The Jungfrau, named after the Virgo (virgin/maiden) zodiac sign, is one of the main summits of the Alps. Although attempts were made before, a more direct route to the top was built in the late 1800s. Are you an experienced climber? Don’t leave the Jungfrau off your list of mountains to tame. Get to the Jungfraujoch, because from there the climb to the summit only takes a few hours. It’s not considered an overly dangerous climb, some areas that can be dangerous above the Rottalsattel have been marked for tourists. Get acclimatized to the difference in altitude first so you don’t feel lightheaded. The last part of the climb is one of the longest and sharpest found anywhere in the Alps. It’s a 3,000-foot plunge on the west side of the Jungfrau. From the Sattel to the summit it’s only 725 feet, but if you’re attempting the climb the wrong time of year, or without a guide, it can be the most treacherous. You will feel like you’re on top of the world with the world at your feet when you stand atop the Jungfrau.
