    I had plans to propose to my (now) fiance in a small town in France during our trip through Europe but during our day at Jungfraujoch I realised that nowhere was going to top it (pun intended) and I instead did a spur of the moment proposal outside in the snow. It was the most surreal time of my life. Amazing place and we can’t wait to go back.

    My parents both almost lost consciousness from the sudden steep climb to that altitude. I was fine, thankfully, when I went up there, since I'm fitter. If you are planning to take the train up there, consider your health before you make that decision, and drink a lot of cola or another caffeinated sugary drink to support your blood circulation. If you have reduced lung capacity, like my dad, or a weak heart, and are not used to those altitudes, I'd honestly reconsider going there.

    • @wyqtor
      @wyqtor 3 года назад +27

      Even if you're perfectly healthy, altitude sickness can get to you if you spend too much time there and if you ascend fast. I almost vomited after I went there the first time and came back to Wengen with one of the worst headaches in my life. Especially if you have a heart condition, take it VERY easy. I went up there again in 5 days with minimum symptoms after long stays in Wengen and Mürren (1300 and 1600m respectively). What's worse this year is that there is a mask mandate up there as well (as if altitude sickness can't have its own complications), I actually recommend not obeying it if you feel off or out of breath.

If we had stuck to home so to speak we couldve developed up to our current level and had so many places left completely untouched and couldve built perfect places from scratch imagine the first 'new york' or 'sydney' being completely carbon positive or neutral enviro and eco friendly etc. Not bringing in outside animals or foods and therefore pests weeds etc. I hope weve learnt that lesson when we establish settlements on the moon and elsewhere in the stars.

    On the other side of the world, in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National park on the coast of Washington, I read a fiction book called the Eiger sanction. This was my first exposure to the famous peak and I have fond memories of reading it. The book was well researched and gave some interesting details about the mountain and the train. It was made into a 70's movie with Clint Eastwood with some spectacular cinematography around the hotel and mountain. The mountain has some interesting history via climbers not making it to the top. The north face is a tragic movie about such a climb. Both movies were interesting and enjoyable.

    Was there about 20 years ago, before the restaurants and souvenir shop. What I remember were ice sculptures (a sleek sports car, among others) on the lower, shaded level.. They didn't melt, even in August. While waiting for the elevator to the observation deck, this South Florida sissy thought he would freeze, but two pairs of socks and running shoes made it perfectly comfortable. What the narrator didn't mention is that on two different occasions the train stops, everyone walks down a passageway to a humungous picture window with a fantastic view. Couldn't tear myself away at the second one and had to run to catch up with the others. Thought I'd die! Living at sea level can do that to you.

    I live in Switzerland, close to the alps in the East, Glarus/schwyz, and going on hiking trips onto mountains was always a normal thing since childhood. What i always wondered was why so many areas are still not publicly made accessable, we have some interesting cut off mountain villages like Braunwald, that is only accessable by foot or by a single cogwheel train, but it's an entire village with school and fire departement and a bank and 3 little stores, no combustion engines vehicles allowed ( well there's no road ro get up there anyway), but all the taxis are either horse drawn carriages or electric vehicles.
    But there are so many suitable plateaus in the mountains where you could build villages, and already 150 years ago they knew the technology to get up there, why is it not easier to build these routes today ? Humanity is actually planning on colonizing Mars, a hostile planet millions of kilometres away !? when there are so many wild spots left on earth ! Why not build some mars like colony in the Sahara Desert ? See if people like that, and if not, no big deal ! can at least breath the air outside and fly home in a few hours....
