Advantages Beautiful, stunning, breathtaking views
Disadvantages Journey up the mountain is boring and tedious.
The single most stunning view I have ever seen was upon the top of Jungfraujoch. Don't let the height or cold scare you away, this is a perfect destination for any tourist or person in Switzerland seeking entertainment.
The travel up the mountain is generally done via underground train, which makes for an interesting ride! There are several stops along the inside of the mountain, with giant windows to give an almost panoramic view of what is to come.
Although you may have seen snow before, you may have even seen mountains before, but really.. Nothing will be able to prepare you for the breath-taking views from the top, either from the mountain top - where the snow is all around you, with only rope fences holding people back from the dangerous edges - or from the giant telescope and laboratory at the very top of the mountain, where you can see the Alps mountains all around.
Be sure to take some sunglasses, the snow is so white and pure it is blinding! Gloves, hats and coats are also a must for those windy heights. Oh, and don't forget that camera, although some of the camera's do not work at such extreme temperatures - be careful!
It's well worth a visit if you intend to visit Switzerland or the Alps, and don't let the few hour train journey put you off, it is definitely worth the wait!
