The best time to visit the Jungfraujoch depends on your personal preferences and the experience that you want to have.  Each season has its own unique appeal:

• Summer (June to August): Ideal months for hikers and nature lovers. The days are longer and warmer and the alpine flora is in full bloom. However, it is also peak season, which means more visitors and higher prices.
• Winter (December to February): Winter is the perfect time for snow enthusiasts and winter sport fans to visit. The Jungfraujoch is transformed into a winter wonderland with snow activities on offer but the days are shorter and colder.
• Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November): The weather can be unpredictable, with possible snowfall in spring or early wintry spells in autumn.

Be sure to check the weather in advance and dress accordingly, whatever the season.
