How do I know if the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass is my best option?

If you’re sure you'll only travel within the Jungfrau Region, and if you've planned sightseeing but no skiing, it’s a very good option. If you want to explore more of the Bernese Oberland or all of Switzerland, I recommend considering the Swiss Travel Pass or the Berner Oberland Pass . You can search for further alternatives here .

When do I need to buy the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass?

You can buy it in winter: early January to late April and early December to late December. The pass is usually available a few weeks in advance.

I don’t travel in winter, is there an alternative pass?

Yes, you can consider the similar Jungfrau Travel Pass .

I plan to ski. Is the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass the best option?

For skiing, you'd best look into specific ski passes. There are ski passes for just the Grindelwald, Wengen, or Mürren-Schilthorn areas. If you want to cover all slopes, check the Jungfrau Region Ski Pass. For an even wider coverage area, consider the AlpsPass. This includes not only the Jungfrau Region ski lifts, but also those of Adelboden-Lenk, the Aletsch Arena, and Engelberg-Titlis.

What's the Unlimited Jungfrau Winter Pass?

This is an extended version of the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass. It covers roughly the same routes, but is valid during the entire winter season. That's why it's much more expensive than the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass. It only makes sense to look into this offer if you'll be using the trains and lifts of the Jungfrau Region intensively for 1,5 weeks or more.

What's the Jungfrau Travel Pass Winter?

This was another winter pass with similar benefits. It's no longer available.

How does the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass work?

It is quite easy: on all the blue lines that allow unlimited travel (see the map), you can board and enjoy the ride. You don’t have to buy tickets. Show or scan your pass when requested.

How to start using the pass

If you buy your pass online, you’ll create a so-called KeyCard for the Jungfrau ski region. A QR/order code is generated during the purchase. With this code, you can pick up your Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass at sales points and pick-up machines. These can be found at railway stations and several cable car valley stations in the area.

You can buy your pass on the spot as well.

Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass travel days

The travel days are consecutive. Even if you don’t travel on such a day, it still counts as a travel day.

Seat reservations

You do not need seat reservations for traveling in the Jungfrau Region in winter. All you need is your Jungfrau Hiking and Sledging Pass.

If you prefer to have seat reservations, you need to arrange for them separately. They’re not included in the pass. Seat reservations are offered for the trip to Jungfraujoch.

What to present to on-board staff

Once you’re on board, you will need to present your Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass (and the discounted ticket if applicable) to the staff upon request. The ticket controller may want to check your passport as well, to make sure you’re the owner of the pass.

In the case of cableways, your pass will be checked before you board.

When do you need additional tickets?

There are two types of trips:

Trips on routes that allow unlimited traveling. You can board any train, bus, etc. on such routes. You do not need a ticket. This applies to most of the covered area.
Trips on other routes. You need to arrange for a (discounted) ticket, for example, for the last stretch of the Jungfraujoch trip. If you didn’t order this along with your Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass, you’ll have to purchase it at the ticket office of staffed rail stations, from a ticketing machine, or online.

There are various cableways that also allow free travel. In some cases, you can scan your Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass to enter the cableway or funicular. If not, ask the personnel upon showing your pass. You’ll receive a free ticket to open the turnstiles.

Insider tips about the Jungfrau Winter Hiking and Sledging Pass

For the best panoramic overview of all of the Jungfrau Region, take a trip to either Schilthorn or Jungfraujoch. Mind that both are not free, but discounted.
A free panoramic trip would be a train ride from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg (with an optional break at Wengen). Then, travel either down to Grindelwald by train, or up to Eigergletscher by train and finally down to Grindelwald by cableway.
Rides to Männlichen and First are free as well.
