So we’re now at the Eiger Glacier Station which is around 2,320m above sea level.

  • Role: journey waypoint
  • In the video: After riding the Eiger Express gondola, the presenter reaches Eiger Glacier Station, where the Jungfrau Railway tunnel begins its steep climb. It is described as one of the last chances to see daylight on the way up.
  • Why it matters: Minor waypoint on the route; start of the tunnel section.
