2-Day Ascent of the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps

The Jungfrau mountain is the highest of three famous mountains in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. The word Jungfrau means maiden or virgin. With her snow-covered summit, this peak is truly an emblem of beauty. To reach her top it's best to go with a seasoned guide. On this 2-day ascent of the Jungfrau, I will gladly show you the way!

We'll meet in Grindelwald. This beautiful alpine village has also starred in many films! Then we’ll take the Jungfraujoch train until the last stop – Jungfraujoch. From there, we will begin our ascent. The first day we will walk just a short distance (1 hour) until the Mönchsjochhütte where we will spend the night. The next day, we will start early in the morning, descend to the Jungfraujoch, cross the glacier and start to climb the normal way to Jungfrau. If we are lucky, when we set off for the summit we will enjoy a beautiful sunrise! 

Although this is not a terribly difficult ascent, it is important that you have prior experience in walking with crampons and ice axe and a good fitness level. During the last stretch, we will need to tackle a steep slope with snow and ice until we reach the summit ridge. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to assist and guide you. And, the stunning views will be the reward of some hard-earned work!

Are you ready to discover the beauty of the lovely Jungfrau? Then book your place now and join me on this 2-day ascent of the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps!

If you haven’t practiced winter climbing for a long time or if you have some trouble with the altitude (maybe you haven’t been before above 400 m), I suggest you first to join me on a 1-day Monch ascent.

This is also a great ascent for those training for more challenging summits such as the Matterhorn. If you're up to it, make sure to sign up for the  3-day ascent of the Matterhorn via the Hörnli Ridge or the slightly harder Matterhorn via Lion's Ridge!
