Adventure package on Grindelwald-First

Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Topher is planning a trip to Mount First using the Berner Oberland Pass. He wants to know if he can buy tickets for adventure rides back down the mountain without needing to buy another gondola ticket, and if so, whether he can reserve these tickets online or must buy them on-site.

Key takeaways:
  • You can purchase tickets for the adventure rides separately online without needing to buy a gondola ticket again.
  • If you prefer to buy tickets at the mountain, you can do so at the ticket counter one by one.
  • It's advisable to check the adventure activity website for individual ticket purchases.

    I have a Berner Oberland Pass which will get me to the top of Mount First via the cableway Gondolas. Once up there at the top, I’d like to take the rides (First Flieger, Mountain Carts, etc.) back down to the bottom. Can you reserve or buy tickets for these rides ahead of time? I have found a website which allows you to buy tickets for the Gondolas ahead of time (but I don’t need to do that with my pass), and that allows you to buy an “adventure package” for a gondola ride plus 1 or 2 or more of the rides back down, but these packages all include a Gondola ride which I’ve already got a pass for and don’t want to buy another pass for. Is there anyplace on line where I can buy a ticket for just one or more of the rides back down the mountain? If not do I have to stand in line at the bottom (which the pass I have should allow me to bypass) in order to buy one or more of these adventure rides back down? Or do I just pay for them one at a time from the start of each ride as I go back down the mountain on the rides? I’m worried if i try this some of them will be sold out. Would really prefer to be able to check the weather a day or two before, then go online and buy my tickets for the rides down the mountain ahead of time.

    Hi Topher,

    That’s right, with the Berner Oberland Pass, you can travel for free on the gondola to Grindelwald First. You can purchase the Grindelwald First Adventure Package online from the official website: http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/grindelwaldfirst/adventure-package/

    So that website allows me to buy combo tickets for a gondola ride plus one of the adventures. But I don’t need to do that since I can already ride the gondola with my berner oberland pass. So is there a place to buy JUST tickets for the rides with NO gondola ride added in? And if not can I buy them up on the mountain one by one, or do I need to buy them down at the bottom before I get on the Gondola.

    Hi Topher,

    You can click on each adventure activity to purchase a ticket without the gondola ride.

    You can start here: http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/grindelwaldfirst/first-flyer/

    Hi Topher. I have the same question as you. We bought BO pass and have half fare card also. Did u now buy individual first tickets for each activity since the gondola is covered by the BO pass?

    Hi crave,

    If you have a Berner Oberland Pass, you can purchase the tickets for the adventure activities on Grindelwald First separately on the link I provided in the last comment. Alternatively, you can purchase the tickets directly from the ticket counter.
