With the Jungfrau Travel Pass you pay only a connection ticket: CHF 89 in summer, from CHF 63 in winter. The Half Fare Card is valid on the whole network. The Swiss Travel Pass covers the train to Grindelwald, Wengen and Lauterbrunnen and gives about 25 percent on the rest, so the figure is clearly higher than with a Half Fare Card. Prices for summer 2027 are not published yet. More on the pass in our Jungfrau Travel Pass guide.

Jungfrau Railway →One-way tickets
In summer a single from Interlaken Ost costs CHF 135.60 and from Grindelwald Terminal CHF 124.60, exactly half of the return. Singles are sold only through the SBB portal or at a staffed counter of the Jungfrau Railways.
Routes and times →Children
Up to 5 years free. Ages 6 to 15 travel free with a Junior Card or a child travel card (CHF 30 per child at any SBB station). In summer every child needs the CHF 10 seat reservation as well.

Good Morning Ticket and Unlimited passes
Two options for early risers and for people who ride a lot.
Good Morning Ticket
Sold only from 1 May to 31 October 2026 and cheaper than the normal fare, with a price label from CHF 190.40. Seat reservation is mandatory. It is valid only on one of the first two connections from Interlaken Ost (7:04 or 7:34 via Grindelwald Terminal, arriving 8:41 or 9:11) and for the descent from the Jungfraujoch until 13:17 at the latest. It cannot be combined with Half Fare Card, GA, Swiss Travel Pass or Eurail and Interrail. If you break the rules you pay the difference to the normal fare plus CHF 10, and fines of up to CHF 90 are possible. Webshop tickets can be cancelled free until 23:59 the day before. A winter version has not been announced.
Unlimited passes
The Unlimited Jungfrau Summer Pass starts at CHF 449 (3 April to 29 November 2026), the Unlimited Jungfrau Winter Pass at CHF 399 (1 December 2026 to 30 April 2027). Both include unlimited rides to the Jungfraujoch. They only make sense if you plan to go up more than once.
How to save money
Five things that actually change the bill.
Use a Half Fare Card
From Interlaken Ost it saves CHF 130.60 in summer (271.20 to 140.60) and CHF 112.20 in winter before 13 December (224.40 to 112.20).
Go in the cold season
From Interlaken Ost the winter fare is CHF 45.60 to 46.80 lower than the summer fare including reservation. Weather matters more than price on the day, see best time to visit.
Compare passes with plain tickets
A regional pass pays off only if you use many other lifts and trains. Do the sum first, see the worked examples.
Buy children's cards
The child travel card costs CHF 30 and replaces a full ticket for a child aged 6 to 15.
Start where you sleep
Tickets are cheaper from Grindelwald and Wengen than from Interlaken Ost in summer. From 13 December Wengen is the lowest at CHF 200.00. See where to stay.
