This is a question commonly asked by visitors to Switzerland. The answer is no, the entire journey to the Jungfraujoch is not covered by the Swiss Travel Pass. Passholders can travel for free as far as either Wengen or Grindelwald. A 25% discount applies for the remainder of the trip to Jungfraujoch.

The Swiss Travel Pass provides unlimited travel from Interlaken as far as Wengen or Grindelwald, but it does not fully cover the final mountain segment to the Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe). For the journey starting from Interlaken Ost, you can use your pass to travel for free on the Bernese Oberland Railway (BOB) to Lauterbrunnen/Wengen or Grindelwald. However, for the high-altitude section from Kleine Scheidegg or the Eigergletscher up to the Jungfraujoch, you must purchase a separate ticket. Holders of the Swiss Travel Pass receive a 25% discount on this final mountain stretch. In 2026, this discount remains a standard feature, helping to offset the high cost of the cogwheel train or the Eiger Express cable car. While the trip is expensive, the pass still covers 100% of the surrounding valley transport and many other regional cable cars (like the Schilthorn) at a 50% discount.
