Where is the best view of the Jungfrau?

Mürren. Mürren is a small town that is perched on a cliff, overlooking the Lauterbrunnen Valley. From town, you have panoramic views of Mönch, Eiger, and Jungfrau, the mountains that dominate the Bernese Alps. From Mürren, you get one of the best views of this mountain range.



The definitive "best" view of the Jungfrau mountain is from the Sphinx Observation Terrace at the Jungfraujoch, popularly known as the "Top of Europe." Located at 3,454 meters (11,332 feet), this viewing platform sits on a narrow ridge between the Mönch and Jungfrau peaks, offering a staggering, up-close look at the mountain's eternal ice and the vast Aletsch Glacier. Another spectacular vantage point is from Kleine Scheidegg, the mountain pass where the cogwheel trains meet; from here, you can see the famous "Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau" trio in a perfect panoramic line. For a more distant but equally breathtaking view, the village of Wengen offers a classic Alpine perspective, looking directly up the Lauterbrunnen Valley toward the Jungfrau’s snow-capped summit. For those who want a view of the mountain rather than being on it, the Männlichen ridge provides a stunning "profile" view of the three peaks against the backdrop of the Bernese Oberland. In 2026, the new Eiger Express cable car has made these viewpoints even more accessible, allowing travelers to reach the high-alpine world in record time while enjoying panoramic windows that reveal the dramatic verticality of the North Face.
