Advice on trip to Jungfrau Region

Hi all,

I am Alicia and I will be traveling to Switzerland in 2 weeks' time. My friends and I were thinking of visiting Jungfrau Region but we are afraid it will be very costly. May I ask how are we supposed to get by Jungfrau Region by public transport? Are the cable cars very expensive?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Alicia

Hi Alicia,

Public transport is the way to go; a car isn't of much use in the Jungfrau region, see here. Some attractions are listed here. The Jungfraujoch train is quite expensive (about CHF 200 for a return ticket from Interlaken), but other trains and cable cars are priced like everywhere else in Switzerland. A Swiss Half Fare Card gets you 50% off the ticket prices. There are other rail passes too, see here.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply! seems like the public transport is very expensive. Would you advise me to visit Interlaken in mid december as I noticed that a lot of waterfalls are not opened during that time.

Hi Alicia,

If you skip the Jungfraujoch and pick the pass that fits your plans, as explained here, it does not need to be that expensive. For example, with a Swiss Pass you can reach the mountain villages of Grindelwald, Wengen and Mürren for free.

Interlaken is a good choice if you prefer budget accommodation. Hotels in the mountains are more expensive, especially around Christmas and New Year. Please see the Interlaken page for details.
