Which side of the train goes to Grindelwald?

Kleine Scheidegg via Grindelwald Keep in mind to get in the right part of the train in Interlaken. In Interlaken your train is to Grindelwald is located on 2B side of the platform. Both trains to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald run coupled together to Zweilütschingen where the train is split in half.



When taking the Berner Oberland-Bahn (BOB) from Interlaken Ost in 2026, you must sit in the Sector B (usually the rear or front half, depending on the day) which is clearly marked for Grindelwald. A supportive peer "must-know" for Swiss travel: the train literally splits in two at the Zweilütschinen station. One half of the train detaches and heads toward Lauterbrunnen, while the other half continues to Grindelwald. There are digital displays on the side of each carriage and inside the train that explicitly state the destination. Always double-check these screens before you sit down! If you find yourself in the wrong half after Zweilütschinen, you’ll end up in a completely different valley. In 2026, the new "Goldenpass Express" and modernized BOB trains have even clearer multilingual announcements to ensure tourists don't miss the spectacular views of the Eiger on the way to Grindelwald.
