+ About this map
The Jungfrau rises 13,642 feet in the Bernese Alps, the westernmost summit of the famous trio it forms with the Mönch and the Eiger. Together the three peaks present a single great wall of rock and ice above the meadows of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. On the far side of that wall lies the Aletsch Glacier, the longest in the Alps, and the whole region is protected as the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage site. The Jungfraujoch railway, the highest in Europe, tunnels through the Eiger and Mönch to a saddle just below the summit.
This map shows the sharp divide the mountain creates. The contour lines crowd together on the north side, where the face plunges toward the Lauterbrunnen valley, then open into the broad glacial basins that feed the Aletsch on the south. The saddle of the Jungfraujoch appears as a clear gap in the ridgeline between the Jungfrau and the Mönch, a notch in an otherwise unbroken crest of ice.
