The Grindelwald First cable car is not fully included in the Swiss Travel Pass for free in 2026; however, pass holders are entitled to a 50% discount on the standard fare. While the Swiss Travel Pass covers almost all trains, buses, and boats for free (including the train journey into Grindelwald), mountain excursions like the gondola ride to the summit of First are considered private operations. In 2026, a discounted return ticket for pass holders costs approximately CHF 36 ($46), whereas the full fare is roughly CHF 72. The summit attractions, such as the "First Cliff Walk by Tissot" and the "First View" vantage platform, are usually free to access once you reach the top. If you choose to participate in adventure activities like the First Flyer or Mountain Cart, these require separate, non-discounted tickets or a specific "Adventure Package." For those with a Jungfrau Travel Pass, the cable car ride to First is often included for free, making that pass a better choice if you plan to focus solely on the Jungfrau region.
