    me and my friends had bought the eurail pass (332 euro each) and i am wondering if i could get any discount if i want to go to jungfraujoch from interlaken?

    there are 2 routes going up to jungfraujoch right?
    1. Interlaken > Lauterbrunnen > Kleine Scheidegg > jungfraujoch
    2. Interlaken > Grindelwald > Kleine Scheidegg > jungfraujoch

    may i know which route is cheaper? which route is faster? what is the total amount i have to pay if i wanted to get a return ticket (go and return)?

    Hi cygenus,

    There are indeed two routes which cost the same and are equally fast. I would recommend to use both routes to see as much of the scenery as possible. A Eurail Pass grants a 25% discount on the prices listed here.

    Enjoy the ride!

    Good morning ticket’s route is from interlaken up to jungfraujoch right? can i go up to jungfrau via grindelwald and then return via Lauterbrunnen? can i choose the route when im returning if im using Good Morning ticket? Sorry for the poor english

    and 1 more question, It is stated that Good morning ticket cannot be discounted because it is already in reduced rate, if i buy the

    Jungfraujoch via Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald 2nd class for 181.8 CHF – 25% discount = 136.36 CHF isn’t it cheaper then Good Morning ticket? lol

    The Good Morning Ticket is for the same route. It is for people who do not have a rail pass. In your case, it’s best to use the discount of your Eurail Pass.
