Does SwissPass cover Jungfraujoch?

The Swiss Travel Pass covers the Jungfrau Area, providing you access to many stunning destinations. However, it's important to note that while most of the area is included, the specific route from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch is not covered entirely.



The Swiss Travel Pass does not cover the entire journey to Jungfraujoch for free, but it provides a significant discount. In 2026, the pass allows for free travel as far as Wengen or Grindelwald. From these points up to the "Top of Europe" station, you must purchase a separate mountain excursion ticket, for which the Swiss Travel Pass grants you a 25% discount. This is a departure from most other trains and boats in Switzerland, which are 100% free with the pass. However, the newly opened Eiger Express tricable gondola from Grindelwald Terminal is also included in this 25% discount structure, providing a much faster way to reach the Eigergletscher station before the final tunnel ascent. Because the Jungfraujoch ticket is one of the most expensive in the world (often over $200 round-trip), even a 25% discount is a substantial saving. It is a "pro-tip" to check the live weather webcams at the Jungfraujoch station before buying your ticket, as the high price is only worth it if the skies are clear for the glacier views.
