Hi thereI will be spending 3 days in Interlaken at the end of February 2015. I'm wondering if I should visit Jungfarujoch or Schilthorn. What is the main difference between these 2 tourist attractions? I understand that the weather can determine if tourists can still visit these locations. Would you suggest that we buy tickets in advance? I'm concerned that I may not be able to get tickets if I buy them when I get to interlaken.It seems like the point to point tickets from interlaken ost to Jungfrau or schilthorn are quite expensive. Would you suggest buying a swiss pass to enjoy 50% on these tickets? Are cable car rides covered under the swiss pass as well? Thank you.

There is no need to buy tickets in advance. With a Swiss Travel Pass, you will get free traveling up to Mürren (that includes the cable car). From there, there’s a 50% discount on the Schilthorn cable car. For a trip up to Jungfraujoch you will get free traveling to Grindelwald and Wengen, and 25% discount from there. See here for all about the pass and what’s included. See here for how to pick the best pass.
