An absolutely superb video! I am a regular visitor to Switzerland and this video is a brilliant summary of the choices available. In particular, I would stress the point that Grindelwald TERMINAL is outside the village and not a place where you would want to break your journey.
Hi! Very informative video, thank you! I actually booked my tickets just as you showed in the video. I have a question regarding the timing on my Jungfraujoch ticket. The ticket shows a journey from Grindelwald Terminal to Jungfraujoch at 09:15 and a return trip at 11:47 from Jungfraujoch to Kleine Scheidegg. Do I need to travel only at these specific times, or is it flexible enough for me to visit Grindelwald First on the way up and Lauterbrunnen on the way down? Thanks for your help!
You're most welcome! If you have seat reservations too (for the train on the last segment), you need to travel at the indicated times. In that case, I'd recommend to go up to Jungfraujoch first, visit Lauterbrunnen next in the early afternoon, and end at Grindelwald-First later in the afternoon: www.myswissalps.com/activity/grindelwald-first/. Without reservations, you can travel at any time. If in doubt, feel free to post your ticket to the forum for further assistance: www.myswissalps.com/community/forum/questions/
@@myswissalps Thanks for replying, you mean to say while returning, I can stop in Lauterbrunnen and from there I can go to Grindelwald-First later? (I have a reservation and in the ticket this mentioned : JOURNEY 09:15 Grindelwald Terminal - Jungfraujoch, RETURN TRIP11:47 Jungfraujoch - Kleine Scheidegg)
@@siddharthsharmahy Yes, exactly. You'd first complete the entire Jungfraujoch trip according to the reserved times, and then you're under no time-pressure for the rest of your plans. Do check the timetable in advance because it's quite a full day: www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/
Yes, with the Swiss Travel Pass, the trains are free up to Wengen and Grindelwald. All routes from there to Jungfraujoch are 25% discounted. You'll find all pass discounts here www.myswissalps.com/activity/jungfraujoch/#discounts and here www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-travel-pass/#discounts-mountain
@@Sankhsarkar1 With the Swiss Half Fare Card, you'd buy a 50% discounted ticket for the Jungfraujoch trip. That's the discount regardless of which route you take. You can go here to see how it works and what's covered: www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-half-fare-card/
All routes cost the same but the price varies based on the type of train pass you have (or no pass). You'll find prices here: www.myswissalps.com/activity/jungfraujoch/#price
Ik ken de rondrit per trein (toen ik er voor het laatst was bestond de "Eiger Express" nog lang niet. Maar, ik heb voor mijzelf het idee dat de iets langzamere rondrit per trein veruit het mooiste is. Zelf reis ik altijd per trein en probeer elke 2-3 jaar een paar weken naar dit prachtige land te gaan. In de regel ga ik echter in het naseizoen vooral naar Graubünden: óók mooi en wat minder duur dan het Berner oberland.
You could take route 2 up and 3 down. Or for most variety, route 2 up and 1 down, and back to Grindelwald by changing trains in Zweilütschinen. Feel free to post here if you need more advice: www.myswissalps.com/community/forum/questions/
Which route did you take?

Graubünden is inderdaad ook schitterend: www.myswissalps.com/region/graubunden/
Thank you for the great video! Are there WCs on the trains up to Jungfraujoch?
You are most welcome! I've never seen toilets on those trains. The longest you'll be on one train is 40 minutes, and all the stations have toilets.
We are gonna be staying in Grindelwald. Any suggestions on which route to take.
