7 Reasons to Consider the Jungfrau Travel Pass

If you’re planning a trip to Switzerland and dreaming of breathtaking mountain views, scenic train rides, and charming alpine villages, then the Jungfrau Travel Pass might just be your golden ticket!

Covering some of the most iconic routes in the Jungfrau Region, this pass makes exploring the Swiss Alps easy (and budget-friendly!) without worrying about individual ticket prices. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your Switzerland travel plans:

1. Unlimited Travel in the Jungfrau Region 🚂

With the Jungfrau Travel Pass, you can hop on and off as much as you like on the region’s most stunning routes. It covers

  • popular trains
  • cable cars and mountain trains
  • boats

It also includes trips between Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Grindelwald, Wengen, and even Brienz.

It’s perfect for travelers who love to explore without limits!

2. Huge Savings on Scenic Rides 💰

The cost can add up quickly if you plan to take multiple train and cable car journeys in the Jungfrau Region.

The Jungfrau Travel Pass gives you access to all rides in the region except for Schilthorn, Brienzer Rothorn and the final section to Jungfraujoch, saving you a significant amount compared to buying individual tickets.

So, if you are planning on going to

  • Mannlichen
  • Grindelwald First
  • Kleine Scheidegg
  • Harder Kulm
  • Schynigge Platte

Then it’s the perfect pass to save you time, money and stress while in the Interlaken region.

3. Discount on the Journey to Jungfraujoch 🏔️

While the pass doesn’t include the final leg up to Jungfraujoch (the highest railway station in Europe), it does offer a hefty discount on your ticket. This makes visiting the famous “Top of Europe” more affordable!

You can grab this so-called connecting ticket for just CHF 63 in shoulder season and CHF 85 from 01.06.2025 – 31.08.2025 (ie. peak summer season).

4. No Stress, No Ticket Lines 🎟️

Lines at Harder Kulm – when it’s busy the Red Line is long, and the Green line is short.

Nobody likes standing in line, especially when the Swiss Alps are calling! With this pass in hand, you can skip the hassle of buying tickets for every journey and simply enjoy the ride.

I have been to many of these places in summer and the lines can be long. But with the pass, you can skip the main line and go straight to the “already got a ticket” line and get on with your day!

  1. Hi Ashley, this pass sounds great but what would you use for the winter, we are a family of 8 with kids and adults travelling December 27 to January 3 with sight seeing and snowboarding members of the family, so something to suit all
