Switzerlands Jungfrau Region: Best of the Alps

If Heidi is alive, she s in this skyhigh corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike and bike. We blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10, 000 feet. For a finale, we ride Europe s highest railway up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and ohwow views. 2002 Rick Steves Europe
