We will be staying in Wengen for 3 nights in May. Can we go direct from there to Junfraujoch using our Swiss half fare card without pre booking ? We want to choose the day according to the weather.

Thanks for the advice

Hello Linda,

Sure you can go without pre-booking. Just buy a half-fare ticket on the day from Wengen Station.

Hi Linda

A wise idea! Indeed, you can travel once you know the weather forecast and in fact that it was we recommend if not travelling in high season (July and Aug): http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch

Regarding going from Wengen to Jungfraujoch… we will be there Aug 26 – 29. From what was said above I get the feeling that the train could be fully booked before I buy if I wait until the day of?

Hi Pkerr,

Usually it’s no problem but trains can book out in high season. Please see http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch/tickets.

Thanks Rockoyster. Do you know if Wengen is a manned station or is there a machine that will issue tickets using the half fare card ?

Wengen would be manned.

Thank you. So much helpful advice for a couple of oldies from Australia who want to make the most of our trip to Switzerland

Your welcome, I’m an “oldie” from Australia. MySwissAlps made my first trip to Switzerland a great experience and I’ve been kicking around here ever since. You might find Switzerland is just a little bit addictive.

So, after checking weather the previous day, If I decide to go to station and buy ticket for Jounfraujoch, how do I buy seat selection at the station? Will I get option to add seat selection while making purchase?

You don’t get to select a seat. Did you read http://www.myswissalps.com/fo rum/topic/train-from-zermatt-to-wengen-on-july-15/page/2#hC7sQ6DW9mqS 6v8AAFcRTQ

Hi Jakey,

Indeed no seat selection. That’s not required for the best view anyway as most of the route is inside a tunnel 😉
