What does Swiss Pass cover in Interlaken?

With a Swiss Travel Pass you get unlimited travel on trains, buses and boats to reach popular cities such as Bern, Basel, Geneva, Interlaken, Lucerne, Innsbruck, Zurich and Lausanne as well as the country's greatest natural highlight, the Swiss Alps.



In 2026, the Swiss Travel Pass offers exceptionally comprehensive coverage in the Interlaken region, serving as an "all-in-one" ticket for nearly all local transport. It provides unlimited travel on the regional trains connecting Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost, as well as the entire local bus network. For those looking to explore the water, the pass includes free travel on the spectacular Lake Thun and Lake Brienz boat cruises, which are a highlight for many visitors. When heading into the mountains, the pass covers the train journey up to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald at no extra cost. Beyond these points, the pass typically offers a 50% discount on most mountain railways and cable cars, such as the Schynige Platte railway and the Harder Kulm funicular. Notably, it provides a 25% discount on the high-altitude journey to the Jungfraujoch ("Top of Europe"). Additionally, holders gain free entry to the local Tourism Museum and over 500 other museums across Switzerland, making it the most cost-effective way to navigate the "Gateway to the Alps."

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.
