Hi
New here looking for some help for my trip in two weeks.
Travelling down from Paris to Interlaken by car.
Staying two nights, going up Top of Europe in the 2nd day so the 18th June.
How soon before going is best to book the trip? Ive seen some say book early because it gets busy and I’ve seen some say wait until 2 days before you plan to go up to book it. Seems like a risk. As does booking so in advance because of the weather.

Thanks in advance. Ill probably have more questions too.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Welcome to MySwissAlps! Perhaps it helps knowing that seat reservations can still be cancelled until the day before travel, and you can rebook them to a different time until 45 minutes before travel. So you can still adapt to the weather somewhat within your available time.

This, and more details about Jungfraujoch, can all be found here: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/jungfraujoch/

You’d best not drive for your Jungfraujoch trip, but take the train straight from Interlaken so you can do the round trip via Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. If you park in one of these towns, you’ll only see one route.

Enjoy your trip!

Hi Arno,

Thanks for the information.
We’re driving down from Paris and staying in Ringgenberg for two nights at least. I’ve planned to park at the Matten b. Interlaken and take the train from there to Jungfraujoch. Cable car up and train all the way down.
Possibly looking at going up Harder Kulm, and to Lauterbrunnen. I know both are car free and I’d need to take trains and cable cars. But I don’t think we’ll be using much more public transport during our stay in Switzerland.
With all the above taken into account, is it worth getting a Swizz Full Pass, Swizz Half Pass or Booking those three locations separately as we need them?

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom Mogz,

If you are only exploring Jungfrau region, you might want to get the Jungfrau Travel Pass. But if you are also visiting other places in Switzerland and planning to do various other mountain excursions, we recommend the Swiss Half Fare Card.
