Jungfraujoch

Highlight • Summit

It's so easy to get to 3500müM. By train and without sweating.

1.42 km

If the Mönchsjochhütte is open and there is no fresh snow, you can easily hike to the Mönchsjochhütte and to the entrance to the Mönch.

Good footwear is also necessary on this route. The final meters to the Mönchsjochhütte can be very icy and steep.

Climbing the Mönch is only possible for experienced mountaineers or with a mountain guide.

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 👍🏼

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.
