Hi,

I plan to visit Jungfraujoch on Dec-14th. I have a few questions hope someone can clarify:

1. From what I been reading, most people recommend booking the ticket the day before or on the same day after checking the weather / webcam. How likely is it the ticket will be sold-out during December?

2. I plan to take the train up from Interlaken OST via Lauterbrunnen, then take the gondola down to Grindelwald before returning to Interlaken OST. Is this a good plan or should I switch to gondola up and train down?

3. In case the weather is bad on top, any recommendation on how to spend the day in Interlaken or surrounding area? I will have my EURail pass to use for that day.

Thanks!

Hi TravisL,

1) Although the winter season and skiing will already start in the middle of December, I am quite sure that tickets won’t be sold if you buy them 1 day before your trip to the Jungfraujoch. Read more here: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfraujoch/tickets.

2) I think it is a good plan. At http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfraujoch/gettingthere you can read about the different route options to the Jungfraujoch in detail.

3) With Eurail Global Pass you can reach Thun (http://www.myswissalps.com/thun) or Brienz (http://www.myswissalps.com/brienz) for free. You can also visit Bern (http://www.myswissalps.com/bern) or Lucerne (http://www.myswissalps.com/lucerne) in case of rain.

Thanks for the great information!

Regarding things to do around Interlaken, since I have visited Bern and Lucerne by the time I got to Interlaken, I’m curious is the EURail pass can take me to Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen for free and if either one worth visiting.

Thanks!

Hi TravisL,

With the Eurail Global Pass, you get 25% discount on the standard train ticket from Interlaken to Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen. Both destinations are certainly worth visiting and can be combined in one trip, as detailed here: http://www.myswissalps.com/onedayjungfrauregion
