Hi there. My husband and I will be arriving in Switzerland on September 20th and will be staying in Wengen first. We want to go to Jungfraujoch and have the STP. I am unclear about purchasing the tickets. Since we will be in Wengen that will obviously be our starting point and then do I put in Jungfraujoch or Kleine Sheidegg? Is there a spot to input that we have the STP? I’m just not 100% sure about this and don’t want to mess it up. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi Schnacky,

You want to enter Jungfraujoch, Kleine Scheidegg is a lower stop on the train. Are you looking to buy the ticket online? If so, yes you can enter that you have the Swiss Travel Pass to get your 25% discount.

Another option is to go in to the rail station in Wengen and buy the ticket there. Just show them your Swiss Travel Pass to get the 25% off ticket.

Hi Lucas,

Interestingly the SBB Ticket Shop on-line doesn’t have a mechanism for nominating a 25% discount. Only option are no-reduction or half-fare which you would get with the Swiss Half-Fare Card. Bit of an oversight n’est-ce pas?

Yes, I find it quite odd also – especially as Switzerland gets the odd tourist or two ;).
So you have to buy online at a 3rd party like HappyRail etc.

The same for the local ticket machines – everything is set up for Swiss residents (who either have the GA pass where they don’t need tickets 95% of the time or the half fare travelcard) and not for tourists. 🙁

. . . Or buy here http://www.jungfrau.ch/shop/e n/tickets/bergbahn/ang ebote/jungfraujoch-top-of-europe/tickets-jungfraujoch where they conveniently cater for the Swiss Travel Pass.

Thank you both for your help. Do you find it best to then buy our tickets in Wengen at the station, like the day before we would like to go rather online? As even on the jungfrau.ch website it didn’t give me the option of adding our STP. (unless I am doing something wrong) Should we reserve seats from Kleine Sheidegg to the Jungfraujoch? Sorry about the questions. I just want to clarify. 🙂 Thank you again!

Hi Schnacky,

You should see a drop-down box per attached. It’s on the 2nd screen, after you pick travel date and start/end stations. BUT, you don’t really want to buy tickets until you have some idea of how the weather looks. No use going up there in heavy cloud. If you are at Wengen anyway I’d be inclined to buy tickets at the station. They will have weather and reservation advice.
