To Jungfraujoch by cable car and back by train

Short summary – read this first

A traveler is planning a trip to Jungfraujoch, intending to use a cable car from Interlaken Ost for the ascent and a train for the return. They are unsure if they need separate tickets for these different modes of transport and how the Swiss Travel Pass discounts apply.

Key takeaways:
  • You can travel to Jungfraujoch by cable car from Grindelwald or by cogwheel train from Wengen, and it's recommended to use different modes of transport for the trip up and down.
  • With a Swiss Travel Pass, you only need to purchase tickets for the sections you are traveling, as both modes offer a 25% discount.
  • Always check the timetable to plan your journey effectively, and feel free to ask for help at ticket counters if you have questions.

    hi there,

    would like to ask regarding the way to Jungfrauhoch.

    Im planning to go to Jungfraujoch by cable car from Interlaken Ost using cable car, and go way back by using the train.

    I understand that if i buy a train ticket, it will be price for return by using same mood of transportation (in this case is train) .

    Do I need to pay separately for the tickets if i plan to go by using for cable car and back by train?

    both mood is having 25% off with swiss travel pass?

    thank you.

    Hi Weeda,

    You can find information about how to reach Jungfraujoch here: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfraujoch/gettingthere

    Basically, you can travel by cogwheel train via Wengen or Grindelwald or by cable car from Grindelwald Terminal. I recommend going one way and return the other way.

    If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, you only need to get tickets from Grindelwald or Wengen (with 25% discounts). You can get your return tickets from the ticket machine or the counter at any train station.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Anna

    Hi Weeda,

    That’s right. You can choose your mode transportation for the journey to Jungfraujoch. You can use the timetable to plan your trip. If you’re not sure how to get the tickets, you can always make enquiries at the ticket counter in Interlaken or in Grindelwald.

    Regards,

    Anna
