The Jungfraujoch is a col or saddle between the Monch and the Jungfrau in the Bernese Alps. It is the lowest point on the mountain ridge between Monch and Jungfrau, at 3,471 meters (11,388 ft), and often called the Top of Europe. Not far east of the Joch rises a peak called the Sphinx, which tops out at an elevation of 3,571 meters (11,716 ft); here on the right. There is an elevator to the summit of the Sphinx, where a small viewing platform and a scientific observatory, the Sphinx Observatory, are located.
