    I tried to book ticket from http://www.jungfrau.ch . I didn’t see how to use swiss pass. I can select the date and time

    But from http://www.raileurope.com, I can by the ticket to Jungfrau with the pass. The problem it doesn’t have the date. I need to go to train station too reserve.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks.

    Hello Hongda and welcome to MySwissAlps,

    If you go to http://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/ then click on “Plan and Book” you will be able to insert date of travel and start end points for your trip.

    Then you will get a choice of times. Pick the one you want and you will see a page as per attached.

    Select Swiss Travel Pass (I assume that’s what you mean when you say “swiss pass”) and the correct discount will be applied.

    I’m not sure why http://www.raileurope.com isn’t working for you.

    Don’t book too far ahead (eg no more than 48 hours) – wait to see what the weather is likely to do on you preferred date.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Hongda,

    Most retailers sell open date tickets for mountain trips. That’s an advantage because the weather is a factor as Rockoyster explained. You’ll be flexible with such a ticket. In case of the Jungfraujoch trip you can optionally book seats for the Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch leg to make absolutely sure you can make the trip when you want to. You need to buy the reservation when you know the weather is good enough. You can buy the ticket earlier if you want, provided you are long enough in the region to pick the best day for your visit.

    Hi Rockoyster,

    Really thanks for your snapshot. I spent some time looking for the pass discount. They system shows different pass from different stations. Very confusion.

    I checked the swiss pass rail map. Then, I realized I’d better to use what you told me in snapshot.

    Thanks again. I just bought it.
