1. Going to Jungfrau Joch

In the morning, dense fog surrounded around Wengen and we had slight rain. We taken mountain railway at 7:30 and went up for Jungfrau Joch. Jungfrau Joch is famous observatory and locate almost center of Switzerland Alps. (Altitude: 3,475m)
It had started to rain heavily and we were worrying about the weather at the place.

One and half hour late from Wengenr, we have arrived at Jungfrau Joch station. The weather outside was getting worse, snowing. This was my first experience having snow falling in Summer. The temperature was less than 5 degrees.

We first looked around Ice Palace. This is the Ice tunnel in the glacier.

2. View from the Observatory

Most of the tour from Japan don't take much time to look around this place. However, our tour could take much time here. Around 9:00am, the weather turned fine and we could see the deep blue sky, mountains and nice landscape finally.
