Grindelwald First with the Swiss Travel Pass If you're holding a Swiss Travel Pass, your cable car journey from Grindelwald to First would be at a 50% discounted price. Activities must be paid for individually over and above the cable car ticket and can be chosen from.

The Swiss Travel Pass (STP) provides a 50% discount on the gondola ride from Grindelwald up to "First," but it does not cover the journey for free. While the STP covers 100% of the cost for the train journey to Grindelwald station, the mountain transport systems (like cable cars and funiculars) are generally considered "private excursions" and only offer a reduction. Once you are at the top of Grindelwald First, the "First Cliff Walk by Tissot" is free for everyone. However, popular adventure activities like the First Flyer (zipline) or the First Glider require separate paid tickets, though you may occasionally find small discounts for pass holders during the 2026 season. It is a common misconception that the pass covers all mountain peaks; while it covers Rigi and Stanserhorn at 100%, most others—including Jungfraujoch and Mount Pilatus—follow the 25% to 50% discount model. You simply show your pass at the ticket window in Grindelwald to receive the reduced fare before boarding the gondola.
