Hello Lindenwood,

Thank you for sharing your plans.

Given your itinerary, I think the Jungfrau Travel Pass would be a good fit for your trip. You can read all about the pass in the below link, including where you can buy the pass, the coverage map and how to use:

• https://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrautravelpass

If you are wanting to check if things are open/running, take a look at the activity pages and if there any maintenance breaks taking place for the cable cars or trains. This will be detailed in the “route” tab. For example: Wengen to Männlichen, you will see that the cable car is not resuming till 26 May, 2023: https://www.myswissalps.com/mannlichen/gettingthere

For more ideas in the Lauterbrunnen area, have a look here: https://www.myswissalps.com/lauterbrunnen/activities, perhaps if time /weather permits, a hike from Suwald to Grütschalp Here, you can enjoy some amazing views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Yes, best to check the weather forecast before embarking on any hikes. The forecast is a little more accurate 2 to 3 days in advance. If you are seeing rain forecast now, it could well change nearer to your arrival. Spring is on its way 🙂 If it’s light drizzle, you will find most activities are still doable but if you are visiting Jungfraujoch, it’s best to go when the weather is fine to enjoy the views.

Thanks for this yolanda. Base on my itinerary if wengen to manlichen is still close. What can you suggest after visiting jongfraujoch?

Is there any places in jungfrau region that i missed in my itinerary. This is my 1st time going here so i would like to maximize my stay here.

Thanks.

Hello Lindenwood,

After visiting Jungfraujoch, perhaps you could take the train down to Kleine Scheidegg and do the panoramic walk that way? That said, It would mean hiking back to Kleine Scheidegg. Afterwards, you would catch the train to Wengen. More details below and do use the timetable link to check the train departure times.

• https://www.myswissalps.com/timetable

Or if you are feeling adventurous and the weather is fine, you could instead hike down to Wengen from Kleine Scheidegg? More information below – you would be doing the walk in reverse so it should be less demanding as you are going downhill.

Kind regards,
