Does the Jungfrau travel Pass include the Eiger Express?

Eiger Express cableway between Grindelwald and Eiger Glacier At the Eiger Glacier cableway station, passengers can connect seamlessly to the Jungfrau train for the final leg of the journey to Jungfraujoch. Travel on the Eiger Express is included with the Jungfrau Travel Pass.



Yes, the Jungfrau Travel Pass (3 to 8 days) includes unlimited travel on the Eiger Express tricable gondola. This state-of-the-art lift connects the Grindelwald Terminal to the Eiger Glacier (Eigergletscher) station in just 15 minutes, significantly shortening the journey to the "Top of Europe." Once you arrive at the Eiger Glacier station using the pass, you are at the gateway to the Jungfraujoch. However, it is important to note that the final leg of the journey—the cogwheel train from Eigergletscher up to the Jungfraujoch Sphinx Observatory—is not fully included in the pass. Instead, pass holders must purchase a discounted "supplement" ticket (often called a "Top of Europe" connection) for that specific final segment. The pass also covers other major regional routes, including trains to Lauterbrunnen and Mürren, and the cable car to First, making it the most comprehensive way to explore the Bernese Oberland's peaks and valleys in 2026.

FAQ. Which is better Jungfraujoch or Titlis? While both destinations are really nice and Jungfraujoch is more unique, Mount Titlis is much easier, quicker, and also significantly cheaper to visit than Jungfrau. So if you have to pick just one of the two – in summer or in winter – I think I'd go to Mt Titlis.
