    You should check the weather forecast for Jungfraujoch the evening before and make preparations if the forecast looks good. In the morning, check the webcams to see if the view is clear. If it is, depart and purchase online tickets to avoid standing in line at the station. You can check the webcams at (https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/webcams/) and the weather forecast at (https://search.ch/meteo/jungfraujoch).

    Sometimes, there can be low clouds and sunny at the top so this is an experience as well. You may also want to depart early.

    By the way, today’s Jungfraujoch webcam looks great, and I would have gone there.

    Hi Shahed,

    Great advice from alad.  Mountain weather can change quite quickly so don’t be too disheartened. Checking the night before and also on the morning you are planning to go, it could be you that the forecast is different, and for the better than what it was earlier on in the day.

    Good luck and enjoy.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda

    We went today even though it showed cloudy.  In reality, it was a gorgeous day and we got some great pictures.
