Interlaken Guest Card: ticket from Wilderswil only for mountain trips?

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is planning a 5-day trip to Interlaken in July, focusing on day trips to the mountains like Schilthorn and Jungfrau. They want to know if they only need to buy a ticket from Wilderswil instead of more expensive tickets from Interlaken since they have an Interlaken Guest Card for local transport.

Key takeaways:
  • You can use the Interlaken Guest Card for free transport between Interlaken and Wilderswil, so buy tickets starting from Wilderswil for your day trips.
  • If you're planning multiple mountain excursions, consider getting the Jungfrau Travel Pass for better value and convenience.

    We’re staying 5 days in Interlaken (July), and will be spending at least 2 days day tripping up the mountains (eg Schilthorn, Jungfrau). Given we will have an Interlaken Guest Card (free public transport within local area – eg to Wilderswil in the South), does that mean that we’d only need to buy a train ticket from Wilderswil to where we are going instead of from Interlaken (which is dearer!)

    Hi mickrod,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    Yes, the Interlaken Guest Card includes free train and bus travels between Interlaken and Wilderswil. So for a day trip to Lauterbrunnen or Wengen for instance, you can purchase tickets starting from Wilderswil.

    If you are planning several day trips and mountain excursions, consider getting the Jungfrau Travel Pass (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/jungfrau-travel-pass/).

    Regards,
