Regarding jungfrau

Hello vidhya,

You can use the Swiss timetable to find out about times of departure and arrival, just fill out date and time.

• the cruise point in Thun is pretty much near the railway stations. There will be signs/icons to show the route;
• yes, the Swiss Saver Pass will get you up to Chiasso for free. You'll have to purchase regular tickets for the leg Chiasso-Milano. All trains from Chiasso to Milano can be found through the timetable mentioned by Olga. If you click 'Fare/Buy' at the right of each connections, prices will be displayed;
• the cog train from Alpnachstad to Pilatus will start running by April. The exact date can't be predicted though, as it depends on current weather and snow circumstances. You can best keep an eye at the Pilatus website and inquire during your stay.

Thank u.
There are Eurocity that runs from chiasso to Milano.The fare is about 20 euro per person if I am correct.
I tried in sbb site.looks like there are other trains apart from euro city which runs chiasso to milano..
I have requested the fare for those trains...looks like in sbb site for those we cannot see the fare directly...request has to be made and they will send the mail...
It looks so wierd that we have to send a request and they will send a mail to us regarding the fare...
Am I looking at the right place in sbb site..

This is the link I am trying...when I click the Fare/buy it doesnt give the fare directly:(

Hi Rohit,

I'm not sure what you mean by "use it as a half fare card". A Swiss Saver Pass will always give you 25% off, and a Swiss Half Fare Card will give you 50% off. It would depend on your other trips which pass is best for you. The price difference for the Jungfrau is usually not a deal breaker as the Swiss Pass includes a lot of other free services that the Swiss Half Fare Card does not include.

I have read that the swiss saver pass gives 25% reduction on Jungfrau region while half fare pass gives 50%.
If i do not use the swiss saver pass day for this trip (use it as a half fare card), will that give me a 50% off ?
It sounds silly but I just wanted to confirm if this is correct or will the max saving for a swiss saver pass (whether its a day i am using it or not) is only 25% ?

thanks
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

I think you've been looking at half fare prices. A return ticket without any discounts is about double of what you mentioned. Prices are in the timetable and on the Jungfrau site as well.

rohitsud04 said: Also, the direct return fare for interlaken - Jungfrau is 100.8 CHF while if i calculate seperately for each length for a 2 way route
(interlaken to wengen + wengen to kleine scheidegg+kleine scheidegg to jungfrau and back + kleine scheidegg to grindelwald+grindelwald to interlaken), the cost is almost double.

So if i am travelling this route without any pass, would i be eligible on a 100.8 CHF return ticket to take the other route on return or do i need to calculate based on the individual journey costs only ?

thanks
Rohit

Hi Vanessa,

Indeed, if you're planning to do many mountain trips a pass that includes them for free would make sense. Either the Jungfrau Railway Pass or the Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland (which covers a wider area) would be options.

vanessa said: We will be in Murren for 7 nights and plan to take many cable cars, funiculars and trains on the Jungfrau railway. We have a Eurail pass but the only discount I can find is 25% off. Discovered there is a 6 day pass called the Jungfrau Railway Pass. It seems to be cheaper to just buy it outright instead of buying a half fare card for Switzerland. Any thoughts? Thank you!
