Breathtaking 360° panorama view from the Jungfrau region including "big three" Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, taken at "Kleine Scheidegg".The Kleine Scheidegg ("minor watershed") is a high mountain pass (2061 m / 6762 ft) located below the famous Eiger North Face in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. It reveals a spectacular view on the Jungfrau region, including the "big three" Eiger (3970 m / 13026 ft), Mönch (4107 m / 13475 ft) and Jungfrau (4158 m / 13642 ft). The Kleine Scheidegg hosts a railway station of the Jungfrau Railway, a pioneer of all mountain railways. The Jungfrau Railway runs within the Eiger and Mönch up to the Jungfraujoch (3454 m / 11333 ft), Europe's highest altitude railway station. The Jungfrau Region has a UNESCO World Heritage site - the first in the Alps, with numerous mountain lakes, rivers, streams, cascading waterfalls, glaciers (including the Aletsch Glacier, at 22 kilometres / 14 miles, the longest in the Alps) and peaks (including Jungfrau, Top of Europe). The climate ranges from Mediterranean to Arctic.

Oct 12, 2008 - I guess you mean the passage between around 0.22 and 0.30, and again at the end at around 02.00. Yes, that's the 1'800 m (5'900 ft) Eiger Nordwand (German for "North wall"), the spectacular north face of the Eiger. The Jungfrau railway runs in a tunnel inside the Eiger north face up to the Jungfraujoch (3454 m / 11333 ft), the highest railway station in Europe. It was built between 1896 to 1912.
