Rottalsattel at the Jungfrau

Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau - the triumvirate of the Bernese Alps. Hardly anywhere else do the four-thousand-metre peaks rise so abruptly from the green foothills of the Alps as here. We plan to climb the Jungfrau together! Thanks to the Jungfraujochbahn cable car, we quickly reach the high alpine area and dive straight into a world of ice, rock and firn. We spend the night at the Mönchsjochhütte, surrounded by the glacier world. The next morning we set off early for Jungfrau. The tour leads across the glacier and through combined rock and snow terrain. Technically, it is comparable to the Mönch, but a little longer, more demanding in terms of fitness and with great scenery. A great summit and a varied day - right in the heart of the Alps.

      We set off at dawn in the light of our headlamps towards Jungfrau. The track stretches across the glacier. The ascent to the Rottalsattel becomes increasingly steep. We pass crevasses and impressive icefalls - the high alpine terrain shows its powerful side. A firn ridge leads us over the last steeper passage up to the summit of the Jungfrau, our second four-thousander in two days. After a break at the summit, we descend via the same route and return to the Jungfraujochbahn cable car with many impressions.
