This is Jungfraujoch Station, Europe’s highest train station.

  • Role: journey waypoint
  • In the video: The presenter arrives at the terminus of the Jungfrau Railway, opened in 1912, directly beneath the Sphinx Observatory. He describes workers’ struggles with Alpine winters, rock layers and permafrost, and notes over a million visitors came last year.
  • Why it matters: It is the access point for both tourists and scientists and the end of the 7 km tunnel story.
