Pro tips to help you make a pick

The views from Grindelwald First are best on clear days. Before buying your tickets, check the local weather forecast and look at live webcams to ensure you’ll have the best visibility of the stunning mountain scenery.

To skip the hassle of waiting in long ticket lines—which can stretch up to 30 minutes or more in peak season—try booking your gondola tickets online.

You can enjoy the First Cliff Walk and viewing platform for free at Grindelwald First. But for extra adventure—like the First Flyer, First Glider, or Mountain Carts—you’ll need tickets. Alternatively, you can grab an Adventure Package to bundle them together.

It's good to plan your visit around the month that matches your preferred activities, and check availability ahead of time so you don’t miss out. For example, activities like Trottibike or boat cruise on Lake Brienz are only usually available until late October.

If you're heading out from Lucerne or Zurich, a day trip is a great option. It covers everything—scenic coach ride to Grindelwald, a cable car up to Mt. First (though this isn’t part of the Zurich tour), and a train ride back to Interlaken.

Soweit so gut. Die Anreise im Zug auf das Jungfraugjoch ist etwas speziell. Wir hatten Glück immer einen Sitzplatz zu haben. Und dies ausserhalb der Ferien und ohne Ausländische Touristen. Wir möchten uns nicht vorstellen, wie es ist in der Hochsaison.

Ich habe bei Ihnen gebucht und konnte aber mein CH-Halbtaxticket nicht einsetzen. Deshalb Stornierung, sie haben umgehend organisiert, dass mein Geld zurückkommt. Das Erlebnis auf dem Jungfraujoch war unerreicht toll, wunderbar, einmalig, phantastisch! Kind regards Anna
