High tour | Jungfrau with Swiss mountain guide
High tour to the glaciated giant of the Bernese Oberland.
Technics
Endurance
Jungfrau, Bern
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 evening before and 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.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet the evening before at the Mönchsjochhütte. Dinner is served there at 18:30. We get to know each other and discuss the tour for the following day.
Still in the early dawn, we set off by the light of our headlamps towards Jungfrau. The track winds its way across the glacier. The ascent to the Rottalsattel becomes increasingly steep. We pass crevasses and impressive ice falls – the high-alpine terrain reveals its most formidable side. A firn ridge leads us up the final steep section to the summit of Jungfrau, which lies at 4,158 metres above sea level. After a break at the summit, we descend via the same route and return to the Jungfraujochbahn, our minds filled with memories of the day.
We take the railway back and finish the tour together in Grindelwald.

Accommodation
Mönch Sjoch Hut
The Mönchsjoch Hut is situated amidst the high-alpine glacier landscape between Mönch and Jungfrau. As Switzerland’s highest staffed SAC hut, it offers an impressive base for high-altitude tours and summit ascents. It impresses with its exposed location and unique views of the surrounding four-thousand-metre peaks and the sunrise. It is our ideal starting point for the ascent of the Jungfrau.
