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 does not provide free travel to the summit of Grindelwald First, but it does offer a significant 50% discount on the gondola ride from the Grindelwald valley station. While the Swiss Travel Pass covers the full cost of the train journey from major cities like Interlaken or Zurich into the town of Grindelwald itself, the mountain cable cars are considered "excursions" rather than public transport. With your pass, you can purchase the round-trip ticket to First for half the standard price (approx. 32–35 CHF instead of 64–70 CHF). Additionally, the pass often provides discounts on the "Adventure" activities at the top, such as the First Flyer zipline or the Mountain Carts. For those looking for "free" mountain peaks with the Swiss Travel Pass, you would need to head to Mt. Rigi, Stanserhorn, or Stoos, which are the few major excursions fully included in the pass. For 2026 travelers, it is highly recommended to show your digital pass at the ticket window or link it in the SBB app to secure the discounted fare.
