First Glider – discount with Swiss Travel Pass?
A traveler named Aditya330 is planning a visit to Grindelwald in April and is curious about discounts for the First Glider activity with the Swiss Travel Pass. They specifically want to know if the pass provides discounts on adventure activities like the First Glider and if it includes the cable car ride from Grindelwald to First.
- The Swiss Travel Pass offers discounted cable car tickets to Grindelwald First, but no discounts for adventure activities like the First Glider.
- You can purchase adventure activity tickets separately or opt for the Adventure Package, which includes a cable car ride and discounts, but it's only available from May.
- The other website mentioned offers a package that includes both the cable car and one adventure activity for 52 CHF.

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a discount to do the activity FIRST GLIDER with Swiss Travel Pass?
According to http://www.myswissalps.com/grindelwaldfirst/tickets -> it mentions discount varies for the activities, but I cant seem to find any info on the official website (http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/grindelwaldfirst/first-glider/) about the discount.
On the other hand, I also found another website: http://www.swisstours.com/mountain-excursion/9-grindelwald-first
It offers “With Swiss Pass (any 1 activity)” for 52 CHF. Does this offer include the Cable car from Grindelwald to First also or just one activity?

Hi Aditya330,
With the Swiss Travel Pass, you can buy discounted cable car ticket to Grindelwald First. The pass does not provide any discounts on the adventure activities such as the First Glider, First Flyer, trottibike and mountain carts rides).
You can either purchase tickets for the adventure activities separately (no discounts with Swiss Travel Pass) or buy a combi ticket called the Adventure Package (you’ll get some discounts with the Swiss Travel Pass). The Adventure Package includes unlimited ride on the cable car + 1 or more adventure activities of your choice.
You can find more info about Grindelwald First here: http://www.myswissalps.com/grindelwaldfirst
Information about the Adventure Package can be found here: http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/grindelwaldfirst/adventure-package/
Hope this provides the information you’re looking for.

Hi Anna,
Thanks for your reply! I see the Adventure Package is available only from May. I will be visiting in April, so I guess I have to book the First Glider ticket directly.
Also, any idea about the other website I mentioned?
It offers “With Swiss Pass (any 1 activity)” for 52 CHF. Does this offer include the Cable car from Grindelwald to First also or just one activity?

Aditya
Hi Aditya,
Yes, the excursion you mentioned includes free cable car ride to Grindelwald First + 1 adventure activity. The same offer can be purchased directly from the valley station and the official Grindelwald website (link in previous post). Currently only the First Glider and Trottibike ride are available.
Regards,
Anna
Thanks a lot for your responses Anna!
