Hello everyone,

Would greatly appreciate some advice.

I will be on a business trip to Feldkirch, Austria and Buchs, Saint Gallen, Switzerland in November. I will have 1 weekend to myself.

Given that I get off from work on Friday around 4 pm, I am planning to travel to Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn for the weekend.

I would greatly appreciate some advice on the following:

I) What would be the best travel route for me given that I start from Buchs, St. Gallen?

ii) Should I get the Swiss Travel Pass?

iii) Would it be possible to cover Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn on the Saturday and visit some other place on Sunday? If yes, where should I go?

Thank you & best regards,

Raul

Hi Raul,

Welcome to MySwissAlps. Thanks for joining the forum.

A single journey from Buchs SG to the top of Jungraujoch takes about 5.5 hours. My personal suggestion would be to leave on Friday evening and travel to Interlaken and spend a night (or two) there. There are plenty of accommodation options in Interlaken: http://www.myswissalps.com/interlaken/hotels

From Interlaken, you can visit Jungfraujoch in the morning and still have enough time to visit Schilthorn in the afternoon. You can find details on how to get to Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn from Interlaken in the following links:

• Jungfraujoch: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfraujoch/gettingthere
• Schilthorn: http://www.myswissalps.com/schilthorn/gettingthere

Based on your plans, you might want to consider getting a Swiss Travel Pass. With the Swiss Travel Pass, you can travel for free on Swiss public transport and enjoy discounted travel on mountain transportation. More details here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass

In your case, travel from Buchs SG to Interlaken is covered, and your mountain excursions to Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn are discounted. Currently there is promotion on the 4-day Swiss Travel Pass. It is available at 30% discount until 31st October. You can find the promotion here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/promotions

Hope this helps.

regards,

Anna

I completely agree with Anna. If you leave Buchs SG at 16.15, you can get to Interlaken by 19.26

If the weather forecast for Interlaken / Jungfrau is not good, or you want to go somewhere closer then head towards Chur and St Moritz
