Traveling Switzerland with Swiss Travel Passes, in general, is the best thing you can go for. These passes help you  get the most out of your Swiss itinerary  and  save you a lot of money .

I spent a month traveling in Switzerland using my  Swiss Travel Pass Flex . Then, I lived in the Jungfrau region (Grindelwald) for a year and used the  Jungfrau Travel Pass  at the beginning of my stay. Living and working in the Jungfrau region, I’ve helped many travelers choose the right pass and save money.

So in this article, I’ll give you information about these two passes, list the advantages of each, and help you decide which one you should choose for your Swiss trip.

✈ Travel Resources For Your Trip ✈

Here are some of my favorite travel resources I use for my travel adventures.

Jungfrau Travel Pass Or Swiss Travel Pass: Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing the right travel pass depends on  two main factors .

• Depends on the  number of days you’ll spend in Switzerland  or  one region .
•  Depends on the  number of places you want to visit  in Switzerland.

If you want to spend  3 or more days only in the Jungfrau region  and don’t want to explore the rest of Switzerland, choose  the Jungfrau Travel Pass .

If you want to  travel to more places in Switzerland  and spend 3 or more days there.  Go for a  Swiss Travel Pass .

Now that you have a general understanding of these two passes, let’s break each down. I’ll give you detailed information about each pass, what it’s good for, how much it costs, and where to get it.

NOTE: Top of Europe Pass does no longer exist for summer 2024. You can only purchase the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

What Is Jungfrau Travel Pass

Jungfrau Travel Pass is an  all-in-one pass  enabling you to  travel within the Jungfrau region  at a  discounted rate.  If you were to do all activities and get on all cable cars and trains within the Jungfrau region, it would cost you triple the price without the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

It’s  available for 3 – 8 days  and is  valid for the entire Jungfrau region .

NOTE: Jungfrau Travel Pass  is only available for summertime,  7th April until 5th November 2024 .

How Much Does Jungfrau Travel Pass Cost

The price of your Jungfrau Travel Pass depends on the number of days you choose to stay in the Jungfrau region.

You can also get a discounted rate if you already have other Swiss passes (Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half-Fare Card):

Here is a breakdown of the prices for the Jungfrau Travel Pass :

*Reduced Rate: For holders of Swiss Half-Fare Card, Swiss Travel Pass & Swiss Travel Pass Flex.

What Is Included In Jungfrau Travel Pass

You can use the Jungfrau Travel Pass within the  entire Jungfrau region . All  train rides  are included,  buses ,  cable cars ,  activities , and even  boat cruises  on  Lake Brienz  and  Lake   Thun . Have a look at the map below. I’ve marked all the places and rides where the Jungfrau Travel Pass is valid in the  Jungfrau region .

What Is Partially Included In Jungfrau Travel Pass

The only two mountain excursions not fully included in your Jungfrau Travel Pass are  Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn . Still, you’ll get it for extensive discounts  and only pay an extra fee for some cable car/train sections.

Jungfraujoch with Jungfrau Travel Pass costs you 63 CHF extra instead of the full price of 220 CHF. This extra fee of 63 CHF covers the train journey from Eigergletscher to Schilthorn .

Schilthorn with Jungfrau Travel Pass costs you 64.20 CHF (Mürren – Birg – Schilthorn) .

My Experience With Swiss Passes

I purchased the Swiss Travel Pass Flex for my  8-day Switzerland itinerary  and couldn’t have done better. It helped me to save thousands of Swiss Francs for the entire trip. I could spend the whole month in Switzerland and use the pass on the days I got from one destination to another.

Experience With Swiss Travel Pass

When I  used the pass , I  traveled as much as possible to see many places.  I also changed transportation each day. For instance, I traveled by  train , switched to a  boat  when there was an option, and visited  cities and museums .

On other days, I took the opportunity to  stay in one destination  and  went hiking . On these days, I didn’t use my Swiss Pass and  saved the days.

Experience With Jungfrau Travel Pass

For my second visit to Switzerland, I only explored the Jungfrau region. It’s my favorite place in Switzerland, so I had to. I got the Jungfrau Travel Pass for 3 days and explored all the places with it.

Again, it saved me hundreds of Swiss Francs as I didn’t have to pay separately for every attraction and cable car. It was also very convenient and gave me a lot of flexibility . I didn’t have to care about tickets. I simply woke up and traveled wherever I wanted to.

Should You Buy Both Passes?

I think getting both passes, the Swiss Travel Pass and Jungfrau Travel Pass is a great idea, but only in the following situation:

Situation 1: Buy Both Passes

Let’s say you want to make this 8-day Switzerland itinerary . You want to get the most out of your trip and see as many places as possible. For this reason, getting the Swiss Travel Pass is the best deal for you.

Throughout this itinerary, you want to spend a lot of time in the Jungfrau region (3 or more days). You have many places in the Jungfrau region on your bucket list. In this case, getting the Jungfrau Travel Pass and your Swiss Travel Pass is worth it . It’ll save you a lot.

Situation 2: Buy Only One Pass

If you do the  8-day Swiss itinerary , but let’s say you  only want to spend 2 days  in the  Jungfrau region  or you  only want to do 1 excursion  (e.g., Jungfraujoch or Schilthorn), then  don’t buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass  and use your Swiss Travel Pass for discounts.

However, if you decide to  explore the Jungfrau region  and nothing else in Switzerland,  buy only the Jungfrau Travel Pass . In this case, the Swiss Travel Pass wouldn’t serve you well.

Follow My 8-Day Switzerland Itinerary

If you want to see the highlights of Switzerland , experience beautiful cities, make the best mountain excursions, and ride on the most stunning panoramic trains, check out my Switzerland itinerary for 8 days . It’ll help you get the most out of Switzerland.

Save time planning , pack, and you’re ready to go:

To help you get the most out of your time in Switzerland and to choose the right pass, I’ve also answered some of the most frequently asked questions.

Is It Worth To Buy Jungfrau Pass?

Yes, Jungfrau Travel Pass is worth buying if you want to stay in the Jungfrau region 3 or more days. It’s also worth getting if you want to do at least 2 excursions within the Jungfrau region.

What Is The Difference Between Top Of Europe Pass & Jungfrau Travel Pass?

As of 2023 , the Top of Europe Pass doesn’t exist anymore . So there is no chance to buy it.

But the difference was that the Top of Europe Pass covered fewer places in the Jungfrau region, yet Jungfraujoch was fully included. On the other hand, Jungfrau Travel Pass covers more places in the Jungfrau region (also boats on Lake Brienz & Lake Thin) but doesn’t fully cover Jungfraujoch.

Does Jungfrau Pass Cover Jungfraujoch?

No, Jungfrau Travel Pass doesn’t fully cover Jungfraujoch. However, you only have to pay an extra fee of 63 CHF for the train ride between Eigergletscher and Jungfraujoch. All the other trains and cable cars towards Jungfraujoch are included.

Wrap-Up: Jungfrau Travel Pass vs. Swiss Travel Pass

I hope it’s clear to you which pass is the best for what in Switzerland. Let me know if you have any questions; write me an email at  info(at)voicesoftravel.com  or reach out on Instagram. I can  help you plan your Swiss trip  and  design an itinerary for you .

So choose the pass that will benefit you the most and enjoy Switzerland to the fullest.

My biggest tip  is to get some kind of pass. Paying for single tickets and excursions in Switzerland is way too expensive, and you would be a lot for no reason.  So get a pass , as it’ll save you a lot.

Happy Travels!

Jungfrau Travel Pass (2024): Is it Worth It and Best Excursions

• Bernese Oberland
• Jungfrau Region
• Last Updated: 1 Jun 2024
• By Tanya, Founder of Swiss Family Fun

If you buy something through a link here, we may earn a commission. See our disclosure policy . Note that p rices and opening times may change without notice.

The Jungfrau Region is a popular mountain destination near Interlaken, well known for beautiful places like Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren and Wengen.

One of the easiest ways to explore this region is with Jungfrau Travel Pass, a multiday ticket covering many trains, buses, boats, and mountain railways in the region.

We often recommend this pass because it’s very convenient, saving the hassle of buying individual tickets for each journey. The pass can also save you money, especially if you visit for at least five days or have children who get a very inexpensive pass.

But this pass is pricy and doesn’t cover everything. So it’s important to do a little math and consider other passes that might be better fit.

This guide explains what’s covered in the pass, how to get the maximum value, and suggests the best excursions to do with the pass. By the end, you should have all the information you need to decide if you should get the Jungfrau Travel Pass for your Switzerland trip.

Note: The Jungfrau Travel Pass price, map of validity, and terms and conditions may change at any time without notice. Review the exact terms before purchasing and using your pass. If you have questions about the pass, contact the Jungfrau Region tourism office .

What’s included in the Jungfrau Travel Pass

The Jungfrau Travel Pass is unlimited travel pass for 3 to 8 days for the Jungfrau Region.

The map below shows what transport is included in the Jungfrau Travel Pass: regular trains, cable cars, funiculars, mountain trains, and boats.

The grey lines on the map are not free with the pass. The two with % symbol get a discount with the pass.

The following trains, boats, gondolas, mountain trains and funiculars are free with the Jungfrau Travel Pass. You get unlimited rides as long as the pass is valid.

Regular trains (red lines)

• Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen
• Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald
• Interlaken Ost to Brienz
• Grindelwald Bus around town (but not buses that go to the alpine villages)

Boats (blue lines)

• Lake Thun boat to destinations like Speiz and Thun
• Lake Brienz boat to destinations like Giessbach, Iseltwald, Brienz

Mountain railways (black lines)

• Grindelwald First gondola
• Männlichen : includes both the Grindelwald Terminal-Männlichen gondola and the Wengen-Männlichen cable car
• Kleine Scheidegg : includes the mountain trains from either Lauterbrunnen/Wengen or Grindelwald Grund
• Eiger Express gondola
• Schynige Platte mountain train
• Harder Kulm funicular train
• Mürren: includes the cable car from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp and mountain train from Grütschalp to Mürren

The Jungfraujoch is not completely covered by the pass. You ride free as far as the Eigergletscher station. Then you pay a supplement for remaining journey to Jungfraujoch, CHF 75/adult in summer 2024.

The Pfingstegg cable car has the only summer toboggan in this region, as well as a fun “Fly Line” in the forest and nice views of Grindelwald. With the Jungfrau Travel Pass, you only get a tiny discount on the cable car ride. This cable car is free with the Berner Oberland Pass.

Despite the marketing messages, the Jungfrau Travel Pass does not cover everything in the Jungfrau Region. The following are not included:

• Mürren via the Stechelberg-Gimmelwald cable cars. With the Jungfrau Travel Pass, instead travel to Mürren via the Grütschalp cable car and Mürren BLM mountain train. 
• Schilthorn cable car
• Allmendhübel funicular to flower park playground
• Bus service in Lauterbrunnen valley (to Trümmelbach falls and Stechelberg).
• Grindelwald bus to mountain areas Bussalp, Waldspitz, or Grosse Scheidegg
• Grindelwald Glacier Gorge : no discount with the pass
• Train from Interlaken to Thun

In all these cases, you will need to purchase individual tickets instead.

Cost of the Jungfrau Travel Pass

You can purchase the Jungfrau Travel Pass for 3 to 8 days, which must be used consecutively. The pass is a better value the more days you buy it for, as indicated by the approximate per day cost.

Here are the prices for 2024:

• 3 days – CHF 210 ( ~ 70/day)
• 4 days – CHF 235 ( ~ 59/day)
• 5 days – CHF 270 ( ~ 55/day) 
• 6 days – CHF 290 ( ~ 48/day)
• 7 days – CHF 310 ( ~ 44/day)
• 8 days – CHF 330 ( ~ 41/day)

Note: there are no discount for students or seniors.

Children aged 6-15 can get a pass for just CHF 30, regardless of the number of days. The child must travel with a parent with a valid pass. 

This child’s pass is a fantastic value, especially if you have more than one child. In just three days, you could easily save CHF 80+ per child with just one mountain outing per day. This savings could be the determining factor when deciding whether the Jungfrau Travel Pass is worth it for the family.

Children under age 6 ride for free and do not need a pass.

If you have the Swiss Half Fare Card, GA, or Swiss Travel Pass, you get a discount on the Jungfrau Travel Pass. 

• 3 days – CHF 165 ( ~ 55/day)
• 4 days – CHF 180 ( ~ 45/day)
• 5 days – CHF 210 ( ~ 42/day) 
• 6 days – CHF 225 ( ~ 37.50/day)
• 7 days – CHF 240 ( ~ 34/day)
• 8 days – CHF 255 ( ~ 31/day)

If you have one of the above discount cards, you can buy the reduced fare Jungfrau Travel Pass here

However, since those travelcards already give you a 50% discount on all mountain railways, you might not save much or anything by adding the Jungfrau Travel Pass. In most cases, this 50% discount is cheaper than the per day cost of the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

For example (2024 prices), if you added the 5 day Jungfrau Travel Pass to the STP, you have an added cost of about 42 day. With just the STP, you would pay only CHF 34 to ride up Grindelwald First.

So with the Jungfrau Travel Pass, you are overpaying. But if you visited Grindelwald First in the morning and Männlichen in the afternoon, you would save money. Plus the pass is super convenient.

But if you plan to visit two or more mountains every day, then you might save some money.

How to buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass

You can usually buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass starting in late March, when prices are updated for the upcoming season.

We suggest purchasing your pass through Get Your Guide , because they offer free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. If you buy through the Jungfrau Region website, they do not offer refunds.

When you purchase the pass online, you select the start date and the number of days. You get a ticket that you can print and the ticket is added to the Get Your Guide app on your phone.

Review the ticket carefully in case there are any special instructions, as the procedure may differ depending on where you purchase the pass.

The Jungfrau Travel Pass does not need to be purchased far in advance. It does not sell out and can be purchased last minute. You can also purchase the Jungfrau Travel Pass in person at the regional train stations and tourism office.

Note: if you have the Swiss Half Fare Card, Swiss Travel Pass, or GA, you can buy a reduced fare Jungfrau Travel Pass here .

In most cases, you will receive a digital ticket that you can keep on your phone. If you have several people in your group that may not always be together, you may find it more convenient to print the tickets so each person can carry their own.

On trains, buses and boats, you usually do not need to show your ticket when boarding. Instead there are random ticket checks. If a ticket controller asks for your ticket, show the QR code either in the app or printed ticket.

On gondolas, funiculars, and some mountain trains, you may enter through an automated turnstile, where you can scan your QR code directly without visiting the ticket desk.

Important: Before your trip, verify the valid dates of the pass and make sure you do not use the pass to travel outside the network (see current map of validity ). You can get a fine of CHF 100/person if you do not have a valid travel pass or ticket for your travel date or route.

If you have the ticket on your phone, make sure you have enough battery for your journey. If you cannot show the ticket when required, even if you have purchased a valid ticket, you may still get the fine.

You cannot reserve seats on any transport in the Jungfrau Region, except the Jungfraubahn train, which travels up to the glacier.

This train is very popular with tourists and can get very crowded during summer high season, particularly on good weather days. So you can optionally purchase a seat reservation for a specific time of day on Jungfrau.ch for CHF 10.

The seat reservation gives you a guaranteed seat on the selected train connection, but it does not assign a specific numbered seat. So the seat reservation does not ensure your group all sits altogether.

When you board the Jungfraubahn train, those with a seat reservation enter through the priority boarding line, getting on the train before those without a reservation. 

You can book seat reservations on Jungfrau.ch for CHF 10 per person. 

• Learn more about how to visit Jungfraujoch  

The summer Jungfrau Travel Pass can be used from April through October. In 2024, the exact dates are 29 March to 27 October 2024.

When you purchase the pass, you must select a validity date range within this period.

Please note that summer hiking season is from mid June to September, fall hiking through mid October barring early snow storms. So if you visit during April and May, do not expect to be hiking in the mountains as there is usually still snow on the trails.

During spring, you can instead visit the mountain viewpoints like Grindelwald First, Schilthorn and Jungfraujoch. But check opening times carefully, as some cable cars have a short maintenance breaks in late April and early May.

Also, many restaurants and even hotels close for a few weeks after the ski resorts close in mid April and don’t open again until late May. Learn more in my Spring Guide to Switzerland .

Best Excursions with the Jungfrau Travel Pass

Here are some of our favorite destinations you can access with the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

This mountain high above the Grindelwald village has a wide variety of activities for all kinds of travelers.

The gondola from the Grindwald village up to the First mountain peak and cliff walk is included with the Jungfrau Travel Pass. If you paid full fare, a round trip ticket for this gondola costs CHF 72/adult in summer 2024.

At the top, you’ll find the First Cliff Walk, a metal walkway built into the side of the cliff wall. Beautiful hikes start here, including the easy walk to the Bachalpsee lake and harder climb to the Faulhorn mountain hut. 

Thrill seekers will love the epic zip lines, mountain go-carts and kick scooters. Families with young children will love the big alpine playground with a view at the middle station. 

• Learn more about Grindelwald First

Perhaps our favorite views in this region are from the ridge trail at Schynige Platte. You start by riding a vintage cogwheel train slowly up the mountain, with increasing spectacular views the higher you go.

The mountain train is fully covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass, as well as the regular train to get there from Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken. If you paid full fare, it costs CHF 64/adult in high season (2024).

Without hiking, you can enjoy the views from the alpine flower garden or restaurant with a big panorama terrace. Or stretch your legs on the 2 hour loop along the ridge, with views of the super blue Lake Brienz and countless mountain peaks in every direction.

• Learn more about Schynige Platte

One of the nicest things you can do with the Jungfrau Travel Pass is visit the quaint alpine villages. With the Jungfrau Travel Pass, you can start in Lauterbrunnen and ride a cable car up to Grütschalp.

Then transfer to the Mürren BLM mountain train, that traverses through alpine meadows and drops you at the edge of Mürren.

You can spend a lovely hour strolling through the village, admiring the traditional chalets and flower boxes. 

With kids, you can ride a funicular train (extra fee) up to the Allmendhubel Flower Park playground , one of our very favorite playgrounds in Switzerland with an unbelievable view. If you feel like hiking, we suggest the Mürren Mountain View trail or North Face Trail , both of which start in Mürren.

For even better views, you can ride a cable car up to the Schilthorn viewpoint and visit the Birg cliff walk. But that cable car isn’t included or discounted by the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Männlichen is a mountain viewpoint right in the middle of the Jungfrau Region, with panorama views across the entire region.

Männlichen is easy to reach with a gondola from the Grindelwald Terminal station, or a cable car from Wengen, both covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Near the gondola station, there is a viewpoint over the cliffs to the Lauterbrunnen valley, a restaurant, and fun playground with a giant cow slide. 

If you don’t want to hike, we suggest at least the short Royal Walk to a beautiful panorama viewpoint. For easy hikes, you can do the Panorama trail to Kleine Scheidegg or the fun Liselotte activity trail for kids .

The most popular outing in this region is the Jungfraujoch, a visitor center at 3463m overlooking the longest glacier in the alps.

To reach this viewpoint, you start by riding either the Eiger Express cable car or mountain train from Lauterbrunnen, both covered by the Jungfrau Trail Pass.

Then you transfer to the Jungfraujochbahn mountain train, which travels the last few km through a long tunnel carved through the mountain peak. With the Jungfrau Travel Pass, this section requires an extra supplement of CHF 75/adult in high season, which is still less expensive than the full fare of CHF 214/adult.

At the top, you can enjoy views of the immense Aletsch glacier, the longest in the alps, over 20 km long.

You can also enjoy a variety of amusements, like exploring the “Ice Palace” cut into the glacier, walking on glacier snow, sledding at the snow fun park, and even hiking to a mountain hut.

If you want a break from the mountain trails, cruising the lakes is a great option. The Jungfrau Travel Pass includes the boats on both Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. Without the pass, a round trip on the lake costs about CHF 66/adult.

We particularly like Lake Brienz, where we can visit the beautiful village Iseltwald and Giessbach Falls . After visiting the falls, continue the boat to Brienz and enjoy a nice lakeside stroll. Then train back to Interlaken, which is also covered by the pass.

The boat leaves from a dock right across the street from the Interlaken Ost train station . You can check the boat schedule on the SBB Mobile App or BLS website . 

Right from Interlaken, you can ride up to the Harder Kulm viewpoint on a funicular train covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass. Without the pass, it costs CHF 44/adult for a round trip ticket (2024).

At the top, you’ll find a big terrace overlooking the lakes and mountains. The restaurant here is popular for dinner with the sunset, watching the alpine glow wash over the peaks.

Is the Jungfrau Travel Pass worth it?

Everyone asks me if they should get the Jungfrau Travel Pass. My standard answer is that you have to do the math, based on the specific activities you plan to do.

But here are some general guidelines to help you decide.

For many travelers, the convenience of the pass is worth more than the potential cost savings. A few things to consider:

• With the pass, you don’t have to hassle with purchasing individual tickets or worry that you bought the wrong ticket, as long as you stay within the covered network
• You will feel free to visit more mountains and do more activities because they are already included in the pass. 
• At most mountain transport, you can skip the ticket line and scan your pass directly at the turnstile

If you don’t want to do the math, here are some scenarios where the Jungfrau Travel Pass usually saves you money:

• you are staying in the region five days or more, since the cost per day gets cheaper the more days you buy the pass for
• you have two or more children aged 6-15, who get the inexpensive child’s pass.  
• you plan to ride up two or more mountain trains every day
• you want to visit the Jungfraujoch and you don’t have other discount travelcards (this ride costs an extra CHF 75 on top of the pass, but usually still cheaper than full price)

Otherwise, paying full price is about the same or you might even pay more with the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

If you want to crunch the numbers, here are prices for some of the popular activities (full fare, summer season 2024):

• Grindelwald First CHF 72
• Grindelwald Männlichen CHF 70
• Lauterbrunnen – Mürren CHF 22.40
• Schynige Platte CHF 64
• Harder Kulm CHF 44
• Jungfraujoch CHF 214 (from Grindelwald)
• Lake Brienz boat CHF 66

If you are driving to the Jungfrau Region, it’s still worth it get to Jungfrau Travel Pass for the reasons above.

The car would only be used for the journeys between the towns in the valleys like Grindelwald, Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. Most everything else requires mountain transport, which is covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Note that parking is expensive in the Jungfrau Region and it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in high season. You may want to leave your car at your hotel and travel around the region by public transport.

Comparing Travel Passes

If you are visiting several destinations across Switzerland, only spending a couple days in each, the Swiss Travel Pass usually is the better pass. That pass covers your expensive train trips between destinations and gives you 50% discount on mountain excursions in each area.

Get the Swiss Travel Pass here .

If you are only visiting the Jungfrau Region, then the Jungfrau Travel Pass is usually the better choice. If you are dividing your time between Lucerne and Jungfrau Region, you could get the Lucerne Tell Pass and the Jungfrau Travel Pass to cover the two parts of the trip.

The Berner Oberland Pass (BOP) is a similar multiday travel pass, which covers the Jungfrau Region as well as other nearby mountain resorts. 

If you are visiting the Jungfrau Region for more than 5 days, you will likely want to day trips outside the Jungfrau Region to places like Oeschinensee , Brienzer Rothorn , and Hasliberg . In this case, the Berner Oberland Pass is a better choice because it covers a wider public transport network and more mountains.

It also covers all the same mountains as the Jungfrau Travel Pass, plus Pfingstegg and Stechelberg-Gimmelwald-Mürren cable cars, as well as a discount on the Schilthorn cable car .

Because it has more coverage and benefits, the Berner Oberland Pass is more expensive. For example, the 8 day pass costs CHF 395/adult vs CHF 330 for the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

If you are visiting Switzerland, you can get a one month Swiss Half Fare Card , which works for your whole trip, including the Jungfrau Region. The Swiss Half Fare Card is a good idea if:

• you are renting a car to travel all over Switzerland. In this case, you wouldn’t be using regular trains and buses, so you wouldn’t get the full value of the passes.
• you aren’t sure how many mountains you want to visit. The Swiss Half Fare Card can pay for itself after only 2-3 expensive mountain railways. But if you get the Jungfrau Travel Pass, you might feel pressure to get the full value of the pass by doing too many activities each day.

If you live in Switzerland, you should definitely get the yearly Swiss Half Fare Card , no question. With the card, you get a discount on the Jungfrau Travel Pass, but you’ll have to do the math to figure out if it’s worth it. I would only consider adding on the Jungfrau Travel Pass if you are spending a whole week in the Jungfrau Region.

Do I have to buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass to visit the Jungfraujoch?

No. You can purchase individual tickets for the Jungfraujoch, online or at the ticket office at the nearby railway station. The Jungfrau Travel Pass just gives you discount on the Jungfraujoch train.

Can I upgrade the Jungfrau Travel Pass to 1st class?

There is no 1st class version the Jungfrau Travel Pass. Most of the transport covered by the pass doesn’t have 1st class sections anyway.

The main exception is the boats on Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. In these cases, you can usually pay an upgrade fee to sit in the first class section. Inquire at the boat dock ticket office.

Does the Jungfrau Travel Pass cover my train ticket from the airport?

No. The Jungfrau Travel Pass only covers the trains from Interlaken to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen or Brienz. You will need a separate ticket for the train from the Zurich or Geneva airport to Interlaken.

Do I have to buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass far in advance?

No. The Jungfrau Travel Pass does not sell out. You can purchase it online shortly before your trip. You can even purchase it at the Interlaken train station or local tourism offices on the first day of your visit.

However, many people find it easier to purchase it in advance so you don’t have to worry about it later. We suggest buying through Get Your Guide , which has a free cancellation policy up to 24 hours in advance. 

Does my dog need a ticket in the Jungfrau Region?

Dogs travel for free in the Jungfrau Region on most trains, buses, and mountain transport. However, your dog does need a ticket for the Jungfraujoch train, which costs CHF 30 and must be purchased at the local ticket office.

Outside the Jungfrau Region, dogs over 30cm usually need a ticket to travel on public and mountain transport. Learn more .

Can I use the Jungfrau Travel Pass in winter?

There is a winter version of the Jungfrau Travel Pass, which can be used for visiting mountain viewpoints, winter hiking and sledding. It cannot be used as a ski pass.

The winter pass costs a bit less that summer since some mountains and attractions are closed during winter (like Schynige Platte). This winter pass is available from mid December to end of March. Learn more .

Below is a brief description of some of the excursions included in the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Jungfraujoch

Jungfrau Bahn (train)

Operates: 365 days per year

One of the most famous train rides in Switzerland, the Jungfrau bahn (train) takes visitors to the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres above sea level.

A two-hour journey from Interlaken via a seamless connection of regional trains and the Jungfrau bahn, the trip offers incredible panoramic views.

Passing alongside lush alpine meadows and waterfalls, and through a 7-kilometre long tunnel carved through the mountain, the journey to the summit at Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe, is one you’ll never forget.

The Jungfrau railway was built from 1896 to 1912 and is an engineering masterpiece.

Note: A supplement (or ‘connecting ticket’) is payable for the final leg of the journey from Eiger Glacier to Jungfraujoch. Prices are shown in the table above.

Eiger Express cableway between Grindelwald Terminal and Eiger Glacier

Operates: Year round except for five days in early November

Since December 2020, it is possible to travel to Jungfraujoch using a combination of train and cable car. The Eiger Express cableway travels between Grindelwald and Eiger Glacier in just 15 minutes, 47 minutes faster than the train journey between the two destinations.

At the Eiger Glacier cableway station, passengers can connect seamlessly to the Jungfrau train for the final leg of the journey to Jungfraujoch.

Travel on the Eiger Express is included with the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Why not travel the entire journey by train in one direction and a combination of train and cableway in the other direction?

You’ll find much more information about the Jungfraujoch excursion including how to get to Jungfraujoch and what to do at Jungfraujoch below.

Note: If you wish to continue on to Jungfraujoch after alighting at Eiger Glacier, a supplement is payable for the train journey from Eiger Glacier to Jungfraujoch. This applies whether you travel the entire journey by train or use a combination of cable car and train. Jungfrau Travel Pass holders can purchase the supplement for CHF 75 return for travel in high season (1 June to 31 August) or CHF 63 return for the remainder of the year.

Grindelwald and First cable car

Operates : 16 December 2023 to 3 November, 2024

The Jungfrau Travel Pass includes rail travel from Interlaken to Grindelwald on the Bernese Oberland Railway and the cable car to First mountain.

Tickets for activities at First such as  Trottibikes, First Flyer, First Glider, etc. are additional.

Another mountain excursion included from Grindelwald is the cableway from Grindelwald Terminal to Männlichen.

🇨🇭 Read more about visiting Grindelwald First

Harder Kulm funicular

Operates: 29 March to 24 November, 2024

The Harderbahn is a funicular from Interlaken to Harder Kulm. The funicular climbs to 1322 metres above sea level on the 10-minute journey and travels at a gradient of 64%.

With huge windows and a glass roof, the Harderbahn offers superb views of Interlaken.

At the summit, a short walk takes you to the Two Lakes Bridge from where you can see Lakes Thun and Brienz, Interlaken and the nearby peaks of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch.

There’s a restaurant which serves traditional Swiss meals, as well as a snack bar

If you’re feeling energetic, the Harder Wanderweg (a circular walking path) takes around an hour to complete.

🇨🇭 Read more about visiting Harder Kulm

Schynige Platte cogwheel railway

Operates : 15 June to 20 October, 2024

Since 1918 an open-sided cog-wheel railway to Schynige Platte has been operating from Wilderswil, just a few minutes from Interlaken.

Traditional-style carriages with wooden bench seats are still used today on the one-hour journey across the Breitlauenen Alp. Whilst an electric-powered engine is used today, four times per summer passengers can experience can enjoy a steam-powered ride with the original locomotive built in 1894.

Between 11am and 2pm each day (from 1 June), alphorn players dressed in traditional Swiss costumes perform a free concert. A photo is a must!

Schynige Platte is the starting point for numerous hikes of various lengths.

There is a bistro and a restaurant at Schynige Platte and it’s also possible to stay overnight in the hotel.

🇨🇭 Read more about visiting Schynige Platte

Wengen to Männlichen cableway

Operates: Year round except 8 April to 24 May, 2024 and mid-October to mid-December, 2024 (dates to be confirmed)

With plenty of alpine walks to enjoy, an adventure playground for children and great views over the Bernese Alps and Lauterbrunnen Valley, a visit to Männlichen makes a great day out.

A popular short hike is the Royal Walk which ends at a viewing platform with breathtaking views. The hiking trail is reasonably steep but you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas.

Männlichen can also be reached by cable car from Grindelwald Terminal.

Operates: Year round except for 6 to 31 May and 21 October to 8 November, 2024.

Access to the car-free village of Mürren from Lauterbrunnen includes a combination of cable car and train.

In four minutes, an aerial cable car transports passengers from Lauterbrunnen to Grütschalp, where they connect with a train to Mürren, via Winteregg.

All passengers visiting the Schilthorn travel through Mürren.

Cruises on Lake Thun and Lake Brienz

In addition to the above inclusions, passes also include train trips between Interlaken Ost and West stations, and Interlaken Ost and Brienz, as well as boat cruises on Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.

The 2024 Jungfrau Travel is available for use from 29 March to 27 October, 2024.

Watch our live Q&A session about the Jungfrau Travel Pass here.

Do any discounts apply to the Jungfrau Travel Pass?

Whilst there are generally no Jungfrau Travel Pass discount codes available, reductions do apply for holders of the Swiss Half Fare Card, Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Travel Pass Flex.

When purchasing your Jungfrau Travel Pass online, be sure to select the correct option to ensure you pay the discounted price.

Swiss Travel Pass holders and Swiss Half Fare Card holders can buy their discounted Jungfrau Travel Pass on this link .

You will be required to present both your Jungfrau Travel Pass voucher and your Half Fare Card and/or Swiss Travel Pass to the ticket inspector on request.

Does the Jungfrau Travel Pass include train travel all the way to the Jungfraujoch?

Whilst the Jungfrau Travel Pass does not cover the fare all the way to the top of Jungfraujoch, the final sector can be purchased at a specially reduced price.

If you’re wondering how to go to Jungfraujoch on the ‘cheap’, you should consider the pass even though it costs an additional fee as it still may be more economical for you.

The additional ticket for the Jungfraujoch journey should be purchased at Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald or Kleine Scheidegg railway station prior to your journey.

How do I validate my Jungfrau Travel Pass ticket?

If you have purchased your Jungfrau Travel Pass online, you should print out a copy of the voucher. The voucher/ticket does not need to be validated but should be presented to the ticket inspector on each train when requested.

Please make sure the dates on your voucher correspond to the dates you are travelling.

Do I need a seat reservation on the Jungfraujoch train?

Seat reservations are not compulsory but are highly recommended during high season, particularly in good weather.

Holding a seat reservation allows separate boarding and guarantees a seat on the sector between Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch and vice versa (about 30 minutes duration each way).

Specific seats are not allocated but a reserved seat is guaranteed.

Jungfrau bahn seat reservations cost CHF 10 per person return.

How long does it take to get from Interlaken to Jungfraujoch?

Both the Interlaken to Jungfraujoch train journey and the Grindelwald to Jungfraujoch train journey takes two hours. This makes a Grindelwald or Interlaken to Jungfrau day trip very easy.

The journey does require a change of trains but the timetables are set so that there is minimal waiting time between trains.

If travelling via Grindelwald you will travel on the Bernese Oberland Railway between Interlaken and Grindelwald. From Grindelwald, the Wengernalp rack railway operates to Kleine Scheidegg, then you transfer to the Jungfraubahn for the final leg of the journey.

Passengers travelling via Lauterbrunnen will take the Bernese Oberland Railway all the way from Interlaken to Wengen and then change to the Wengernalp rack railway to Kleine Scheidegg. At Kleine Scheidegg you meet the Jungfraubahn for the final sector.

How many trains per day operate to the Jungfraujoch?

There are twenty services per day between Interlaken and Jungfraujoch, departing every 30 minutes from 06:35 to 16:35.

For the return journey, the last departure of the day from the Jungfrau to Interlaken is at 18:43.

Do I have to start my trip to the Jungfraujoch in Interlaken?

No. If it is more convenient, you can start your journey at any of the stations along the route including Wilderswil, Lauterbrunnen ( click here for tips on things to do in Lauterbrunnen ) , Wengen or Grindelwald .

Can I break my journey to the Jungfraujoch?

Yes, it is possible to disembark at any of the stations along the way and re-join a later service on the same day. All passengers are required to disembark the train at Kleine Scheidegg and re-board another train on the opposite platform.

I recommend you spend at least three hours on at Jungfraujoch to allow enough time to see all the exhibitions. These include the Ice Palace where you can see impressive sculptures carved from ice, a 360-degree panorama film, and the Sphinx Observatory which offers superb views of the Aletsch Glacier.

What else is there to do at Jungfraujoch Top of Europe?

During the summer months the Snow Park is one of the most popular things to do at Jungfraujoch. Here you can try snow tubing (CHF 20 per adult, CHF 15 per child) or sledging (CHF 25/CHF 20) for unlimited rides, skiing or snowboarding (CHF 35/CHF 25) or just play in the snow.

There’s also a flying fox – called the Tyrolienne – (CHF 20 per adult/CHF 15 per child) and golfers can have three attempts at hitting a hole-in-one for just CHF 10.

(All prices to be confirmed for 2024.)

At Jungfraujoch Top of Europe you’ll also find a shop selling clothing and souvenirs.

What else should I know about the Jungfraujoch train?

• There are no toilets or food/drink facilities onboard.
• The trains operating on the Jungfraujoch line are wheelchair accessible but you should advise railway staff at your departure point if you are traveling with a passenger in a wheelchair so that someone is ready to assist with changing trains at Kleine Scheidegg.
• The Jungfraujoch service operates 365 days per year. 
• The Jungfraujoch railway station is the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres above sea level.

When should I buy the Jungfrau Travel Pass? Worth it or not?

If you are visiting the Jungfrau region of Switzerland between 29 March* and 3 November, 2024, are spending more than one day in the region, and will do a day trip to the Jungfraujoch and at least one additional excursion, the Jungfrau Travel Pass is likely to be the best value travel pass for your trip.

(*Note: Some excursions only begin operating in mid-May or early June).

Below is an example 3-day itinerary so you can decide is the Jungfrau Travel Pass worth it.

> Day 1 – Excursion to Jungfraujoch

Regular Jungfraujoch ticket price = CHF 249.80 return per adult from Interlaken (high season).

Cost with Jungfrau Travel Pass = Free except for supplement for the final journey CHF 75 (high season).

> Day 2 – Excursion to Mürren via the BLM Bergbahn (Lauterbrunnen – Mürren cable car/train) AND Harder Kulm funicular

Regular fare – Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen by train CHF 15.20 + Lauterbrunnen to Mürren by cable car/train CHF23.60 = CHF 38.80 return

Harder Kulm funicular = CHF 44 return

> Day 3 – Excursion to Grindelwald and Mt. First

Regular fare – Interlaken to Grindelwald First cable car station by train and bus CHF 29.60 return + cable car to Mt. First CHF72 return for the cable car = CHF 101.60

The total cost of the above excursions using regular adult fares is CHF 434.20.

The 3-day Jungfrau Travel Pass costs CHF 265 (CHF 190 plus CHF 75^ for the final sector on the Jungfraujoch). Purchasing the Pass represents a saving of CHF 169.20 per adult for the above excursions.

^Peak season supplement

All prices are based on departing from Interlaken Ost station and are subject to change without warning.

What does Jungfraujoch mean in English?

In case you were wondering, the German word Jungfrau means young lady or virgin, and the word joch translates as pass (as in a mountain pass).

Final Thoughts

The Jungfrau Travel Pass offers excellent value for those who plan to take the excursion to Jungfraujoch and enjoy more sightseeing in the region.

Visitors arriving in the region by car will also benefit from purchasing the Jungfrau Travel Pass as it is only possible to reach the mountain summits by train, cable car or funicular.

The car-free villages of Wengen and Murren can also only be reached by public transport, and these journeys are included with the Jungfrau Travel Pass.

Why not make the most of your time in the Jungfrau Region and explore the mountains, villages and lakes aboard the excellent network of trains, cable cars, funiculars and boats that are covered by the Jungfrau Travel Pass?

Jungfrau Travel Pass vs Swiss Travel Pass – Which Is Better?

if you are traveling to Switzerland and spending a lot of time in the Jungfrau region then it is worth comparing the Jungfrau Travel Pass vs the Swiss Travel Pass. Or perhaps, even getting both.

Below, I will give you a quick overview of what each one covers, the prices, and when one is better than the other.

Table of Contents

Jungfrau Travel Pass vs Swiss Travel Pass

The Jungfrau Travel pass is better for people spending most of their time in the Jungfrau region while the Swiss Travel Pass is ideal for those traveling more extensively in Switzerland.

In order to make a decision it is easier when you know what each one includes and whether that covers your travels in Switzerland.

What Is Included in the Jungfrau Travel Pass

The Jungfrau Travel Pass is focused on the Jungfrau region which means Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and all of the mountains in those areas.

So, it includes

• All public transport in the area (trains, buses – see map)
• Boat rides on Lake Thun and Lake Brienz
• First, Wengen, Männlichen, Mürren, Schynige Platte, Kleine Scheidegg, Eigergletscher, Harder Kulm
• It DOES NOT include the Schilthorn from Mürren
• One trip to the top of Jungfraujoch

The prices vary depending on how many days you stay in the region. Here are the prices for 3 – 8 days.

** Adult Reduced Price:  If you have one of the following – Swiss Half Fare Card/Half Tax, GA,  Swiss Travel Pass or Flex (Validated)

What Is Included in the Swiss Travel Pass

The Swiss Travel Pass is focused on providing free public transport in the whole of Switzerland. And, it also provides free entry to a lot of museums and reasonable discounts on So, it includes

• All public transport in Switzerland (train, tram, boat, bus)
• Free travel on panoramic trains like Glacier Express & Bernina Express
• Limited free mountain transport (Mount Rigi, Stanserhorn and Stoos)
• Discounted travel on most mountain railways and gondolas (50% in most cases)

The prices vary depending on how many days you wish to travel and whether you wish to use it every day, or a certain number of days in a month. Here are the prices for 3 – 15 days.

Swiss travel pass: exploring switzerland made easy, which is the better pass for you.

The exact answer is always difficult to judge, however, here are a few ideas on how to decide.

If you are going to travel to the Jungfraujoch and do at least one other mountain excursion in the Jungfrau region, then a 3-day Jungfrau Travel Pass pass starts to make a lot of sense. Many of the mountain excursions in the area are very expensive, so when you do more of them on top of the Jungfraujoch trip, it becomes a no-brainer.

However, if you are doing a lot of long-distance train travel in Switzerland, and perhaps also love to visit a lot of museums, then the Swiss Travel Pass makes a lot of sense. It does give you 50% discounts on most mountain trips too, but not the Jungfraujoch (only 25%).

Does Buying Both Passes Make Sense?

It could also make sense to combine the two passes, as you get a reasonable discount on the Jungfrau Travel Pass if you have the Swiss Travel Pass (see the second column of the pricing table). However, you will want to be making use of them both. So, lots of long-distance travel (and museum visits) and a lot of mountain trips in the Jungfrau Region.

Alpine sensation

A shudder runs down the spine of whoever enters the 250 metre long corridor between the Sphinx Hall and Ice Palace. Not only because of the frosty temperatures, but also because of the sacrifices made by the miners to open up the Jungfraujoch to the railway. 30 memorial tablets bear witness to this. The music on the way also gives you goosebumps: It brings back to life the beginnings of the Jungfraubahn, together with the images from the time of the tourism visionaries. Even if visitors are more comfortable today than the miners were – they feel relieved when, at the end of the experience, they can pose in front of the giant snow globe and say: I made it!

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL.

Indian CA Travels To Switzerland With Family For ₹90,000; Shares Tips

A n Indian CA took to X, claiming that his family of four had only paid ₹90,000 for an 11-day trip that included stops in 25 different Swiss towns. Since then, the Twitter thread has received 3.4 million views, indicating its viral nature.

"This is how we traveled Switzerland with over 25 towns in 11 days, including 4 boat trips at a total price of ₹90k for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids using the Swiss travel system; no travel agency will take you this route,” X user Mehul Shah said in the Twitter post.

The father of two stated that he had received two adult 15-day Swiss Travel tickets for ₹45,000 and a family card, which permits children under the age of sixteen to travel for free. Shah said he set up his base in Lausanne over the course of three days. He traveled to Gstaad on day two, a resort "near the cities of Zweisimmen and Saanen, and a town for celebrities."

"You can board a Panoramic Goldenpass train from Montreux which has a more scenic route," he said later. Reservations are not required, and most of the time you can still get a seat without one. Therefore, more than ten+ panoramic trains are covered by the Swiss Pass as well.He scheduled a "relaxing day" and visited the Olympic museum in Lausanne on the third day. The

On day 4, the family changed the base to Mierengen, where one can “get properties at almost 1/3rd rates from main tourist areas like Interlaken or Lucerne.” The same day, the family went on another boat cruise from Lake Brienz to Interlaken, which was free on Swiss Pass.In the next few lines, he shared yet another tip: “SBB has a unique service to transfer luggage at 12 CHF per luggage from one town to another. Although costly, I would recommend using this as if we analyse our per day cost, which goes wasted while we checkout from one hotel, change city and check in at another hotel. Here, you will have hands free while intercity travel so can visit many small towns in between by Hop on - Hop off any train.”

The family then opted for the less “touristy but much more beautiful mountain Mannlichen.” Shah added, “The journey till Interlaken- Lauterbrunnen - Wengen even though Cogwheel train is covered by Swiss Pass We took Cable Car from Wengen to Mannlichen and then took a Gondola from Mannlichen to Grindelwald and the excursion was opened just today for Summer 2024. The total cost for family of 4 was just Rs. 7,000 for a-way ride.”

Mehul Shah and family took a train to Bern on day 6 of his trip. He expressed, “You cannot miss the Clock towers and the two main shopping streets of Kramgasse and Gerechtigkeitsgasse are in the center of the Old Town. The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site is lined with six kilometres of arcades that invite visitors to enjoy a special kind of shopping experience. You will find trams running along the city, which is again free with Swiss Pass.”

"This is like a Hidden Gem I am going to share! Take a train to Luzern for an hour. Take a scenic boat cruise to Vitznau from Pier 1 for an hour. Board Europe’s Oldest Cogwheel Railway to Mt. Rigi—40 min. and behold!” X user @mehulshahca further wrote.

He added, “On May 21, 1871, Europe's first mountain railway departed on its inaugural ascent from Vitznau to Rigi Staffelhöhe—a milestone in the history of Mount Rigi. Today, Mount Rigi and its cogwheel railways present itself as a unique mountain railway paradise and all this again included in Swiss Pass without a single penny extra.”He also shared food options which one can explore: “Lausanne - Shanti - Indian. Gstaad - Mango - Indian. Bern - Tibis - Pure Vegan - Pay as per weight. Zermatt - Golden India - Indian. Mereingen - Hotel Sherlock Homes - Run by Indians Made Pure Jain food for us.”

“And as Gujaratis - Ghar ka Khana Thepla, Khichdi Locho, and homemade nachos. We bring vegetables from Coop or Migros and cook one time (which also helps to save cost ) or manage breakfast,” he further shared.
