will be visiting switzerland / jungfrau in October 2016. What dress precaution required for us there.
Best Answer
Depends on high up you want to go. You can take the train up the Jungfraujoch. That's almost 3500 m of altitude and hence it's cold, even in Summer. Means: below freezing even in August. Check out http://www.jungfrau.ch/en/tourism/destinations/jungfraujoch-top-of-europe/weather/
Prepare for ice, snow, and significant sub-zero temperatures. The lower you stay the warmer it will be.

However when going up the Jungfrau you will definitely need warmer clothes. We (myself, my husband and 3 strapping 6'+ sons) started in trousers & t-shirts/long sleeve tops and added fleece jumpers as we went up, by the time we were at the top we had added hats and in some cases gloves, body warmers/gilets or jackets.What should I wear to Jungfraujoch in December?
I would plan on several layers of clothing under a light windproof jacket. The more the better...and something like wool or fleece for one of them. As for shoes - you control where you put your feet.The Train From Wilderswil To Jungfraujoch
