Jungfrau region panorama view

Breathtaking 360° panorama view from the Jungfrau region including "big three" Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, taken at "Kleine Scheidegg".

The Kleine Scheidegg ("minor watershed") is a high mountain pass (2061 m / 6762 ft) located below the famous Eiger North Face in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. It reveals a spectacular view on the Jungfrau region, including the "big three" Eiger (3970 m / 13026 ft), Mönch (4107 m / 13475 ft) and Jungfrau (4158 m / 13642 ft). The Kleine Scheidegg hosts a railway station of the Jungfrau Railway, a pioneer of all mountain railways. The Jungfrau Railway runs within the Eiger and Mönch up to the Jungfraujoch (3454 m / 11333 ft), Europe's highest altitude railway station.

The Jungfrau Region has a UNESCO World Heritage site - the first in the Alps, with numerous mountain lakes, rivers, streams, cascading waterfalls, glaciers (including the Aletsch Glacier, at 22 kilometres / 14 miles, the longest in the Alps) and peaks (including Jungfrau, Top of Europe). The climate ranges from Mediterranean to Arctic.

This view doesn't seem to be from Jungfraujoch...maybe somewhat lower region Eismeer or Eiger. Jungfrau will be celebrating centenary year in 2012 for the highest railway station in Europe.

@biswaborkakoty As you can read in my detailed comment, the video was taken from the "Kleine Scheidett": "The Kleine Scheidegg ("minor watershed") is a high mountain pass (2061 m / 6762 ft) located below the famous Eiger North Face in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland."

Thanks, I.m due for my 5th visit on late August.

@MrStan1941 Oh my god, that is embarrassing to hear for me as a Swiss who just has been at the Jungfrau region twice, but having half of your age, I still have some time to beat your number of visits... ;-)

Enjoy your 5th visit!

[MrStan1941]

I mean I could keep going there.

[luckylaika]

@MrStan1941 Yes indeed, so could I... so far, I've been there twice and both times I was lucky to have brilliant weather and enough snow to make it a perfect day. I can only encourage people to go the Jungfrau region once they happen to be in Switzerland.

[MrStan1941]

Thanks.You may be interested to know that I have tune called Kleine Scheidegg in my system. It is to a hymn first line "We are a work in progress"

[luckylaika]

@MrStan1941 don't know exactly what you mean.

[MrStan1941]

You can't see too much pof this region

[luckylaika]

Yes, indeed. It's worth visiting, especially on a sunny winter day!
