High Altitude Research Station, Jungfraujoch

Full-day excursion to the High Altitude Research Station, Jungfraujoch

Jungfraujoch - the Top of Europe - is the highest train station in Europe, at 3454 m above sea level, and a tourist attraction. Splendid vistas of the Swiss Plateau and the Alps are possible with fine weather. The view towards south along the Aletsch glacier is breath-taking. Get in touch with snow and ice! Visit the Ice Palace with its icy sculptures. Or just enjoy the views.

Jungfraujoch is also home to the International High-Alpine Research Station, where the participants will take a guided tour (ca. 90 min) through the different laboratories. Information about current research projects on air quality, cloud physics, solar physics and others will be provided by competent scientists.

The excursion will start and end in Zürich Main Station (provisional times are 7 - 21 h). Organizational details will be available later on this homepage and at the information/registration desk during the conference.
