The
Jungfrau ("maiden, virgin"
[note 3][1][2]) at 4,158 metres (13,642 ft) is one of the main summits of the
Bernese Alps, located between the northern canton of
Bern and the southern canton of
Valais, halfway between
Interlaken and
Fiesch. Together with the
Eiger and
Mönch, the Jungfrau forms a massive wall overlooking the
Bernese Oberland and the
Swiss Plateau, one of the most distinctive sights of the
Swiss Alps.
The summit was first reached on August 3, 1811 by the Meyer brothers of
Aarau and two
chamois hunters from Valais. The ascent followed a long expedition over the glaciers and high passes of the Bernese Alps. It was not until 1865 that a more direct route on the northern side was opened.
