. The summit tour of the Mönch is possible all year round in good conditions. Depending on the snow conditions, the approach is on foot, with skis or with snowshoes.

Tour only for experienced mountaineers or with a mountain guide!
