    Can I use my mobility scooter on Swiss trains, including the Jungfrau train ? The websites all refer to wheelchair s but is a pavement mobility scooter OK as well? Thanks

    Hi Helen and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    I would say yes, you can board with it in case it does not exceed the maximum dimensions that are permitted. “Electric vehicles that might block access to the passenger coach because of their size are not allowed on board trains. “

    Please refer to “What are the maximum dimensions for a wheelchair on the train?” under “Preparing for your journey”: http://www.sbb.ch/en/station-services/passengers-with-reduced-mobility/faq.html

    I hope this help. Also more about Jungfraujoch: http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch

    Hello Helen,

    From http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/faq/:

    Is the Jungfraujoch accessible for people in wheelchairs?

    It is possible for wheelchair users to travel by rail to the Jungfraujoch Top of Europe. Reservation for groups is essential. Maximum 10 persons per group (max 3 wheelchairs per train composition). Please inform the railway personnel at the station of departure so that a member of staff is available to assist with changing trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The Jungfraujoch is also wheelchair accessible. The entrance to the Ice Palace is fitted with a stair lift.”
