hi
we are family of 4 traveling from Australia – 2 adults 2 kids (8 & 3 yrs)
our plan is :
1 day Zurich , 1 Day lucern,
3 days across Grinderwald + Jungfrau , Interlaken n Spiez
we were planning to take a car to travel but we are rethinking it vs swiss pass.
Question I have is
1. we are planning to goto Jungrfau – IF we take the swiss pass is there any cost for kids as well ? i understand i think its free till grinderwald and then 25% to Jungfrau. so will i need to pay only adults with swiss pass or for kids as well.
2. we may goto Grindlewald first and pilatus. keeping this is mind is it better to take the pass or jsut pay individually ( not sure of the pass will cover tickets for free for kids?)
3. is it ok to drive around in switzerland. the only reason we were thinking was instead of lugging aroud luggage in trains we could do it easier by car. ..THANKS !

G’day Noniep and Welcome to MySwissAlps
1. I guess you mean Jungfraujoch? Your 3-year-old will travel free anywhere. Your 8-year-old will travel free with a Swiss Family Card (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw issfamilycard) in conjunction with a Swiss Travel Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass) or Swiss Half Fare Card (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecard).
2. Kids will be free as in (1) above.
3. Have a look at http://www.myswissalps.com/ca rversustrain.
Hi
I have another question related to Jungfrau Travel Pass. Hope you don’t mind if i post my query here.
I will travelling with my parents who are senior citizen in end of April 2019, my mum requires wheelchair. I am travelling with car to Interlaken.
We will be staying at Interlaken for 4 days. We are planning to go to Jungfraujoch in one of the day.The remaining days to roaming around at Grindelwald,, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Jungfrau.
My questions:
1. Is Jungfraujoch and train friendly for people with wheelchair?
2. Which one is better to purchase. Jungfrau Travel Pass or Swiss Travel Pass? I need to buy a ticket to Jungfraujoch.
3. From my understanding, two ways to go Jungfraujoch:
1.) Interlaken Ost – Grindelwald – Kleine Scheidegg – Jungfraujoch or
2.) Interlaken Ost – Lauterbrunnen – Kleine Scheidegg – Jungfraujoch.
Does the ticket to Jungfraujoch start from Kleine Scheidegg for both Jungfrau Travel Pass and Swiss Travel Pass?
Thank you
In terms of which pass, you need to do the math and pick the winner. Bernese Oberlander va. Jungfrau vs half fare card. You can do this by checking cost of train tickets on Sbb site. Not sure about wheelchair access. Kids are free typically with appropriate travel card except top of Europe. Safe travels.
Hi ritaabr and welcome to MySwissAlps!
- Typically not very good on the mountain railways. But you can read through SBB’s website and request help where required here: http://www.sbb.ch/en/station-services/passengers-with-reduced-mobility/wheelchair-walking-impaired.html
- You’ll need to check your math and compare the rail passes once you’ve finalized your itinerary – it is the only way to know which pass is the best for you: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass
- Most people do a round trip to Jungfraujoch, one-way via Grindelwald and the other via Lauterbrunnen. The Swiss Travel Pass covers trains as far as Wengen (just beyond Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, the rest of the ticket is 25% off). The Jungfrau Travel Pass covers you to Eigergletscher and then rest is a fixed 69chf.
Thank you for your kind feedback Disantor
Thanks Lucas for the good info. Will check and contact SBB.
