is grindelwald first covered in swiss pass
The Swiss Travel Pass, also known as the Swiss Pass, is a popular travel card that offers free or discounted travel on public transportation in Switzerland, including trains, buses, and boats.
Regarding Grindelwald, it is a mountain resort town in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. While the Swiss Travel Pass does cover some transportation options in Grindelwald, it’s essential to understand what’s included and what’s not.
Here’s what you need to know:
Free travel:
- The Swiss Travel Pass covers the train journey from Interlaken Ost to Grindelwald on the Berner Oberland Bahn (BOB) railway line.
- You can also use the pass to travel on the Grindelwald Bus network, which connects the town to nearby villages and attractions.
Discounts:
- With the Swiss Travel Pass, you can get a discount on the Grindelwald-Männlichen gondola lift and the First Glider (a funicular and gondola lift that takes you to the First mountain station).
- Additionally, you’ll receive a discount on the Jungfrau Railway, which connects Grindelwald to the "Top of Europe" – Jungfraujoch.
Not included:
- Some mountain railways and cable cars in Grindelwald, such as the Pfingstegg cable car and the First Cliff Walk, are not included in the Swiss Travel Pass. However, you may still be able to get a discount with your pass.
To make the most of your Swiss Travel Pass in Grindelwald, I recommend checking the official Swiss Travel System website or consulting with a local tourist information office for the latest information on what’s included and what discounts are available.
