3.Jungfrau Travel Pass 3-8 days

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 55 reviews · from $260

Use a mobile Jungfrau Travel Pass for 3 to 8 days of train, bus, boat, and gondola travel around Interlaken, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Kleine Scheidegg, Harder Kulm, First, Schynige Platte, and Männlichen. You plan your own days without a guide. The pass does not cover the final connection to Jungfraujoch, and coverage varies by route and pass length.
