Jungfraubahnen-Pass
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are various train-combination-tickets for the area around Wilderswil and Jungfraubahnen-Pass is the first one I may recdommend:
    It will depend on the duration of your vacation and of course also on a good weather-forecast and it might make sense to buy this special pre-paid train-ticket for 6 consecutive days and it is valid for the whole area between Interlaken Ost and Grosse Scheidegg, Kleine Scheidegg,Maennlichen, Wengen,Muerren,First,Grindelwald, Busalp, Harder Kulm and Schynigge Platte.
    You may use all of these trains and buses for free for 6 days, only for the train between Kleine Scheidegg and Jungfraujoch you pay 50 sfr extra.
    For the Schilthorn you have to pay the full price !! - In case that you intend to go to Schilthorn and/or Brienzer Rothorn as well , I may recommend to buy the "Regionalpass Berner Oberland" instead of Jungfraubahnen-Pass !!
    Read more about it in my next transportation-tip !!

    The Jungfraubahnen-pass is 190 sfr for the 6 consecutive days !

    Regionalpass Berner Oberland
  • Tip Rating:
  • Regionalpass Berner Oberland is certainly the better deal in many cases, when you choose Wilderswil as your base to explore the wider area of Jungfrau-Region, including Brienz and a lot more, BUT you better calculate that for yourself:
    The Regional-Pass Berner Oberland is valid 7 (220,-sfr) or 15 consecutive days (265,-sfr) and during any 3 or 5 of these days you may use this ticket for unlimited travels, (only for Schilthorn you pay 30 sfr extra and for Jungfraujoch you pay 50 sfr extra ).
    That ticket is for 7/15 consecutive days, BUT you may choose any 3 (or 5) days of them by yourself for unlimited travels - you simply stamp your ticket at any trainstation into a machine in the morning of these days.
    During the other days you show this ticket and pay just half of the ordinary prices.
    This ticket includes also all trains and ships around Brienzersee and Thunersee, trains till Brig, Lenk i.S., Adelboden, Meiringen, Gstaad and halfprice all days to Zermatt, Luzern, Bern etc...
    It includes also Brienzer Rothorn and Stockhorn.
    I had this ticket with 7 days and could save a lot of money, although I had only 3 days with excellent weather.

    The cablecar from FIRST to Grindelwald

    FIRST is the name of a mountain high above Grindelwald and I mention it here, because it might be an essential means of transportation, when you are going to do some hikes from Schynige Platte to Faulhorn and First. It makes sense to study the time-table of that cablecar before you are leaving, because in summer 2005 the last cablecar down was at 05.00p.m. and when you get there just a few minutes later, you have to walk downhill another 2-3 hours...
    First is a mountain with a hight of 2168 meters above sea-level and it is also a perfect point to start various mountain-hikes, from easy to energetic. So you could just as well take the train from Wilderswil to Grindelwald and take the cablecar there, it starts in the centre of Grindelwald, close to the Sunstar-hotel and there are 3 stations where you may leave the cablecar:
    1)BORT in a height of 1570m : from here you may walk to Wetterhorn within 1:50 h or take an easy trail back to Grindelwald - hiking or by trotti-bike
    2)SCHRECKFELD in a height of 1955m is a great place to hike to Grosse Scheidegg
    3)FIRST, in a height of 2168m : the starting-point for hikes to Bachalpsee, Faulhorn, Schynigge Platte etc.

    the cog-wheel-train to Schynige Platte
  • Tip Rating:
  • The old cog-wheel-train to Schynige Platte starts in Wilderswil, at a side-track of the ordinary station, so you simply have to step to another platform, when you arrive from Interlaken. That train will take you to Schynige Platte in a height of 1967 meters above sea-level and there you may choose between different attractions like
    1)Teddyland - an attaraction for the whole family
    2)the Alpengarten with 500 different alpine flowers
    3)the Schynige Platte-restaurant and alpine-hotel:
    Hotel Schynige Platte, CH-3800 Interlaken
    Tel. +41 (0)33 822 34 31, Fax +41 (0)33 822 34 56
    www.schynigeplatte.chThe train to Schynige Platte dates back to the year 1893 and was electrified already in the year 1914.
    The track of the cog-wheel-train is 7500 meters long and the difference in height is more than 1400 meters.
    The train runs ONLY IN SUMMER:
    between may 27th and October 15th in 2006
    for other years please check at the link below !
    The last train is leaving Schynige Platte at 06.00p.m. !
    The ordinary return-ticket is 52 sfr from Wilderswil
    It is included in the "Regionalpass Berner Oberland"
    and in the "Jungfraubahnen-Pass"
