Hi,
I saw somewhere on the website that certain activities such as the alpine coaster in the Glacier 3000 is only operating from May-Sep. Is it fixed that way or is there any chance for it to operate in March? As I’ll be in Switzerland by end of March-2019, which one (Glacier / Jungfraujoch) is better for me to visit? What activities these two places offer/dont offer during the month? How much the price will be for both places with a swiss pass? Do I need to book ticket in advance? Is there any difference in price between booking online and at the ticket booth itself? How many hours I need to cover these two places separately? Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Lina and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Correct, the alpine coaster on Glacier 3000 won’t open until May: http://www.myswissalps.com/glacier3000. There are other activities there – a snow bus, glacier walk and even dog sledding. Have a read about my trip there last January: http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/day-trip-to-glacier-3000-near-gstaad but I haven’t been to Jungfraujoch before.
Both mountains are focused on winter activities in March – but there are a few more things on Jungfraujoch to see/do (some people find it a bit too commercial though). Here are details on what to do on Jungfraujoch: http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch
Prices (and trip duration from the town you will depart from) can be found using the Swiss railways timetable here: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable and you can see what discounts can be applied with the Swiss Travel Pass here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity (that is what you meant by Swiss Pass I think?)
Tickets don’t need to be bought in advance for either mountain trip – I’d probably choose the mountain closest to where you are staying.
Thank you for the info! 🙂
