Sphinx-Observatorium, 3801 Fieschertal, Switzerland
When you enter this space,it is like you are in another world. A lot of information is conveyed through notes hung on the wall. Many were killed during the construction of this place. The sacrifice is greatly appreciated. Very impressed. Recommended.
After you arrived the Jungfraujoch's station, you will walk pass the Alphine Sensation before going up to the Observation Deck. This Alphine Sensation is actually a long corridor where there are several attractions in it. First, we came to the 360 degree panorama theater showing the bird's eyes view of Jungfraujoch, the Aletsch Glacier, Monch, Jungfrau and Eiger peaks...etc. However, due to the fact that we had already seen it on YouTube before therefore it didn't really amaze us that much. Next, we came to the glittering yellow stars & flowers room, the centre of attraction inside the room was the giant glass ball in the middle, with different lighting, snow mountains and a moving toy train inside (it felt like a giant X'mas crystal ball but it's beautiful). Although the decoration in the whole room felt a bit feminine or too young for us. To me, the best part was when we came to the moving walkways, where it took us to go through the history and achievements made by those amazing miners in building the Jungfraubhan. It was also a great opportunity to pay our respect to those miners who died in building this masterpiece for us as well. Overall, the Alpine Sensation is worth to visit, although it's not everyone's cup of tea but you could tell the organizer had put in a great effort building it. We liked it afterall.
After the hike to Mönchsjochhutte, we visited the colorful Alpine Sensation exhibition. It beautifully told the story of the conquest of Jungfrau and the incredibly laborious construction of the railway through the rock to Jungfraujoch. The exhibition is organized as a walking trail from the Sphinx Hall to the Ice Palace, so you can't miss it.
Amazing experience. Would highly recommend a visit here, obviously better on clearer days but still so memorable. So much detail and great for people of all ages. Ive never seen anything like it, amazing.
