Top Grindelwald Sightseeing Passes

The Jungfrau Travel pass is a wonderful deal. Besides the tremendous savings on riding the lifts, it allowed us to ride the Swiss trains throughout the region and using the ferry to take us to Thun without needing to make reservations. I recommend this to anyone planning to spend at least 3 days in the region.

If you set your expectations at "Swiss Mountain Disneyland" - you'll have a great time. Yes there are lots of people and yes it's a little kitschy, but it's also an amazing place with beautiful views. If possible, go early and on a clear day. The altitude got to be a bit much for our little one (5 yrs old) after a while. It's definitely worth the trip.Put it this way, the glaciers won't be around much longer so check them out while you still can!Worth noting, the Jungfrau Travel Pass saves you quite a bit, especially if you are planning on doing any other gondolas or trains in the area.

It is not a tour - we just got the ticket before. But that was ok, you don't need a guide. We went later in the morning and it works fine with the tickets. No need to exchange - just walk through to the cableway. Very smooth ride with stunning views along the way. When you get to the top, you can do a lot of things, from different walks to rides. Hiking to Bachalpsee is also very nice, though I struggle a bit.

The Grindelwald First cable car offers a scenic 25-minute ascent with stops along the way. The alpine views at every level are undeniably beautiful, and for first-time visitors, the experience may seem thrilling. As we got the ticket by Cool Destinations before, we did not have to queue up for 2 hours!

Easy to use, we were able to access many places than just using it for the trains, which saved us a substantial amount of additional money. I would definitely print the pass off, much easier!

Covers a wide range of railways, cable cars and even lake cruises from Interlaken. We used it every day. Doesn’t cover Jungfraujoch or Schilthorn which incur extra charges.

What a wonderful experience to see the Alps! I received the tickets by email three weeks in advance. Go to Grindelwald Station (this is the last stop) and walk about 10-15 minutes to Grindelwald First, where you take the funicular to the summit. There are three stops. The first two are where the adventures and activities are, and the last stop is the first, where you can do the cliff walk and the hikes for free.

First of all: breathtaking, amazing, stunning! And now, on to practical stuff: we bought combo tickets that included a bus ride from the parking, unlimited use of cable cars and 2 activities per person. We parked in the garage right where the bus picks you up and takes you to the Grindelwald First Cable Car station.). As you exit the parking structure, the bus will be on your right. Weather: we were there in August and on that specific day it was around 16C at the foot of the mountain and much colder on top. I mean, much colder! Hats/scarves and mittens much colder, especially if you are traveling with the kids. We were unfortunate with some bad weather during our visit, fog. Part of our rides on cable cars was covered with fog. The fog can clear as you go higher and then can come back again. Some activities WILL get delayed or CANCELLED altogether due to fog. We got really lucky to be the last ones to do First Glider and it shut down for the day after us due to fog. You will not get your $$ back, but you can do some other activities that will remain open (trott bikes and mountain carts). First Glider had over an hour wait. If we ever go back, I will not be buying tickets for activities beforehand, due to the fact that weather can alter your plans. You can actually pay for your activity as you are about to embark on one. There are pay machines right at the start of each activity (card only though). My family also did mountain carts which was a blast (another hour wait) and our kids did trott bikes down the mountains into the town. I didn’t do any activities which helped us split as I waited in lines why the rest of the family did the activities. We started walking on First Walk, it was raining and became very slippery. I didn’t realize how narrow that walk is, we ended up turning around as it didn’t seem safe at that point.All in all it was an absolutely amazing day, even with the bad weather. Our family had a blast!

​It is just a short walk from the Grindelwald train station to the cable car departure point. Tickets could easily be bought from a machine. There was no queue at all this time so my wife and I got a private cabin.​The journey to the top took about 25 minutes and was very pleasant. The ride itself was not particularly dramatic and the cable car did not go very high off the ground.​At the top there is a winding observation deck with multiple levels which is perfect for taking nice souvenir photos. The bridge running along the edge of the cliff was really fun and offered great views. There is also a separate bridge section where you can stand at the very end and take photos with absolutely nothing around you. It was a really great experience overall and definitely worth a visit.​On the way back down you can take a mountain cart from the first station. That was a really awesome way to end the trip.

We booked the Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe trip through the Jungfrau Travel Pass. It was a little expensive and fairly crowded, but we still had fun and enjoyed the experience. It was absolutely freezing at the top, so make sure to dress very warmly!

Getting the Jungfrau Travel Pass is well worth it if you are staying in the area. We travelled on buses, mountain trains and cable cars. Note that it gives you discount on the Schilthorn cable car and Jubgfraujoch but doesn't cover it.

If you’re in the region, just do it. You could probably get my in 90 minutes but we were there 2.5 hours. There are a few different areas, including a couple outside, but it was amazing. There are so many tourists taking pictures, but it’s a spectacular place. Get the pass so you can travel to Wengen and Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, etc.

Same price as buying it on your own, so might as well earn some points and Cool Destinations credit as well for booking.

If you are spending a few days in the Jungfrau region the Jungfrau travel pass is a must! I covers all of the trains and cable cars from Interlaken to Murren and offers a $63chf ticket to the top of Europe.

Wow what an experience - the views are simply stunning, and experiencing snow in August was a first! We actually visited twice during our week in Switzerland, our son loved the snow! It was as expected very busy, but don’t let this put you off. We took the cable car up and down on both visits.The first visit we experienced lots of pushing to get on the final train up which was not an enjoyable experience, I do feel there could be a better way of organising passengers onto the train similar to how you board a ride at a theme park. The second visit was much better, having a reservation for the train, we walked past the crowds right up to the other end of the platform, almost as far as you can go. Here we boarded with ease, no pushing and found a seat really easily.On our first visit we complete missed the best snow in my experience on the UNESCO side, here there were deck chairs to enjoy the views, the snow park were we enjoyed the Snow Tubes and a hike if you wanted to explore. The Ice Glacier was great but much busier and the queue for a photo with the flag was huge. We found there was a flag for a photo on the Snow Park area near the deck chairs without the queues.Go as early as you can, we got the 8.45 train to the top and it was fairly quiet, we allowed ourselves three hours there and it was very busy as we left. We got an earlier train down both times with no problem at all. The restaurant was packed with pre reserved coach trips so that wasn’t ideal, but we did enjoy a hot chocolate on the snow!

Cable car to the top of Grindelwald, spectacular views! Well organized, not too much of a queue for cable car, though we could see there was a large queue for the flyer and go carts so we didn’t have time to do that. You can see at the point of boarding the cable car what is available and how long the queues are. We did the mountain walk at the top which was lovely, only takes about 15 mins, there was a queue for the part that stick out for people taking photos, which we didn’t wait for and do that - but you don’t have to if you are not bothered about this. We then got back on the cable car and got off at the station halfway down to go on the trotti bikes as we did have time for this and they were fantastic, highly recommend!! Such a lovely scenery as you coast down the bottom half of the mountain and back into Grindelwald.
