Summit of the Mönch at Whitsun

The triumvirate of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is unique. The 4000 metre peaks of the Bernese Oberland suddenly rise so abruptly. We take a look at the whole thing together and climb the Mönch, the Trugberg and the Jungfrau at Whitsun. The tours are easily accessible with the Jungfraujochbahn and you are immediately immersed in the high alpine world. The tours are not too difficult, so you can get your first taste of high altitude without any problems. However, they are challenging tours with climbing passages and exposed firn ridges. At Whitsun there is still enough snow at this altitude to do some cool high-altitude ski tours!
