Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory (Sphinx-Observatorium)

Perched on a rocky precipice at 11,716 feet (3,571 meters) above sea level, the Sphinx Observatory stands as a working laboratory with a large telescope. Located on Jungfraujoch peak, often referred to as the ‘Top of Europe,’ the observatory offers visitors panoramic views of the Bernese Alps and beyond from its observation deck, one of the highest in Switzerland. Today, visitors can explore the facility, learn about astronomical research, and take in the breathtaking vistas that stretch across the alpine landscape.
