The general case, not just today
Is Jungfraujoch worth it in cloudy or bad weather?
Consider it for the indoor attractions as well as the view, but losing the panorama still weakens the value of an expensive trip.
The Ice Palace and Alpine Sensation give Jungfraujoch indoor interest that does not depend on seeing across the Alps. They do not recreate the outdoor panorama, and their existence is not a guarantee that every attraction or transport connection is operating on your date.
Separate cloud over Interlaken from cloud at the summit. Jungfraujoch can stand above a shallow layer, but elevation alone cannot establish that it will be clear. Compare the summit forecast, confidence and the date it describes before committing your day.
