The Jungfraubahn terminates at the highest station in Europe. Dual gauge (combined metre- and standard-gauge trackway) also exists in some areas. Also, nearly all street tramways in Switzerland are metre gauge. Some railway lines are of a narrower gauge, for example the 800 mm (2 ft 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) Wengernalp railway in the Bernese Oberland.
